Thanks to everyone, who decided to stop by our stand at FOSDEM’18! It was a pleasure to meet all of you and have a chat about Turris, all things related and non-related and play Turtris. Our event organizer Marcela took a good number of pictures and here is a small selection documenting the event. We had fun, we hope you did too and we hope to see you there next year. Happy routing!
Team Turris


FOSDEM is the Free and Open Source Software Developers' European Meeting - a non-commercial, volunteer-organized European event focused on free and open-source software development. This year the meeting takes place the 3rd to 4th of February in Brussels. For the past couple of years, the Turris team has been present and we will also be attending FOSDEM this year, in fact in greater numbers than ever! We are excited to attend the conference and will be looking forward to meeting anyone, who decides to pay our stand in building AW a visit. If you decide to stop by, you will have the chance to chat with our developers and other members of the team, play a game of Turtris, get some stickers or even a 15% discount on Turris Omnia.
See you there!
Turris Omnia is on the market for several months but seems to interest only linux geeks. Therefore it was a pleasant surprise that the public at CeBit really liked it.
Their first question was inspired by the slogan of our stand: “Why is this router open-source? What is it for?” Good question. Why should a router be “open source? First of all, because of you can be sure that it does what it is supposed to do. Transfer data where it is supposed to transfer to. That there are no backdoors or spies. You can be less and less sure of this when it comes to closed-source programs. Turris source codes are freely available and if you cannot study those, a lot of people had already studied those. Open source means security, not only for the open source fans but also for normal users.
Openness of the router is not only a security issue, but also usefulness and scalability. The visitors to our stand appreciated that they can install their own software to our router and utilize relatively powerful and still size- and energy-economical hardware instead of the usual server. We have encountered lots of demands …
Our secure router Turris Omnia is successful on the open market so we are going to show it on the world's biggest information technology expo CeBIT in German city Hannover. You'll be able to see our exposition in the hall 12 during the whole show from 20th to 24th March.
All attendees from consumers to business partners can look forward to see not only the router and related HW, but they will be also able to meet the project chief Patrick Zandl and Community Manager Václav Zbránek. Representatives of sales and marketing department will be also there.
Nice bonus for the attendees will be also the possibility to get the 15% discount voucher to buy Turris Omnia in selected e-shop.
