h1. OsmoDevCon2018 

 {{>toc}} 

 This page is used to plan and coordinate regarding the Osmocom Developer Conference 2018 


 h1. Osmocom Developer Conference 2018 


 Contrary to [[OsmoCon2018]], the Osmocom Developer Conference 2018 ([[OsmoDevCon2018]]) is an event *by project members for project members*. 
 As such, the primary audience is people who have been contributing to at least one of the Osmocom projects. 

 It is *not targeted at users*. 

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


 h2. When 


 *April 20-23rd, 2018* 

 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. ("Map":https://osm.org/go/0MZvv6U8I?node=412766878) 

 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.

 Berlin still has two active airports during [[OsmoDevCon]]2018: Tegel (TXL) and Schoenefeld (SXF).    TXL is closer to the venue.

 You can take long distance trains to _Berlin Hauptbahnhof_ (main station), which is only 15mins walking (or 3 bus stops) from the venue.

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


 h3. Car 


 There is some public parking in Lehrter Str., where IN-Berlin is located, but it is quite crowded.    Parking your car might 
 not be easy. 

 h2. Accomodation 


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

 The closest low-end option in walking distance (about 7 mins) is the "A&O Hostel Berlin-Hauptbahnhof":http://www.aohostels.com/en/berlin/berlin-hauptbahnhof/. 

 A more expensive alternative within 15 minutes of walking is "Motel One Berlin-Hauptbahnhof":http://www.motel-one.com/en/hotels/berlin/hotel-berlin-hauptbahnhof/#t=hotelinfo
