Osmocom discourse as alternative to mailing lists

by Harald Welte

Dear Osmocom community, while many people with a long history in FOSS development have no issues at all with mailing lists as primary form of engaging with their community, they have undoubtedly fallen out of fashion in favor of various chat/messaging systems or web based forums. In Osmocom, we've just launched an installation of the discourse forum software available at https://discourse.osmocom.org/ providing an alternative to our traditional mailing lists at https://lists.osmocom.org/ We're looking forward to see whether this web-based approach will facilitate more and/or other people to engage with the Osmocom developer/contributor community. Feel free to join and get the discussions started. If there's a need for more categories or sub-categories, just let one of the moderators know and we can help with that. The old mailing lists will continue to remain available for those who prefer them. -- - Harald Welte <laforge(a)osmocom.org> https://laforge.gnumonks.org/ ============================================================================ "Privacy in residential applications is a desirable marketing option."

by Harald Welte

Dear Osmocom community, we're happy to announce the next incarnation of OsmoDevCall. when: July 17, 2023 at 20:00 CEST where: https://osmocom.org/OsmoDevCall (Big Blue Button) This time, @laforge will be presenting on Building wired test setups for mobile communications Particularly in lab and test setup involving cellular technology there is often a need for wired (coaxial) connection of cellular equipment, such as connecting a number of UEs (phones/modems) with one or multiple cellular base stations. For example, this is the only way to get defined power levels and test the actual transmit power or receive sensitivity of a device. The talk will cover how to build such test setups from parts like coaxial cabling, attenuators, RF splitter/combiners, duplexers, etc. This meeting will have the following schedule: 20:00 meet + greet 20:10 topic as outlined above 21:00 unstructured supplementary social event [*] Attendance is free of charge and open to anyone with an interest in Osmocom or open source cellular technologies. More information about OsmoDevCall, including the schedule for further upcoming events can be found at https://osmocom.org/projects/osmo-dev-con/wiki/OsmoDevCall Looking forward to meeting you soon! Best regards, Harald [*] this is how we started to call the "unstructured" part of osmocom developer conferences in the past, basically where anyone can talk about anything, no formal schedule or structure. -- - Harald Welte <laforge(a)osmocom.org> http://laforge.gnumonks.org/ ============================================================================ "Privacy in residential applications is a desirable marketing option."
