h1. OsmoDevCall
As [[OsmoDevCon]] could not be hosted in 2020 due to the Corona virus outbreak, and it seems it is unlikely we will be able to host one in 2021 either, we are announcing a new *Osmo* com *Dev* eloper *Call* is a new format of online meetings within the Osmocom community (originally discussed in #4928).
The formant serves two major purposes:
# technical presentations about osmocom relevant topics - ideally current/recent developments
#* can be pre-recorded to avoid any problems with technical setup, streaming, ...
#*should ideally have a Q+A session at their initial "airing" during one OsmoDevCall
# unstructured solicited social event (USSE)
#* random chat in audio (optionally video)
#* not recorded, obviously
The recording of the technical presentation should then be permanently made available (like the presentations of our prior [[OsmoCon]] / [[OsmoDevCon]]).
Not every OsmoDevCall would neccessarily need the two parts, but I think it would be great if we can make that happen. We could also have e.g. a two-weekly schedule for the USSE and a monthly schedule for the technical presentation.
We'd need somebody to volunteer to "manage" the "broadcast" side of this, preferably somebody with at least some prior exposure to online events (like the c3voc).
h2. Timing
Currently we are considering timing over the weekend Fri/Sat/Sun to ensure participation from those working on/with Osmocom in their spare time.
Right now, Friday evening (e.g. 8pm CET) looks like a likely candidate.
h2. Venue / Platform
Not confirmed yet, but we are currently asking "KNF":https://franken.de/ if we can use their BBB infrastructure for hosting the event.
In Emergencies, we can also try a Jitsi meet instance operated by sysmocom, but the number of participants we expect for OsmoDevCall likely exceeds its capacity.
