Hi,

This would definitely be awesome :)


> * City:

I think Berlin is a good place. If I'm not mistaken, there is already
a fair number of active developers locally in Berlin. And others from
Germany in general and I'd guess travel to/from the capital should be
easy. I know that travel for me to/from Berlin is also relatively
cheap as long as it's not booked too late.

Do you by anychance know if any of these location have walking
distance cheap hotels ? (sorry don't know Berlin at all except for
Alexanderplatz ...)


> * Date:

I know dealing with everyone requirements is a bit tricky, I can
personally free myself pretty much any time given sufficient notice
(except for conferences I'm already planning to attend see below)

Maybe listing the dates to avoid would give a clearer picture. I don't
attend a lot of conferences so I don't know all their dates. The one
I'm planning to attend so far are Fosdem, Google IO2012, Deepsec 2012,
29c3. What others to consider ?

Doesn't sound like an issue for me.
I can take care of my travel/accommodation costs and participate in
any shared cost (venue/misc/...).
And if someone can't support the cost, deal with that on a case by case basis ?


Maybe starting a Wiki page with the data (people planning to attend /
dates to avoid ) ... The openbsc wiki I guess ?


Cheers,
