9 | 1 | laforge | h1. Osmocom Developer Conference 2018 |
10 | |||
11 | |||
12 | Contrary to [[OsmoCon2018]], the Osmocom Developer Conference 2018 ([[OsmoDevCon2018]]) is an event *by project members for project members*. |
||
13 | As such, the primary audience is people who have been contributing to at least one of the Osmocom projects. |
||
14 | |||
15 | It is *not targeted at users*. |
||
16 | |||
17 | 39 | neels | Attendance requires registration (see below) and notification of acceptance. The number of participants is *limited to about 20*. |

||
21 | |||
22 | |||
23 | 8 | laforge | *April 20-23rd, 2018* |
24 | 1 | laforge | |
25 | Time: We will *start at 10am* in the morning, will take *lunch break from 1pm to 3pm* and have an open |
||
26 | end at night. We have a key to IN-Berlin to come and go as we please. |

28 | h2. Where |
||
29 | |||
30 | |||
31 | 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) |
||
32 | |||
33 | The meeting / seminar / conference room at IN-Berlin is located on ground floor and has windows facing east. |
||
34 | In front of those windows is a road + sidewalk which is directly in north-south direction, |
||
35 | i.e. it _may_ be possible to set up some (GPS, Thuraya, etc.) antennas on the sidewalk, if required. |
||
36 | Some kind of pole+stand is required, though. |
||
37 | |||
38 | h2. Format |
||
39 | |||
40 | |||
41 | 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. |
