CentOS Connect is coming back to Brussels January 28-29, 2027. That's the two days before FOSDEM. The CFP is open until December 4. We're interested in hearing about what you're doing across the CentOS ecosystem. These are all interesting topics for us:

• New developments or infrastructure in CentOS Stream.
• Updates and innovations happening in our Special Interest Groups.
• CentOS as a development platform for applications, derivatives, and AI.
• Automation and operations for CentOS and workloads on CentOS.

We also host meetups on Thursday morning, before our session track starts in the afternoon. Meetups are for groups of 10-30 people to meet for two hours to discuss a topic. They're ideal for SIGs and project initiatives. Meetup proposals should also be submitted through the CFP system.

Registration is open. CentOS Connect is free and open to everybody, but we strongly recommend you register so we can plan food and swag orders. Last time, we weren't able to give hoodies to all the walk-in attendees. Registration really does make a difference.

We also have a room block available at the DoubleTree. The room block is good through FOSDEM weekend. Our room block rate includes breakfast. Breakfast at the DoubleTree is a great place to find other CentOS contributors, as well as our Fedora friends.

Can't make it to Brussels? We livestream the sessions, and we do our best to relay questions from remote participants. We'll open a separate registration for the livestream in a few weeks.
