Dear Osmocom community,
OsmoDevCall used to be rather successful for quite some time in recent years, but recently has been suffering quite a bit due to insufficient people volunteering to present. Big thanks to all who did! Interestingly, there's no shortage of ideas of topics at https://osmocom.org/projects/osmo-dev-con/wiki/OsmoDevCall - but then many of the potential speakers did not have the interest or time to follow-up.
Most recently, the last few instances have not been taking place due to a lack of volunteers during my holidays.
Last, but not least, while during COVID lockdown winter "friday night 8pm" was a good idea, this of course is more difficult during the summer, when people are more likely want to go out the weekend.
So, to summarize, let me ask some questions:
* would you be interested in OsmoDevCall continuing?
* which day/time/timezone would you prefer ?
* would you be able and willing to volunteer to give at talk within the next 3 or so months?
Any other suggestions for or around OsmoDevCall are of course also welcome.
Thanks in advance, Harald
Dear all,
I was one proposing to give a speak (about HF-based telecom) and participate, but 8pm in Germany is too late for me (I'm in UTC +3). So indeed, it never happened for me to be able to join. But if the event could happen in "working hours" in Germany, it would work for me.
Cheers, Rafael

Understandable, but I guess then if we shift to 'working hours' it would preclude anyone with normal working living in Europe. Not everyone is working on Osmocom in their dayjob...
What we could always do for people in very different time zones is to pre-record a talk. Or have some one-time "special event" with a deviating schedule.
For sure I would love to see your talk eventually!
Right. But I guess late night also precludes anyone with a normal family with kids living in Europe. I support the idea of deviating schedules for OsmoDevCall, but not pre-recording, as then it is not a Call anymore.
