Hello dear OCA members and contributors,

I hope 2026 is starting good for you, your business and your families!

I am happy to share that the OCA will be officially represented for the first time during the biggest open source event in the world, the well known FOSDEM. If you don't know about it, you'll find more about it here : https://fosdem.org/2026/

It's in Brussels (Belgium), on Saturday 31st January and Sunday 1st February.

It's a great experience, even if you are not a developer. I've been attending this event for many years and it's something to see once in your life: the city of Brussels become full of geeks and open source enthusiasts. The event takes place in the university (ULB) in many different rooms in 6 different buildings. It's also a good way to take your 10.000 steps a day ;) I particularly appreaciate the Community Dev Room, as well as the "Funding the FOSS ecosystem" Dev Room. There is a Python Dev Room, topics about Securyity, Performance, Testing... so many interesting things to learn!

For the first time, the OCA will be at FOSDEM with a booth (a stand), located in " F-02" together with Dolibarr ERP CRM.

I am looking for volunteers to help on the booth. That means: you need to be there for one or more shifts of 2h and talk to people who ask questions about Odoo, the OCA and open source ERP in general. We are already a small bunch of people (I can name hugues from Coop IT Easy, Sébastien Beau and Benoit Guillot from Akretion France, and even a developer working at Odoo, Stéphane Bidoul might join for a bit on Sunday.. and you?!)

Even if you are new in the community, your perspective will be good to share at the booth. No need to be an old-timer to come and help. It's also a nice way to meet other people of the community in real life.

Julie helped me set up this shared document so that you can indicate when you are happy to join the booth:

I'll get in touch with the volunteers a bit before the event starts.

Have a nice week, everyone!
