h1. OsmoDevCon2017 

 {{>toc}} 

 This page is used to plan and coordinate regarding the Osmocom Developer Conference 2017 


 h1. Osmocom Developer Conference 2017 


 Contrary to [[OsmoCon2017]], the Osmocom Developer Conference 2017 ([[OsmoDevCon2017]]) 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 22 through April 24, 2017* 

 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.

 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.

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

 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/.
