That's all folks
T-DOSE 2025 has come and gone. We're looking back on a great weekend with many interesting presentations. It was great to see a lot of new faces and meet new like-minded people, as well as catch up with old friends and many frequent visitors from previous editions. Many thanks to everyone who helped make this event a success, including all speakers, project stand representatives, all volunteers, the staff at the Weeffabriek and, of course, everybody who participated!
Note that it is already possible to view back yesterday's live stream with all presentations in the Kleine Spoel. These will be edited and published individually later. A number of presenters have already uploaded their slides as well. You can find these from the talk descriptions - which are linked from the schedule overview.
As mentioned during the closing talk, T-DOSE will definitely be back next year. It will be 20 years since the first edition in 2006 at Eindhoven University of Technology. Next year, we will once again be at the Weeffabriek in Geldrop. Mark your calendars for 6 and 7 June 2026 — T-DOSE weekend! Hope to see you all again there and bring your friends.
Live streaming
We are now live-streaming all presentations in the Kleine Spoel on our channel, youtube.com/@T-DoseEvent. Not yet with an open-source distribution network, but we are working on that as well. So, for those who cannot join in person, this is your second-best option. Recordings will be made available after the conference as well.
At lunch time, there will be a live-streaming Angry Nerds from the Grote Spoel as well via their own channels.
Ready for T-DOSE
We're all ready for the next edition of our free, annual conference: the Technical Dutch Open Source Event (T-DOSE) is happening this weekend at the Weeffabriek. As always, there is no entrance fee and advance registration is not required: just walk in whenever you feel like. The keynote is highly recommended though, so best join early.
We have a full conference schedule with parallel tracks, starting at 10:00 on both Saterday and Sunday. Check out the quick overview of all speakers. We also have a very nice line-up of project stands, who will be presenting in the Grote Spoel room.
On Saturday evening, we will be hosting our famous social event with dinner. Unfortunately, this is now fully booked and we don't have extra seats available. On Sunday, there will also be a live podcast session by the Angry Nerds at lunch time: do join in and see them live.
The conference venue is on walking distance from the Geldrop train station; bicycle parking is available right in front of the building and plenty free car parking is nearby. Our venue page has the full details, and also more practical information (full address, ATM, nearby accommodation..). The Weeffabriek building is named for the weaving mill located there, that is still in operation in the museum part of the building, open 13:00-17:00 on both days.
To keep T-DOSE completely free (free as in beer) for all visitors, we rely on our sponsors and on donations from visitors. Donations can be made at the infodesk during the event or directly online. You should of course visit the infodesk in the Grote Spoel anyway, to buy your unique T-DOSE t-shirt. There are still plenty shirts from last year as well; as these arrived a bit late. We also sell T-DOSE mugs with this year's flashy logo. These mugs can be refilled with coffee and tea at no additional cost during the entire event.
See you tomorrow!
Conference Schedule Published
The full conference schedule for the 2025 T-DOSE edition on 31 May and 1 June has now been published. We are happy to announce that we have found many interesting speakers willing to present for this conference edition.
There will be two tracks on both Saturday and Sunday, spanning a wide range of technical and community concepts. Have a look and join in to learn about many interesting open source topics.
Also check out the project stands that were announced earlier. We have more projects presenting themselves this year than in previous editions; late additions include the Crypto Museum and Turtle Stitch.
Looking forward to seeing you all at the Weeffabriek on 31 May and 1 June!
Social Event
The main part of any conference is of course the social aspect! A well established T-DOSE tradition is to have a dinner and a couple of drinks with speakers, volunteers and visitors to end the first conference day. Our social event will start at 6pm on Saturday evening. This is a great way to interact informally with all our speakers and whoever else you meet at T-DOSE. Discuss your experiences of the day and all the presentation that are still coming on the next day. Everybody is welcome.
Register now to be a part of this!
In order to prepare for this event, we need a good estimate on how many people will join is. That is why registration is open as of today. If you are interested in a nice dinner with like-minded people, then please let us know via email to socialevent @ t-dose.org. Because we need to book in advance, there will only be a very limited amount of extra slots available for sale on the day itself. Yes, really limited. Register in advance to guarantee your place at the table. Do not wait to register on the day itself - you might get disappointed.
Social event tickets cost 35 euro. You can pay during the event itself, at the T-DOSE info stand on Saturday. The social event is only open to people who have registered and paid before the event starts. Attendees of the social event will gather in the main hall of the T-DOSE event location. Don't be late, the doors will close at 6pm for the start of the social event. The entrance fee must be paid before that time at the T-DOSE info stand. If you have special dinner wishes, such as vegetarian food, please specify this in your email.
