Dear Osmocom Community,
[please respect the Reply-To and post all follow-up discussion to this to openbsc@lists.osmocom.org, so we avoid having long threads cross-posted to several mailing lists.]
Like every year in early December, it is time to discuss as schedule for OsmoDevCon in the upcoming year.
Note: Ths is about OsmoDevCon, the more private meeting of developers, *NOT* about OsmoCon, the public conference.
== When, Who, Where ==
I propose the following date for OsmoDevCon 2018: April 20 - April 23rd, 2018
* Who: Active developers/contributors of Osmocom projects (as usual) * Where: IN-Berlin, Berlin (as usual)
Please let me know ASAP if that proposed date works for everyone who'd want to attend. We can still change it now, but I would want to nail down the date pretty soon.
== Format ==
After the experiment of reducing from 4 to 3 days last year (due to OsmoCon), we will again go for *four days* in 2018.
However, we should clearly divide the days in a way that e.g. "GSM/3G" topics are on two days, while SDR+Other topics are on the other days, so people not interested in some topics can skip one or two days, as needed.
We could even divide it further like: * 1 day 3GPP RAN (osmo-bts, osmo-bsc, osmo-pcu, virt_phy, fake_trx, ...) * 1 day 3GPP CN (osmo-msc, osmo-hlr, osmo-sip-connector, nextepc, etc.) * 2 days misc
Regards, and looking forward to meeting you [again] in 2018, Harald

despite Holger indicating April would be difficult for him, I would still suggest to stay with the current proposed date: * nobody else has raised any concerns * several people have sent positive feedback * it's the usual time-frame as in previous years * IN-Berlin has already reserved that time slot without any conflict
Sorry, Holger, I hope you will still be around as much as possible!
Threfore, I hereby invite everyone interested to attend to register themselves in the usual fashion at https://osmocom.org/projects/osmo-dev-con/wiki/OsmoDevCon2018 i.e. by adding your name to the 'Requested' section.
Please also start collecting topics on that same wiki page.
And please do let me know if there is anything we can do to make the event better.
Regards, Harald

Let's collect the suggested topics. I've added a "Thread" column to https://osmocom.org/projects/osmo-dev-con/wiki/OsmoDevCon2018/edit?section=9 so we can see how many days / half-days we need for which thread.
Regards, and looking forward to meeting you [again] in 2018,
