This page is used to plan and coordinate regarding the intended Osmocom Developer Conference 2012

Schedule Constraints

The idea is to collect the dates when everyone is '''not''' available here, to make sure we can
pick a date that's suitable to most (if not all) project members.

So I would like to request everyone to add their name and availability information to the following list:

	Name		Not available
	LaForge		4+5 Feb., 12+13 Apr
	Jolly		6 Mar., 16-24 Jun
	Sylvain		4+5 Feb, 24-30 Jun, Deepsec, 29C3

Result: Most likely date is March 23rd through 26th (friday through monday)

Venue

Unconfirmed: [https://www.c-base.org/ c-base], Berlin, Germany

The meeting / seminar / conference room at c-base is located on ground floor and has windows facing a courtyard.

It might be possible to set up some (GPS, Thuraya, etc.) antennas in that courtyard, if required

Agenda

We can collect items for some agenda at this point:

• OsmocomBB * continue the MTK port * porting of L2 or even L3 into phone * port of code into NuttX * user interface * "transactional" L1

Travel

=== Airports ===
Berlin has two active airports during OsmoDevCon 2012: Tegel (TXL) and Schoenefeld (SXF). Neither of the two
is exactly close to the venue, so pick whatever works best for you.

From SXF you can take local trains (S-Bahn), switch at Ostkreuz into another train and exit at Jannowitzbruecke.
You will need a "Berlin ABC" ticket.

From TXL, FIXME. You will need a "Berlin AB" ticket.

=== Train ===

You can take long distance trains to ''Berlin Ostbahnhof'', which is only one S-Bahn stop away from Jannowitzbruecke, where C-Base is located

=== Public Transport ===

Check http://www.bvg.de/ for maps, tariffs, etc.

=== Car ===

There is some public parking in Rungestrasse where c-base is located, but it is always very crowded. Parking your car there is thus not recommended.

Accomodation

Berlin has tons of options, from very cheap to plush and expensive. Pick your favourite.

The closest low-end option in walking distance is the A&O Hostel Berlin Mitte, which has both a hotel as well as a hostel: * Hotel: http://www.aohostels.com/en/berlin/hotel-mitte/ (from 32 EUR per person per night in single room, 18 EUR per person in two bed room) * Hostel: http://www.aohostels.com/en/berlin/hostel-mitte/hostel/info/ (from 12 EUR per night in a dorm)

There's also Hotel Alameda a few more steps from the venue: http://www.hotel-alameda-berlin.de/index.php?article_id=1&clang=1
