Message-ID: Dear fellow Osmocom developers, as you all know, we've sadly had to skip OsmoDevCon 2020 and 2021, trying to compensate it at least to some extent with our OsmoDevCall every two weeks. The COVID-19 pandemic is far from over, and we don't know what the upcoming winter season will bring. Nevertheless, I think it would be a good idea to start a discussion of whether we should plan for an OsmoDevCon in 2022. I personally would say let's plan for the usual late April 2022 time frame, and if the pandemic situation deteriorates, we can still cancel it with something like one month lead time. I would also personally suggest to limit attendance to people who are fully vaccinated, and in addition do a self-test for all participants every morning. In terms of venue, we might also consider to move to a venue that allows better ventilation. Irrespective of the above we can also bring the air filters from the sysmocom office. So with that as an input statement, I would like to hear your opinion on the above proposals. Who would want to attend? Any complaints against the "vaccinated only plus daily self-tests in the morning" approach?

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hi Harald, I'm definitely for it and would attend and the usual timeframe sounds good. As for the modalities. - Vaccinated : Sure. - Self Test : Although a test before departure sounds like a good idea, I'm not really sure of the need / efficacy of a day to day test. But I also have no issue taking one if people are more comfortable that way or think it's worth it. - Venue : Obvious questions is what are the alternatives :) - Ventilation : I honestly have no idea on the efficacy of that, but if you got filters for the sysmocom office, I guess you did some research and if they are movable and not obnoxiously loud, that can't hurt. - Masks : You didn't mention it in your original email, but personally I think in this context ( low number of people, but quite extended period of time, + meals / drinks ), their efficacy would be negligible. But again, if the consensus is to wear them, I have no issues with that. This is of course just my 2ct and also for my personal situation (like for instance I know I can easily have a week "buffer" before/after the event where I'll have virtually no contacts). Looking forward to hear what others think.

I'd like to add that I find it should also be sufficient to have recovered from COVID. This is a common rule in schools in Berlin that does relieve teachers from the need to test regularly (called 2G, incidentally). Another question is whether we play by RKI rules and not accept certain vaccines. I guess we should first see whether anyone would be refused attendance based on these rules and take it from there? Here is a dudle to anonymously figure out the current vaccination status. Feel free to enter your current status, especially if you're not fully vaccinated and would like to attend. This is just to get a basis for discussion: https://dudle.inf.tu-dresden.de/w93G6NPqfA/ I guess we need to repeat such poll in early '22.
