Dear fellow Osmocom developers,
more than a month later and the world is a completely different place once again.
Given that the number of daily infections and deaths are again rising in Germany, I am rather happy that we didn't settle for a spring date in / around our usual April time frame.

I have started a poll at https://dudle.inf.tu-dresden.de/TrmQAhYOWA/ in order to understand whether there's a preference for a specific month, and I'd like to invite everyone to state their preference in this poll (can also be done anonymously).
the poll has shown a clear preference for September. So if we are to hold an OsmoDevCon this year, it will definitely be in September.
The venue and format can of course also still be discussed. I would think that having everyone in the same hotel would reduce the amount of contacts, as not every participant meets different hotel staff, has to commute through a city spending time with hundreds of other different people every day in public transport or the like. This might of course increase cost, but I'm sure we can find a solution for that.
I haven't really seen much feedback on that topic. I still like that idea, and the limited feedback I've seen was positive / neutral, so I think I'll continue to explore in that direction.
Regards, Harald
