Hello all Friends of Mender! Four weeks to go! FOSDEM 2026 is approaching, and I will be there as always. Are you also around? Let’s kick off the weekend together! Join us for the **Mender Community Dinner** on **Friday, January 30th** – the evening before FOSDEM. It’s the perfect opportunity to say hello, share your stories, challenges, and successes – all over good food and a drink of your choice. This is open to everyone: long-time contributors, first-time users, or anyone curious about OTA updates and embedded Linux. **How to join?** Just ping me (@TheYoctoJester) so I can book enough seats. Details on location and starting time will follow once I know the group size. _Please let me know no later than January 23rd, as restaurant bookings in Brussels during FOSDEM get complicated quickly!_ * * * While you’re waiting for FOSDEM, check out **Device Dojo** – our hands-on video series covering practical embedded security and device integration topics, from TPM-based disk encryption to advanced Yocto techniques: https://www.youtube.com/embed/videoseries?list=PLQ_2mkmYqX7aWMvsYsdRKpPbRMGcysf6y&wmode=transparent&rel=0&autohide=1&showinfo=1&enablejsapi=1 * * * And mark your calendars: we’ll also be at **Embedded World 2026** in Nuremberg, March 10–12. More details to follow! Greetz and see you there, Josef
