 This page is used to plan and coordinate regarding the Osmocom Developer Conference 2016 


 h1. Osmocom Developer Conference 2016 


 Ths Osmocom Developer Conference 2016 ([[OsmoDevCon2016]]) is an event *by project members for project members*. 
 As such, the primary audience is people who have been contributing to the project. 

 It is *not targetted at users*. 

 Attendance requires registration (see below) and notification of acceptance.    There number of participants 
 is limited to about 20. 


 h2. When 


 *April 21 through April 24, 2016* 

 Time: We will *start at 10am* in the morning, will take *lunch break from 1pm to 3pm* and have an open 
 end at night.    We have a key to IN-Berlin to come and go as we please. 


 h2. Where 


 In the rooms of "IN-Berlin e.V.":http://www.in-berlin.de/, Lehrter Str. 53, 10557 Berlin, Germany, the Universe. 

 The meeting / seminar / conference room at IN-Berlin is located on ground floor and has windows facing east. 
 In front of those windows is a road + sidewalk which is directly in north-south direction, 
 i.e. it _may_ be possible to set up some (GPS, Thuraya, etc.) antennas on the sidewalk, if required. 
 Some kind of pole+stand is required, though. 


 h2. Format 


 The format of this workshop is not primarily formal lectures/talks.    It's more like "guided discussions", i.e. there are 
 topics and each topic will get an "owner" who should introduce the topic and lead the discussion related to it.
