#FOSDEM21 is coming to an end and it was awesome as always 🤘
we have an estimation of ~33.6k attendees for the conference and ~20k attendees for today...impressive...and now take this numbers and try to fill the ULB 😱
anyway. after FOSDEM is before #FOSDEM so looking forward to see you on #FOSDEM22 , maybe in place on ULB or online as this year =)
many thanks again to @matrix team, @fosdem and all volunteers 🍻
@codesections the closing talk was prepared before we had those numbers and reflected more those from saturday 😉 @matrix @fosdem
#FOSDEM2021 : over 33K attendees for #FOSDEM online ? does this challenge @fosdem to find a bigger place for next edition ? or community should be structured differently ? @ShinIce @matrix

Congrats on the great turnout! I definitely had a good time – thanks for everyone's hard work.
I'm confused, though: from the closing talk, I understood that attendance was _down_ a bit from last year, which I thought was ~8.5k https://matrix.org/blog/2021/01/04/taking-fosdem-online-via-matrix
Was attendance actually way up, or am I misunderstanding?
