<DISCLAIMER> Please follow-up to openbsc(a)lists.osmocom.org </DISCLAIMER> Hi all, this idea has been around for quite some time, and for 2012 I really want to turn it into reality: I'd like to have a Osmocom developer workshop The idea here is to get all the active contributors of the project together for a couple of days (maybe 2-4 days), in order to exchange ideas, get to know each other better and last but not least work together on ironing out some of the more difficult issues. * City: Regarding the location: I think for me it is only possible to organize it if it is to be held in Berlin. I'mn happy if somebody else wants to host it at some other location, but then that person would also have to take care of local organization. Berlin also has good train and flight connections, which is definitely a plus. * Venue: If it is in Berlin, we might consider talking with c-base or Raumfahrtagentur as possible venues. * Date: Regarding a proposed date, I'm completely open for suggestions. Of course there shouldn't be any overlap with other major FOSS or Sescurity related conferences, and it should also not coincide with major public holidays, as that only makes travel + accomodation more expensive. * Funding: As we don't have that many commercial users of Osmocom projects, getting funding for e.g. travel / accomodation is probably going to be difficult. We can ask the "usual suspects" among those commercial users we know,, but I guess it will only be possible in exceptional cases to provide that kind of funding. Any ideas / comments / feedback is much appreciated. If somebody has a particular suggestion. <DISCLAIMER> Please follow-up to openbsc(a)lists.osmocom.org </DISCLAIMER> Cheers, Harald -- - Harald Welte &lt;laforge(a)gnumonks.org&gt; http://laforge.gnumonks.org/ ============================================================================ "Privacy in residential applications is a desirable marketing option."
