Getting ready for #EOSAwards26

the Prize for Excellence in Open Source 2026 is handed out tonight in Brussels by the European Open Source Academy, and it is my honor as president to hand over this award to a truly worthy winner. I am sure you will agree with me once you learn who it is. Tonight.

I'm bringing... 8 #curl tshirts to #FOSDEM to give away

@nprofile1q... yeah, I don't believe AI is good enough for this, so doing this will risk making the program a horrible experience for the last humans actually doing things the right way. The ones we should care about the most. I've resisted this AI take for curl reports for this reason.

I started a documentation repo for #FOSDEM advise - for new and old visitors, attendees and speakers. I figure we can crowdsource it so bring your pull-requests. I will greatly appreciate help.

If not, I will populate it myself slowly over time but it won't be as good.

My closing keynote at #FOSDEM 2026 is going to become my 16th talk at the conference over the years. I did my first in 2010.

Another #FOSDEM advice: you won't find power outlets at the campus. Arrange so that your devices last through the day without getting plugged in.

On this day, twenty-five years ago, we shipped curl 7.6. The first #curl release with IPv6 support!

it sounds like the Log4J bug-bounty might soon close as well: https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2026/01/26/the-end-of-the-curl-bug-bounty/comment-page-1/#comment-27393
