On the weekend of April 25th/26th 2026, the 20th Linux Session was held in Wrocław, 🇵🇱 Poland. The Session is one of the oldest and biggest FLOSS-focused conferences in Poland. The event was organized by Akademickie Stowarzyszenie Informatyczne (Academic Informatics Association) at the Wrocław University of Science and Technology.

This edition spanned over two days of the weekend, starting early Saturday at 09:00 and ending on Sunday at approx. 17:00. The schedule contained 16 talks on the main track, as well as 4 extra talks on a Python side-track and 3 workshop sessions, plus a round of lightning talks right before the closing ceremony.

The Fedora Project was one of the sponsors of this year’s edition, providing some branded cups — which were given out as prizes for asking good questions in after-talk Q&A — as well as a catering budget.

The Fedora community was represented by Dominik Mierzejewski and Artur Frenszek-Iwicki. Dominik held a workshop session where he talked about video acceleration on Linux and helped the attendees set up their systems to make best use of their hardware.

“It’s actually weird. 10 years ago I’d have a lot to do, but now, people come over to the workshop and it turns out everything just works.” — Dominik

One of this year’s sponsors, Korbank, ran a contest where the attendees could try their best at assembling a rack server: inserting the power supplies, disks, memory and the CPU. The whiteboard tracking the scores revealed a truly fierce competition: while the first contestants barely made it under 2 minutes, the final winner finished well below 50 seconds!

There was also a community stall ran by the Coreforge Foundation, showcasing their progress in developing open hardware RISC-V CPUs. Pictured above is an FPGA programmed to run one of the foundation’s RISC-V cores.

No community meetup can be complete without a big bunch of stickers to share and give away — and this event was no different, featuring two tables full of stickers, posters and postcards, generously provided by the Free Software Foundation Europe and the NGI Zero fund.
