Dear Osmocom community,
as the pandemic continues and physical meetings are out of the question for the forseeable future, it would be a good idea to have a periodic virtual online meeting of the interested Osmocom community.
I was thinking of a format where we would serve two major purposes:
1) technical talks about osmocom relevant topics - ideally current/recent developments * can be pre-recorded to avoid any problems with technical setup, streaming, ... * should ideally have a Q+A session at their initial "airing" during one OsmoDevCall
2) unstructured solicited social event (USSE) * random chat in audio (optionally video) * not recorded, obviously
The recording of the technical presentation should then be permanently made available (like the presentations of our prior OsmoCon / OsmoDevCon).
Not every OsmoDevCall would neccessarily need the two parts, but I think it would be great if we can make that happen. We could also have e.g. a two-weekly schedule for the USSE and a monthly schedule for the technical presentation.
We'd need somebody to volunteer to "manage" the "broadcast" side of this, preferably somebody with at least some prior exposure to online events (like the c3voc).
I'm using https://osmocom.org/issues/4928 to collect a tentative list of topics. Feel free to add your ideas there, as well as any comment/ feedback you may have.
Regards, Harald

After some discussion in https://osmocom.org/issues/4928 and on IRC, I've now put together a wiki page at https://osmocom.org/projects/osmo-dev-con/wiki/OsmoDevCall
Right now there's still a chance to influence the scheduling (current proposal is Fridays 8pm to 10pm CET). If you would want to participate but think this is a really bad time, please speak up now :)
Once it is clear where we will host the call, I'd be announcing the first event, which could then be as early as Februray 26th.
I'll keep you posted.
Regards, Harald
