Dear Osmocom developer community,
we have received a couple of replicating vouchers for 36C3, please
let me know if you'd like to receive one.
AFAIK, the team operating GSM/3G networks at the event has a separate
allocation available via Lynxis.
Regards,
Harald

Dear all,
I would like to suggest April 23rd through 27th as the dates for OsmoDevCon
2020.
It's one week after Easter holidays end in Berlin and almost all other German
states, so the hotel situation should be less crowded.
Please let me know what you think about this date, especially if anyone objects
that date.
Regards,
Harald

Hi all,
as you may have seen, I've put a PGP/GPG keysigning party onto the agenda
for this OsmoDevCon. It's a great opportunity to build a local web of trust,
not only for verifying signed tags in our git repositories.
I'm not an expert in key-signing parties at all, but given the small
count of people (not sure how many are interested), I think we can do
this rather ad-hoc in the classic way with 1:1 verification and don't
have to go for optimized versions like
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zimmermann%E2%80%93Sassaman_key-signing_proto…
Based on https://wiki.debian.org/Keysigning it is recommended to print your
key fingerprint on paper using the gpg-key2ps utility and then give out
the snippets to the respective peers during the keysigning party while verifying
their ID.
If you don't have time to prepare ahead of the event: IN-Berlin has a
laser printer and I'll plan to bring a paper cutter so you can create
the snippets at any time before the key-signing party
Regards,
Harald

Dear all,
as you can see at https://pretalx.sysmocom.de/osmodevcon2019/sneak/
the number of talks / discussions / ... is still quite limited for
a four-day event.
If there's anything you'd like to talk about, or you'd like to hear
somebody else about, please don't hesitate to submit it in pretalx.
As usual, we can also schedule discussions, it's by far not only about
fully-fledged presentations.
Feel free to also suggest topics outside the classic theme of mobile
communications, if you think there's something that could be interesting
to the audience.
Regards,
Harald

Hi all,
as Dieter unfortunately is not joining us this year, my guest bed/guest
room is available during OsmoDevCon this year. So in case anyone
doesn't yet have a room, or has a room that they can still cancel free
of charge: Let me know if you're interested.
Note: My home is not near the venue, but I'll be going to the venue and back
every day anyway. It's about one hour by public transport, or probably
around 40 mins by car or combination of car + public transport
Regards,
Harald

Thank you, everyone, for the OsmoDevCon! The great atmosphere this year.
Several people wanted to buy XTRX at OsmoDevCon - if you haven't done that
yet, we recommend doing that today. We've just sent a message to
CrowdSupply to increase the prices of XTRX:
XTRX - $260
Deluxe - $515
It may take them some time to do that but I don't know how much.

Dear OsmoDevCon attendees,
this sounds a bit like a joke, but unfortunately it isn't.
At a construction site about 600m away from the OsmoDevCon venue (IN-Berlin),
an unexploded bomb from second world war was found. This bomb is going to
be defused this Friday, which is exactly the first day of OsmoDevCon.
For our international guests: This is not a very uncommon event. Even
73 years after the war, many German cities still have plenty of
unexploded bombs in the ground, which are uncovered during construction
work. It's usually not a big deal and the success ratio of defusing
them is extremely high.
However, of course, for safety reasons, police is evacuating a radius of
800m around the bomb site, which means
*we are unable to use our intended venue this Friday!*
You can find a map with the preliminary evacuation zone at:
https://www.morgenpost.de/bin/bmo-214049359.jpg
As you can see, not only is the OsmoDevCon venue at Lehrter Str. 53
affected, but also various nearby hotels, such as
* A&O Hostel
* Motel One Berlin
* Jugendgaestehaus Berlin
So if you are staying at any one of those locations, be prepared that
from Friday 9am onwards you will not be able to reach or enter those
hotels.
To make things worse, Berlin central station (Hauptbahnhof) is inside
the evacuation zone, too. It is expacted that all public transport, as
well as regional and long distance trains are halted during the
evacuation period.
We're looking for an alternative venue on Friday and will keep you
posted. If we can find one, this means we'd be at IN-Berlin only
Sat, Sun and Mon, but would be at that different venue on Friday.
German Police has announced to publish more details later today,
on which we'll also keep you posted.
Regards,
Harald
