as the year 2012 has already ended or will soon end 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.

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
- 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?
- 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).
- 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.
