Dear Osmocom Community,
[please respect the Reply-To and post all follow-up discussion to this
to openbsc(a)lists.osmocom.org, so we avoid having long threads
cross-posted to several mailing lists.]
>From 2012 to 2016 we were running a series of small, invitation-only
Osmocom Developer Conferences. Access was intentionally restricted
to those community members who have demonstrated an existing track
record of contribution to any of the projects under the Osmocom
umbrella.
This format of a small, tightly knit group of about 20 people has been
successful over the years, and I have received a lot of positive
feedback from past participants.
On the other hand, the Osmocom project has grown in scope and diversity,
and some of those projects don't have all that much relationship to each
other - except being started by people from within the same group.
There's the cellular communications (GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS and hopefully at
some point LTE) protocols which is attracting a lot of professional
users. And then there's pure community projects like rtl-sdr,
OsmocomBB, OsmocomGMR and many other efforts.
Particularly the cellular infrastructure projects (OsmoBTS, OsmoPCU,
OsmoBTS, OsmoNITB, OsmoSGSN, OpenGGSN, OsmoIuh & co) are somehow
"standing out" of the othe projects in the context of having a wider
user bsae, and in that user base also primarily commercial users.
So I'd like to start a discussion on how to possibly change the event
format to accomodate the various interests and parties. I definitely
don't want to loose the "annual meeting of old friends" atmosphere,
while at the same time also opening up to other interested parties.
One idea would be to keep OsmoDevCon as-is and have a separate event
where non-contributing/developing users / sysadmins / system integrators
could also be attending.
Another idea would be to split into a 'user day' and 'developer days'
format. This is something the netfilter developer workshops have been
using for many years, and from my limited insight quite successfully so.
The "user day" is more like a traditional tech conference, with a large
auditorium and talks oriented towards users / sysadmins / integrators of
the software. The "developer days" are the invitation-only part, for
known contributing developers only, similar to what we have at
OsmoDevCon.
Having both events (or both parts of an event) back-to-back has the
advantage that a large number of potential speakers for the 'user day'
are already present, and they don't have to travel yet another time.
One could even structure it further and say we have one user day, one
public 'Osmocom cellular developer day' and then the closed 'OsmoDevCon
classic', maybe reduced from 4 days to 3 or even 2 days only?
What is the general opinion about this?
Are there people lurking on this list who would be interested in
attending a public 'user day' or even 'developer day' about the Osmocom
cellular projects, with presentations and workshops around topics such
as running Osmocom based cellular networks?
In terms of when/where, I would suggest to keep the tradition of April
in Berlin/Germany. But I'm of course very happy if somebody wants to
host it some place else...
Regards, and looking forward to meeting you [again] in 2017,
Harald

Hi guys,
I think some of us would like to move to redmine and start using public tickets more frequently. So in case we move there are some topics to be discussed and I would like to start with a couple of them right now.
Tickets:
Redmine has a global linear sequence of ticket numbers. If we move from many tracs to a single redmine we can either:
* not import tickets
* only import from one project
* deal with changing ticket numbers
In terms of installations the GMR trac is broken in regard to tickets, there are some for SDR that are probably not being fixed anytime soon, baseband might be relevant and OpenBSC is unlikely to be relevant. I don't think we have ever used ticket reference in OpenBSC commit messages so in terms of OpenBSC having changing ticket numbers would not be a big deal. E.g. we could add a custom field with the old trac number?
Wiki:
We have external references that should be redirected to the new place. Is there any way besides maintaining a list in the apache2/nginx configuration and making redirects as we find broken references? Can we proactively manage this? Is anybody willing to come up with a script and nginx configuration for doing this?
kind regards
holger
Hi all,
I think we are close to the point of no return. All tickets and wikis have been imported. Please have a quick look if there is something obviously broken and if not I will proceed with post-processing and renaming tonight.
kind regards
holger
dear all

Hi All,
After long long struggle, I have successfully installed OsmocomGmr.
For ease of others, I want to share my experience,
My OS is Ubuntu - 12.04
I have find following link for gnuRadio installation, it is very well written document.
http://www.orbit-lab.org/wiki/Documentation/GNURadio/InstallationOnUbuntu12…
This document guided me how to install UHD / GNU Radio and other stuff in 6 step.
Software Installed are :
UHD : release_003_005_002
GNU Radio : gnuradio-3.6.4.1
After Installation, I tested the connectivity of uhd / gnuRadio by following utilities:
1. uhd_find_devices
2. uhd_usrp_probe
3. gnuradio-config-info -v
For testing of input signal I used uhd_fft utility, Signals were coming.
I have usrp2 so i used following command for signal reception:
./gmr_multi_rx --gmr1-dl 802 -P /home/zia/Desktop/ --addr=type=usrp2 -a RX2 -S A:0 -T 10
Thanks,
Zafar
Hi,
I have resolve some of my previous issue and from few days i am stuck on following problem:

Going through GMR mailing list I have found that you posted same problem in Oct-2012.
I have follow the Mr,Sylvain advice and run uhd_fft utility, that is working fine and showing signal on screen.
Can u plz guide me how to resolve this issue.
(i am using Ubuntu 12.04 OS).
Thanxs

Dear all,
so far the osmocom.org mailing lists have always been in a 'non-members
are manually moderated' mode. This has created a lot of work for manual
list moderation, where a lot of the messages caught are simply spam, and
only the occasional valid message is being received.
I'd like to thank the list moderators for taking care of this.
However, in more recent discussions, we were considering to move the
lists to a completely closed mode, i.e. postings would automatically be
rejected from non-members.
The automatic response would contain a description of how to subscribe
in 'nomail' mode, i.e. to subscribe in a way to be able to post to the
list, while still not receiving any incoming traffic. The latter should
be fine for occasional posters who don't want the bulk e-mail that goes
with a full/regular subscription.
Please provide feedback in case you disagree with that change. Unless
there is major opposition, we will likely transition to the 'closed'
mode within one month.
Thanks,
Harald
