depending on your
timezone, it might be a good occasion to start thinking of an OsmoDevCon
2013.
I personally percevied OsmoDevCon 2012 as a big success, and it was fun
to bring everyone together.
+1
Generally, I prefer to keep the spirit of an
invitation-only
developer+contributor-only event of those involved in Osmocom. At the
same time, I would consider it a good idea to add a one day
user-conference to the schedule, where we try to get interested users up
to speed with the various projects, possibly including some workshops
and the like.
I second this.
So schedule-wise, I would suggest something like:
* one day user conference
* two day developer/contributor event
* optionally: 1-2 "hacking days".
The concept of "hacking days" has proven to be quite useful for the
netfilter project in the past (Pablo and I can acknowledge to that
fact). I'm not sure how many people would be able to spend even more
days of their schedule, but even if it's a much smaller group it would
still be useful, IMHO.
I'd like you to
1) provide feedback on the ideas about the one-day user event
Tutorials and status updates?
and the hacking days
Bug hunting&fixing (e.g. in osmosgsn), writing unit tests,
architecture changes discussions?
2) consider whether late march (like 2012) would be a
good schedule
again
I'm very much willing to attend and the lest week of March is very
inconvenient for me due to other activities I participate in. April is
much better (and warmer).
3) what we can improve from the last event
In terms of improvements, I so far have noted down:
* larger venue needs to be found
* complaints about the venue not having sufficient heating
Yes, being at a warm place helps a lot.
