New subject: [Openbts-discuss] [Fwd: [FOSDEM] News : Call For Participation]

13 Oct 2009

For info:

Ok, I called the IBPT and I got the procedure to follow to request frequencies.

The 900 MHz is entirely allocated to commercial operators but in the
1800 spectrum there are possibilities to get experimental licenses for
a small fee so I'm filling up the paper work ASAP.

For OpenBTS to work in the 1800 band we may need more stable clock
source (which I don't have yet).
For OpenBSC, I have a 1800 nanoBTS.

 FOSDEM [1], the most developer-oriented Free and Opensource conference in
 Europe, is taking place in Brussels, Belgium [2] on *Saturday 6 and Sunday 7
 February 2010*. Apart from having many invited speakers, the conference
 offers developer rooms, stands and lightning talks to projects from the Free
 and Opensource community. This results in a staggering number of 250+
 lectures!

 We hereby welcome proposals from speakers and projects to talk in a main
 track, man a stand, or hold a lightning talk. /Information on developer
 rooms
 will become available later, as we are slightly reworking the concept/. 
 In relation to that, I'm trying to get an experimental license from the IBPT to
 operate on the GSM spectrum during the conference. I didn't find much in the
 legislation about this kind of licence in Belgium, but I must call
 back the guy tomorrow ...

 I didn't take any contact with the fosdem yet to have a spot or
 anything, I wanted to
 hear back from the ibpt first.

 If other people are motivated, there is definitely something to do there.
 I have equipment to run both OpenBTS and OpenBSC and I'm located in Belgium,
 so I'll definitely be there.
