Dear fellow Osmocom developers,
as you all know, we've sadly had to skip OsmoDevCon 2020 and 2021,
trying to compensate it at least to some extent with our OsmoDevCall
every two weeks.
The COVID-19 pandemic is far from over, and we don't know what the
upcoming winter season will bring.
Nevertheless, I think it would be a good idea to start a discussion of
whether we should plan for an OsmoDevCon in 2022.
I personally would say let's plan for the usual late April 2022 time frame,
and if the pandemic situation deteriorates, we can still cancel it with
something like one month lead time.
I would also personally suggest to limit attendance to people who are fully
vaccinated, and in addition do a self-test for all participants every
morning.
In terms of venue, we might also consider to move to a venue that allows better
ventilation. Irrespective of the above we can also bring the air filters from
the sysmocom office.
So with that as an input statement, I would like to hear your opinion
on the above proposals. Who would want to attend? Any complaints against
the "vaccinated only plus daily self-tests in the morning" approach?
Regards,
Harald

I'd like to add that I find it should also be sufficient to have recovered from
COVID. This is a common rule in schools in Berlin that does relieve teachers
from the need to test regularly (called 2G, incidentally).
Another question is whether we play by RKI rules and not accept certain
vaccines.
I guess we should first see whether anyone would be refused attendance based on
these rules and take it from there?
Here is a dudle to anonymously figure out the current vaccination status. Feel
free to enter your current status, especially if you're not fully vaccinated
and would like to attend. This is just to get a basis for discussion:

I guess we need to repeat such poll in early '22.
