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.
