Is fossdem Kids friendly ? Is there somebody who came with a 8 year old child to fossdem ?
I think it's doable but not a lot of fun. You will have to walk from one lecture to another outside, lots of crowding in plenty of spots.
Public transport is also full.
But there are two bigger rooms (one old one new) with good talks you can always go to
While it's definitely bare, and the weather was often shit, it's my most favorite conference
