Dear Osmocom community,
as the pandemic continues and physical meetings are out of the question
for the forseeable future, it would be a good idea to have a periodic
virtual online meeting of the interested Osmocom community.
I was thinking of a format where we would serve two major purposes:
1) technical talks about osmocom relevant topics - ideally
current/recent developments
* can be pre-recorded to avoid any problems with technical setup,
streaming, ...
* should ideally have a Q+A session at their initial "airing" during
one OsmoDevCall
2) unstructured solicited social event (USSE)
* random chat in audio (optionally video)
* not recorded, obviously
The recording of the technical presentation should then be permanently
made available (like the presentations of our prior OsmoCon /
OsmoDevCon).
Not every OsmoDevCall would neccessarily need the two parts, but I think
it would be great if we can make that happen. We could also have e.g. a
two-weekly schedule for the USSE and a monthly schedule for the
technical presentation.
We'd need somebody to volunteer to "manage" the "broadcast" side of
this, preferably somebody with at least some prior exposure to online
events (like the c3voc).
I'm using https://osmocom.org/issues/4928 to collect a tentative list
of topics. Feel free to add your ideas there, as well as any comment/
feedback you may have.
Regards,
Harald

Dear Osmocom community,
This topic has been past due for way too many years by now:
A re-organization of our major mailing lists.
I would like to propose the following changes. Pleas let me know if you
have any comments or feedback. I'm aware that renaming will mean people
have to update their mail filter rules, but I think we're long past the
point where the names of some of our lists started to confuse users.
== openbsc(a)lists.osmocom.org ==
* openbsc doesn't exist anymore since OsmoNITB, which is also obsolete
* does already cover anything "Osmocom CNI" related
* Proposed new name: osmocom-cni(a)lists.osmocom.org
== osmocom-net-gprs(a)lists.osmocom.org ==
This date back to when GPRS was a highly experimental add-on to our GSM
code base. This list should simply be merged with openbsc@ as osmocom-cni(a)lists.osmocom.org
== simtrace(a)lists.osmocom.org ==
Historically was created to cover only the simtrace project.
We should rename this to osmocom-simcard(a)lists.osmocom.org or something
along those lines.
I would like to suggest it covers
* SIMtrace / SIMtrace2 hardware + firmware
* pySim and related tools for working with SIM/USIM/UICC cards
* any other information / discussion related to SIM/USIM/UICC cards,
like OTA, ARA-M, ...
== osmodevcon(a)lists.osmocom.org ==
This has been a private list for people attending OsmoDevCon
I would like to open up list membership to the general public, and ensure
it also covers the new OsmoDevCall. We could then have discussions regarding
feedback, topics, scheduling, etc. on that list.
Maybe rename it to osmocom-events(a)lists.osmocom.org instead?
To differentiate: osmocom-event-orga(a)lists.osmocom.org should remain a
private list related to organizational / administrative topics of those
involved with organizing future events.
== nextepc(a)lists.osmocom.org ==
Should have been renamed to open5gs(a)lists.osmocom.org quite some time
ago, I simply forgot about it. My apologies.
