Hi all!
[cross-post to make sure everyone knows about it, please follow-up-to
the osmodevcon(a)lists.osmocom.org mailing list for further discussion]
As I mentioned several times at different occasions, I really think we
should put together a OsmoDevCon again. In case you don't know what that
is, please see https://osmocom.org/projects/osmo-dev-con/wiki/OsmoDevCon
We should have restarted already in 2023, but I really was too busy and
it was a somewhat difficult year for me at times, sorry.
Date
----
In terms of timing, I am thinking about "after April but before the main
summer holiday season (June-August)". That leaves May.
Given that May has the whitsunday weekend as well as GPN
(Gulaschprogrammiernacht, a CCC event that will likely conflict
of interest with some people interested at attending OsmoDevCon), I'm
currently considering the following candidate dates:
* May 3 to 6
* May 24 to 27
This is as usual a friday-to-monday timeframe, allowing people who don't
work professionally on osmocom to attend just the two weekendd days,
while others can attend the full 4 days.
Venue
-----
In terms of venue, I'm hoping we can move to a slightly different
arrangement where the whole group stays together for the whole duration
of the event - as opposed to everyone staying at different hotels and
having to commute from hotel to venue and back every day. So something
like a hotel with a sufficiently large meeting room, hotels and catering
all day. And all of that ideally at a nice venue with some kind of park /
outdoor area, not downtown at the city center. Yes, that will obviously
come at a higher price tag than we're used to - but I'm confident we can
get that covered between sponsors and sysmocom.
Do you guys think this is a good idea? Or would you prefer the
traditional ad-hoc approach at IN-Berlin?
Regards,
Harald
