As far as I know me, Max and Nico are going. Since CCC Camp I'm part
of the core team that runs test networks, and I'll bring the server
that we've been using since 28c3. (It also has data from the earlier
test networks.)

I'll talk to Holger about bringing some two-digit number of new SIMs.

During 29C3 Max and I worked on backhaul integration between OpenBTS
and OpenBSC. We'd like to try to repeat the success as well as make
some improvements during EH.

Among the three of us we will bring enough hardware for a "normal"
network, some nanoBTS and some sysmoBTS units. Besides the 262 42
network it's of course fine to also do other experiments as you like.

I'm not sure if some bits are still missing for that. Personally not
interested enough to work on it, but I think it would be interesting
if someone else does.

See you there. Do you have a rough idea when you start setting up?
