Yes, I'm looking forward to it every year :)

This seems pretty clear that those project stand out in several ways
and could probably benefit from a public event. The reasons why
OsmoDevCon is kept invitation-only mostly don't apply to theses.
I think dev presentations regarding those could also be in the "user"
even, but I'd keep workshop / discussion style events to the
invitation only part.

Definitely back-to-back, for the reasons you mentioned and I think
different venues would also make sense.
I'd also do the user part first, so that the dev part includes the weekend.

2 days seems short, especially since the last one of often just a half
day with people leaving and from experience most of the 'hands-on'
part are often done in the evening after the presentations and I'd
have to diminish the time we have for that.

That'd be the first thing to know : How many people would actually be
interested to travel and attend a 1 or 2 day event. If it's only
people from Berlin, then the usergroup would seem to be enough ?

Makes sense to keep it in Berlin IMHO.
