Dear Osmocom community,

one of the main difficulty with OsmoCon 2017 last year was that nobody submitted talks / discussions within the deadline, early enough to allow for proper planning.

This lead to the situation where the sysmocom team had to come up with a schedule/agenda on their own. Later on *much after the CfP deadline*, people then squeezed in talks, making the overall schedule too full.

It is up to you to avoid this situation again in 2018 by submitting your talk *RIGHT NOW*. We will be very strict regarding late submissions. So if you would like to shape the Agenda of OsmoCon 2018, this is your chance. Please use it.

We will have to create a schedule soon, as [almost] nobody will register to a conference unless the schedule is known. If there's not sufficient contribution in terms of CfP response from the wider community, don't complain later that 90% of the talks are from sysmocom team members and only about the Cellular Network Infrastructure topics.

You have been warned. Please make your CfP submission in time at https://pretalx.sysmocom.de/osmocon2018/cfp

before the CfP deadline on *2018-05-30 23:59 (Europe/Berlin)*

Thanks for your kind attention. Looking forward to meet with the community at OsmoCon 2018 in October.

Regards, Harald
