Hi. I am one of the organisers for the Data Analytics DevRoom at FOSDEM 2025. For those of you that are not familiar with FOSDEM, it is the largest Free and Open Source event in Europe, and it takes place every year in Brussels on the first weekend of February. The event is organised in multiple DevRooms organised by volunteers. This is the first year there is a DevRoom about Data Analytics, and we wanted to make sure we reach out to as many groups as possible. The Call For Papers is now open until the end of the month. We welcome presentations about any open source project(s) around data and analytics: scientific libraries, databases, open data formats, ingestion, visualisation, data quality, data wrangling.. both from a maintainer’s or from a user’s perspective. Any programming languages are welcome. More info about the CFP at the link above or at the web version of the CFP. https://javier.github.io/data_analytics_devroom_cfp_fosdem_2025/. Any questions you might have, feel free to ask on this thread or via DM.

If you want to discover and deep dive into: • What is a Vector? Understanding how high-dimensional numerical representations store meaning in the context of Apache Pinot. • AI’s Growing Reliance on Vectors – From recommendation systems to search engines, how AI uses vector embeddings to understand relationships between words, images, and concepts. • The Rise of LLMs & English as the New Programming Language – With Large Language Models (LLMs) enabling natural language interfaces, vector embeddings are powering a shift where human-friendly queries drive powerful computation. • Vectors as the Backbone of AI-Powered Databases – How modern databases are evolving to support real-time vector search, enabling applications like semantic search, RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), and AI-driven personalization.
