Hi,

I was
pondering to start a regular Osmocom meeting (monthly or bi-weekly)
in Berlin.
The idea would be not only to converge the existing developers in Berlin
(zecke, roh, prom, tobias, peter, kevin, myself, ...) but to also try to
share some knowledge and excitement with other interested hackers in the
wider community.
That's a pretty nice idea!
A split format for the event might make sense: Have a
more or less
organized 45min talk about one particular topic + 15min discussion and
then switch to an informal meeting style without any particular topic or
moderator.
For the first half there is a long list of topics intended at informing
people about the status and capabilities of the respective projects:
OsmocomBB, OsmoTETRA, OsmoGMR, SIMtrace, etc.
Regarding the venue, I would suggest to hold it at the Berlin CCC.
Sounds good to me!
What do you generally think about this?
What day of the week should we be aiming at? Tuesday and Thursday is
generally not a good idea, as those are already occupied with other
events.
I would probably be in favor of Wednesday. Monthly sounds
good to me. I'm not sure if bi-weekly is a bit too
optimistic when it comes to people preparing exciting stuff
talks. I may be totally wrong though.
Cheers
Nico
