Dear all,
IN-Berlin has confirmed the dates in April where we could book the
venue.
Can those eligible + interested in attending please quickly indicate
their preference at http://doodle.com/poll/if263cpxieavsqiq ?
Thanks!
Disclaimer: OsmoDevCon is an invitation-only event for developers with
proven history of contributing to any of the Osmocom projects. The fact
that there is a public poll about the scheduling of the event and/or
your participation in that poll does not mean a particular applicant is
invited.
Regards,
Harald

Thanks for getting the public discussion about this started.
To give some more background to the mailing list:
* The trac installations at osmocom.org are pretty much
underused/dormant. The only part that's used is the Wiki.
* Osmocom started when a single project (OpenBSC) got a sister project
(OsmocomBB) and has grown into many projects. Running a single trac
instance for each project on a separate dns hostname is overkill.
Also, as code is shifted around between libraries and programs, we'd
appreciate some flexibility.
* at sysmocom internally we have successfully used redmine for dozens of
different projects. The project hierarchy can be changed as needed on
the fly, and issues can relate to issues of other projects, shifted
from project to project, etc.
* Quite a bit of the work we do at sysmocom on the Osmocom software
should have the issue tracker for bugs and features in the public, but
as our internal redmine is so much easier than the public trac setup,
we kept using the internal redmine.
So my plan moving forward is to migrate all Osmocom projects (initially
those related to GSM) to a public redmine, and then keep all issues
updated there. This would give more visibility into the work we're
doing, such as the EDGE PCU, the 3G NITB + SGSN, the HNB-GW, etc.

I think not importing tickets or dealing wih changing numbers is the way
to go.

If there is automatic import/conversion available, I'd prefer to import
the OsmocomBB, SIMtrace, (non-spam) Security and OpenBSC tickets, even
though most of them are probably stale and outdated for years. They're
still part of the history. Changing the numbers doesn't matter, as we
don't refer to them.

I'm not aware of any tools that might be able to help here.
Indeed, it would be great if anyone would volunteer to generate a script
to generate the redirects.
I guess the old format is e.g.
http://openbsc.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/nanoBTS/Internals
and the new URL would be something like
http://projects.osmocom.org/redmine/openbsc/wiki/nanoBTS/Internals
Or should we strip even the redmine from the URL?
And should we have a rewrite for http://openbsc.osmocom.org/redmine to
http://projects.osmocom.org/redmine/openbsc ?
Any ideas?
Regards,
Harald
