7 | h1. Osmocom Developer Conference 2024 |
||
8 | |||
9 | 20 | laforge | Contrary to [[OsmoCon]], the Osmocom Developer Conference 2024 ([[OsmoDevCon2024]]) is an event *by contributors for contributors*. |
10 | 1 | laforge | As such, the primary audience is people who have been contributing to at least one of the Osmocom projects. |
11 | |||
12 | It is *not targeted at users*. |
||
13 | |||
14 | Attendance requires registration (see below) and notification of acceptance. The number of participants is *limited to about 25*. |
||
15 | |||
16 | h2. When |
||
17 | |||
18 | |||
19 | *May 3rd-6th, 2024* |
||
20 | |||
21 | 2 | laforge | Time: We will *start at 10am* in the morning, will take *lunch break around 1pm*, a *dinner break around 8pm* and have an open end at night. |

24 | 1 | laforge | h2. Where |
25 | |||
26 | 2 | laforge | Contrary to our past OsmoDevCons (which have all been rather _low budget, grass roots_ events), @laforge felt that particularly after the long COVID-related break, it would be nice to do something slightly more fancy: Stay together with the entire group for four days, in a conference hotel. |
27 | 1 | laforge | |
28 | 2 | laforge | The selected venue is "Van der Valk Hotel Berlin Brandenburg":https://berlin.vandervalk.de/ which is actually not in Berlin, but slightly south of Berlin, very near the BER airport. The street address is _Eschenweg 18, 15827 Blankenfelde, GERMANY_ |
29 | 1 | laforge | |
30 | 2 | laforge | We will have a 120 square metre meeting room for our meetings. The conference/event hotel has many amenities including a garden as well as spa/sauna, indoor swimming pool, bar, etc. |

32 | 2 | laforge | |
33 | |||
34 | |||
35 | 1 | laforge | h2. Format |
36 | |||
37 | 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. |
||
38 | |||
39 | 2 | laforge | h2. Registration / Who |
40 | 1 | laforge | |
41 | 41 | laforge | If you would like to attend, please add your name to the below _Requested_ list ASAP, *no later than March 7th, 2024*. We will review your request and move you to the _Confirmed_ list if you are eligible. |
42 | 1 | laforge | |
43 | 45 | laforge | sysmocom is taking care of all room reservations if you're listed below, irrespective on whether you pay for the room yourself or have your room sponsored. *You do not need to make a room reservation yourself*. |

140 | h3. Airports |
||
141 | |||
142 | 2 | laforge | Berlin only has one active airport during [[OsmoDevCon2024]]: Berlin Brandenburg International (BER). It is best to take a cab for the ride to the hotel, as public transport doesn't have a decent connection without changing multiple times. |
