Open Source security in spite of AI by Daniel Stenberg1 (of curl fame):
The title of my ending keynote at FOSDEM February 1, 2026.
As the last talk of the conference, at 17:00 on the Sunday lots of people had already left, and presumably a lot of the remaining people were quite tired and ready to call it a day.
Still, the 1500 seats in Janson got occupied and there was even a group of more people outside wanting to get in that had to be refused entry.
They say: “never meet your heroes”:
It is unwise to seek personal acquaintance with people whom one has regarded with high esteem, as they often fail to fulfill one’s expectations, resulting in disappointment
I had the opportunity to meet Daniel in person and I’m glad to state that I am not disappointed.
I was the volunteer who held the Q&A at the end for his talk, and that was a pleasure.
In my opinion, this was the best talk from FOSDEM 2026.
