== 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.

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
