Harald,
Looks like a great idea to promote open-source in telecom and recruit
more devs into the community. Not to mention all other goals. I wish
you all the best in setting up this event and I wish I lived in
Berlin. :)
I have to schedule a new run of my seminars on GSM and OpenBTS in
Moscow as well. Hopefully it will bring more attention from Russian
audience as well.

Hi all,
I was pondering to start a regular Osmocom meeting (monthly or bi-weekly)
in Berlin.
The idea would be not only to converge the existing developers in Berlin
(zecke, roh, prom, tobias, peter, kevin, myself, ...) but to also try to
share some knowledge and excitement with other interested hackers in the
wider community.
A split format for the event might make sense: Have a more or less
organized 45min talk about one particular topic + 15min discussion and
then switch to an informal meeting style without any particular topic or
moderator.
For the first half there is a long list of topics intended at informing
people about the status and capabilities of the respective projects:
OsmocomBB, OsmoTETRA, OsmoGMR, SIMtrace, etc.
Regarding the venue, I would suggest to hold it at the Berlin CCC.
What do you generally think about this?
What day of the week should we be aiming at? Tuesday and Thursday is
generally not a good idea, as those are already occupied with other
events.
If you think it's a good idea, I would request/register the event with
the CCC Berlin.
Regards,
Harald
