On the 31st of January 2026 we’ll organize the 4th edition of the Energy Devroom at the FOSDEM conference in Brussels. It would be cool to have OpenEMS or similar projects represented there to highlight achievements and grow the community. For an impression you can look at the schedule of last year You find the Call for Proposals on this years Energy devroom website The deadline 1st of December.

Hi @nicorikken,
thanks for your hint. Would really be great to have someone from the OpenEMS community going to the FOSDEM.
Hi @OpenEMS_Community,
for those of you, who don’t know what this is. In my opinion it is one of the most important conferences regarding Open Source software. See the FOSDEM wiki page. We can learn a lot from them (and should be part of it).
The Call for Participation for the coming FOSDEM:
We are seeking presentations related to energy systems and energy usage.
Project overview presentations are welcome, however tangible applications
and use-cases are preferred, as are stories and lessons for community
building in the energy industry.
We anticipate topics such as scheduling energy consumption, electric
vehicle charging infrastructure, metering and measurement systems,
microgrid controls, applications for going off-grid, and more. If you are
unsure about what direction to take a topic, please reach out so we can
assist you.
This looks like a fit to OpenEMS 
Note that the CfP submission deadline is the 1st of December 2025.
I will see if I can clean my schedule…
