Subject: OsmoDevCon 2022 ?
Message-ID: <YYEEG5iH/7FxvHLc@nataraja>

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?

Regards,
	Harald

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.

Cheers,

    Sylvain

Agree, I consider this a must (or some sort of equivalent certificate).

I'd say at least providing a PCR/antigen test over last 24-48h is 
enough, given that I expect no much social interaction with third 
parties once OsmoDevCon starts, since we'll be most part of the day 
together. That'd be fine for me. Maybe one can be enforced during the 
first day at start of the event.


>   - Venue : Obvious questions is what are the alternatives :)

While in general I like being at IN Berlin during the conferences, it 
would be a good idea to explore other venues for this year, were we can 
have a bit more space between people and a bigger volume of ventilated 
air, maybe also with some extra place outside.

The specific rules regarding this topic can probably be 
discussed/announced a few days/weeks before the event, to take into 
account current legislation, epidemic numbers, etc. since it doesn't 
involve any kind of organization ahead.

Pau

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.

I'm also happy to help with the recording and streaming of the public talks for those not able to join on site.
sure, it would not cover all other aspects of a gathering, but provides a light way of participation.

I don't mind self-testing, particularly for "larger" venues with plenty of prolonged contacts.
they're easy to make and inexpensive, a relative small constraint if it allows to have such an event again.

Dear all,

I am pleased to announce new tagged releases for Osmocom Cellular 
Network Infrastructure components.

Find more information about the release here [1].

Osmocom "Latest" repositories in OBS [2] should already contain packages 
for the new versions.

OpenEmbedded related meta-layers such as meta-telephony usual 
stable/testing branch "201705" [3] have also been updated to build 
recipes for new versions.

Regards,
Pau
