Yes, certainly for OsmoDevCon, Seville would mean

But how about the OsmoCon (assuming the decision was not to
have them back-to-back)?
Possible, but I'm not sure if Pablo was volunteering for a significantly
larger event: OsmoCon was 60 people this year, so I would expect it to
be at least that same size next year.
I imagine that would mean a LOT more logistics work
there,
maybe too much, like bringing CCC VOC for example.
Indeed.
In terms of
frequency, I would actually suggest we move to a 6-month
cycle rather than a 12-month cycle.
Are you suggesting here to as an alternative to the
back-to-back OsmoCon and OsmoDevCon,
to separate them with a six month interval? Or just to have
an OsmoCon every six months?
I'm open to all suggestions. But indeed, for OsmoDevCon I think a 6
month cycle would be great - maybe at the very least for people involvd
in those projects with lots of development activity, such as currently
Osmo{BTS,PCU,BSC,MSC,MGW,STP,GGSN,HLR}.
For OsmoCon: Annual schedule is probably sufficient. Nevetheless,
there's a lot of user-visible changes happening with the NITB-split, so
this year it would actually have made sense to do some updates.
But as (I believe) Neels suggested, we could always propose something
like a workshop / tutorial and see if people are interested in that.
Such tutorials could actually also be a "webcast" or the like, without
physcial attendance. This would remove the burden of travel and the
venue organization bits on our side.
Regards,
Harald
