OpenTelemetry is returning to FOSDEM!

After this year’s resounding success of OTel Unplugged at FOSDEM 2026, we’re excited to announce that OTel Unplugged will be returning to FOSDEM in 2027!!

What is OTel Unplugged?

OTel Unplugged is an OpenTelemetry unconference and project roadmapping session. An unconference is like a conference, only instead of a speaker track, we have a series of breakout sessions where attendees get to pick the topics. If you are an end user, this is a great opportunity to connect with maintainers and other users to get your questions answered and give feedback to the project. If you are a maintainer or contributor, the is your chance to connect with your users face to face!

With everything fresh in our minds from the breakout sessions, we will end with a project roadmapping session. This is an opportunity to give suggestions and vote in order to communicate what your priorities are for this next year.

When and where is it happening?

OTel Unplugged will be happening on Monday, February 1st, 2027 – the day after FOSDEM. The event will be held in the lovely Sparks meeting hall located in central Brussels.
