Dear Osmocom community,
I would like to point out that at sysmocom, we're currently (again)
hiring [1]. If you happen to have an interest in open source cellular
communications and are fluent in C language development, we would
love to hear from you.
sysmocom probably doesn't need any introduction here, but just in case:
The company was founded by Holger Freyther and Harald Welte, two of the
leading OpenBSC and Osmocom developers from the very early days of the
project. Today we are responsible for by far the largest number of commits
to the Osmocom GSM/3G infrastructure related git repositories.
Among our current priorities are automatic testing for the GPRS PCU,
generalization of the OsmoMGW media gateway, support for load-based hand-over,
inter-BSC hand-over as well as various improvements on the lower layers
of the GPRS protocol stack.
We're very dedicated to the cause in furthering the capabilities of
open source cellular infrastructure from 2G to 4G. We believe in
working upstream, no open core or dual licensing.
If you have an interest working with an enthusiastic, strong technical
and dedicated team of Osmocom hackers, please don't hesitate to let me know,
best by e-mail to jobs(a)sysmocom.de
Thanks,
Harald
p.s.: I hope this kind of message is not disturbing to anyone. I think
it is important to the Osmocom project to have more paid people working
on the stack, so it is justified. The positions we are seeking to fill
will work [almost exclusively] on Osmocom, so it's not a random job ad
but in the very interest of Osmocom, and hence on-topic for this list.

Hi all,
the Osmocom Conference 2017 last week was an overwhelming success. We
received lots of positive feedback from all sides. Thanks to all the
speakers, to the attendees as well as to the anonymous sponsor of the
travel grant funds.
It is my great pleasure that due to the great support by C3VOC (The CCC
Video Operation Center), we have full recordings of all talks given at
OsmoCon 2017.
You can find the videos on the C3VOC site at
https://media.ccc.de/search/?q=osmocon
They are also linked individually from the OsmoCon 2017 homepage at
https://osmocom.org/projects/osmo-dev-con/wiki/OsmoCon2017
I hope the video recordings will be of help for everyone who could not
make it to the event in person.
We will also be collecting the slides and put them up on the wiki during
the next few days.
Please don't hesitate to raise any feedback and/or questions.
Technical feedback/questions regarding Osmocom software / projects
should be addressed to the appropriate mailing lists, such as
openbsc(a)lists.osmocom.org.
Feedback to the organizers should be sent to osmocon2017(a)sysmocom.de.
Looking forward to the next OsmoCon, which we'll expect to be spanning
ore than just a single day.
Regards,
Harald

OsmoCon 2017 updates
There are some updates related to OsmoCon2017, the first Osmocom
Conference, held on April 21st, 2017 in Berlin, Germany.
See http://osmocom.org/news/68 for the web version of this announcement.
== Summary ==
Summary (for those too busy to read the full post):
* Schedule of talks has been released
http://osmocom.org/projects/osmo-dev-con/wiki/OsmoCon2017#Schedule
* Travel Grants available for participants who are otherwise unable to
travel to Berlin: http://osmocom.org/projects/osmo-dev-con/wiki/OsmoCon2017_TravelGrants

== Details ==
=== Schedule has been released ===
The list of talks with their abstracts has been on the website for quite
some time, but now we actually have put together a schedule based on
those talks.
Please see
http://osmocom.org/projects/osmo-dev-con/wiki/OsmoCon2017#Schedule
for the schedule.
As you can see, the day is fully packed with talks about Osmocom
cellular infrastructure projects. We had to cut some talk slots short
(30min instead of 45min), but I'm confident that it is good to cover a
wider range of topics, while at the same time avoiding fragmenting the
audience with multiple tracks.
=== Travel Grants ===
We are happy to announce that we have received donations to permit for
providing travel grants!
This means that any attendee who is otherwise not able to cover their
travel to OsmoCon 2017 (e.g. because their interest in Osmocom is not
related to their work, or because their employer doesn't pay the travel
expenses) can now apply for such a travel grant.
For more details see
http://osmocom.org/projects/osmo-dev-con/wiki/OsmoCon2017_TravelGrants
and/or constact osmocon2017(a)sysmocom.de.
=== Social Event ===
Tech Talks are nice and fine, but what many people enjoy even more at
conferences is the informal networking combined with good food. For
this, we have the social event at night, which is open to all attendees.
See more details about it at
http://osmocom.org/projects/osmo-dev-con/wiki/OsmoCon2017_SocialEvent

Dear all,
not everyone might have seen the news item that was posted in late
December on our website at http://osmocom.org/news/62
I'm looking forward to receiving your proposal on how you would
contribute to the Osmocom project if you were to receive one of those
free 3.5G femtocells.
Quote of the news item below:
------
So please excuse me to cross-post this over several Osmocom project
mailing lists. I know that a number of people have either hacked on
femtocells in the past, or at least expressed interest in doing so...
Osmocom's support for 2G/GSM is mature and widespread. Since 2016, we're
taking on the next level: 3G/3.5G. The key to running your own 3G
network is to obtain actual 3G cell hardware -- here is an exciting
opportunity to get started:
No less than 50 femtocells will be given away for free by sysmocom, one
of the main drivers of the Osmocom project. To receive a free 3G
femtocell, tell us how you will help the Osmocom project drive 3.5G
forward if you had one, before the end of January 2017. This marks the
launch of the 3.5G Acceleration Project, backed by the Osmocom
community. Join us!
Find further details on the 3.5G Acceleration Project and receiving your
own 3G femtocell for free at https://sysmocom.de/downloads/accelerate_3g5_cfp.pdf.

Best regards and happy hacking,
Harald Welte

Hi,
as discussed at OsmoDevCon and the mails from last week. The following list of projects have moved to use gerrit for codereview:
* libosmocore.git
* libosmo-abis.git
* libosmo-netif.git
* libosmo-sccp.git
* libsmpp34.git
* openbsc.git
* osmo-bts.git
* osmo-iuh.git
* osmo-pcu.git
* cellmgr-ng.git
* osmo-sip-connector.git
I have created this[1] page with the minimum to set-up gerrit as git-remote, register, configure the account and then hopefully the most frequently used comments.
kind regards
holger
