[Nut-upsdev] FOSDEM 2025

[Jim Klimov]

 The trip to FOSDEM 2025 was great fun, with many interactions, useful
lectures and fruitful conversations.

It was insightful to randomly meet at least one person using the project, a
few eager to use and asking question, and sadly quite a few who did not
recognize not only "NUT" but also "UPS" key words.

Face-to-face talks to maintainers of Debian, OpenIndiana, Tribblix and
systemd, to name a few, provided interesting ideas to evolve OS integration
as the systems themselves change. The maintainer of COBOL had some
information about the arrangement and hosting of build systems they use
(and maybe we might knock on that door too).

And the events hosted by Jenkins (we do a lot of it in the NUT CI farm,
created and popularized the Jenkins-dynamatrix solution, and co-maintain
some plugins), as well as by OpenCollective themselves, were not only fun
but also work - netWORKing and sharing knowledge and ideas on these
organizational fronts as well.

Thinking about expanding the presence (maybe submit to deliver some lecture
about NUT history/architecture/CI/plans, make stickers, etc.) in the
future. A table/stand is probably too big an ask, but this year many tables
were time-shared by different projects, so that is also an option.
