Hi Neels,

I am noting possible duplication in effort preparing
the camp as well as
digital infrastructure. Apparently bibor and lynxis aim to manage wiki etc on
code.fe80.eu and the event-orga ML, and Osmocom to be part of the Singularity
City. In contrast, this Osmocom Village mail seems to suggest a separate
village and wiki+ML. I also at some point noted separate efforts made by
different people for setting up a large Osmocom tent, IIUC.
I think the "problem" here is that we have two disjunct communities:
1) The wider "Osmocom and friends" community, consisting of people related to
Osmocom projects unrelated to GSM/cellular, but even reaching into the gnuradio
crowd, who had historically also been sharing the Osmocom village. This is about
bringing together people working on various SDR / communications related topics
for "hanging out, chatting, ...". As I wrote before, people have reached out
to
me about this for months.
2) The "post LaF0rge" team operating the 2G/3G network at CCC events. I see
that
as a rather "production oriented" team which has to work closely with the
POC,
etc. and which shouldn't be bothered/distracted by people who are not
involved in that.
I'm not sure how to consolidate, but I get the
strong feeling that bibor,
lynxis and laforge should talk about the camp preparations to avoid "aneinander
vorbeireden", confusion and redundant efforts ... ?
I'm always open to discuss, but after months of public posts on this
ando ther mailing lists, I'm not sure what there is to add. In short:
* both villages are now part of Singularity City
* Osmocom Village has no separate tent/infrastructure but people will
hang out at the singularity city hackcenter.
Regards,
Harald
