It seems that language rooms are less popular: Guile, Python, Ruby, Lua rooms are not present compared to last year. Nevertheless there are bunch of talks that seem interesting to me:

  - Automating Your Lights with Open Source
  - Using Cryptographic Hardware
  - Smart Cards in Linux and why you should care
  - Inside Monero

I will probably be there for both days.

In my experience (I've been to FOSDEM 3 times) the language rooms were the most difficult ones to get into as they were full 90% of the time.

It also looks like Python has a main track on Saturday.

They decided to skip a year for some rooms to allow other interesting topics to have a room.

Go and java are still quite present. I am also going to some python talks. :-)

There is a Perl language room with several interesting sounding presentations.
