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.
It would be great to have a user part at OsmoDevCon and having them
back to back is the best option IMHO - exactly for the reasons above.
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?
Not sure why public developer part can't be a part of the public user
part? Lets just find a good name for it which doesn't contain word
"user". :)
