Hi all,
time is moving fast, and I want to start some initial discussion and planning for OsmoDevCon 2014.
There are basically four questions which I'm raising below. Please provide your feedback to the osmocom-event-orga mailing list only, to avoid cross-posting over all the project lists.
= Who? =
My intention is to keep it an 'active developer/contributer only' event, like we had it before. I would also want to keep the group relatively small, to keep the 'Osmocom family' atmosphere.
If desired, we could have one half or full day of public prsentations in a larger auditorium, but the developer meeting should be a close group, as known so far.
= Where? =
If we keep the number of attendees within the same range as this year, then I'm sure we could again hold it at the same venue. I know it is not perfect, but it is a place that we have access to, 24 hours per day, and free of cost for community projects like osmocom.org.
If the community wants a larger event, then this is something that would require more funds and much more time organizing. And that is something that I personally could not offer to take care of, sorry. I'm happy to attend and support any larger events, but I'm unable to take care of fundraising and venue research.
= When? =
Q1/2014. In January, I'm not aware of any 'blocker' events. February, there is Fosdem (Feb 1 + Feb 2), and MWC from Feb 24 through Feb 27. In March there is CeBIT (March 10-14) and Easter holidays (with EasterHegg March 17-21). Did I miss any other FOSS / mobile event that might clash in Q1?
So my preference woudl be to do it either late January (23-26) or in February (6-9 or 13-16). Any preferences regarding preferred schedule? Once we have some concencus here on the list [and we want to do it in the same size / venue], I'll talk to IN-Berlin.
= What? =
I think that question is easy to answer, if we have the above three figured out... There's no shortage of topics, I suppose.

Dear all,
as the December 31st registration deadline has just passed, I'm happy to announce that all 17 requests for participation have been approved. We are still below the ~20 people limit of the venue.
What we now need to do is to fill the schedule with talks / discussions.
Please add your suggestions to https://openbsc.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/OsmoDevCon2014 even if it is just a topic you would like to discuss about, and not something that anyone feels compelled to hold a formal presentation about.
Looking forward to seeing you in ~ 2 months in Berlin,
Harald
