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

we definitely should! Please find my input below.

Given the necessary timing advance for getting a EU entrance permit, I
think May would be fine with me.

Personally I would prefer May 3 to 6, since this time I would like to
travel together with my wife and beginning of May is usually when we
have holidays here. But May 24 to 27 would also work for me.

Either date in May would work for me.
Personally I would prefer May 3 to 6
Are talks on the second day required to have a Star Wars theme?

Both have their perks. Hotel+conference venues tend to have a dry / boring
athmosphere, and being in one place all day can be catarthic; IN-Berlin is more
chaotic=interesting and dynamic. But, definitely, having more space would be
nice -- maybe some still prefer a bit of masks and distance over a packed
IN-Berlin -- and having a coherent group in one place for the entire time can
also spark some fun...
Though, I guess Berlin based folks would sleep at home anyway.

great. There was some tendency in terms of preference for the earlier date of May 3..6
so
I'll see what I can find in terms of availability over the next week or so.

it depends of course on the venue. Ideally it would be a venue with outdoor park/garden
so people can take a walk in the breaks, or some "special interest group" can
also simply
sit outdoors, if weather permits.

I would not recommend that, as I think it is against the purpose of
bringing the whole group together continuously. I'll personally would
definitely stay on-site. But of course everyone can take their own
decisions.
