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*. |

31 | 1 | laforge | |
32 | 52 | laforge | As our regular venue IN-Berlin is inside an "evacuation area for a bomb defusing on Friday by German police":https://twitter.com/polizeiberlin/status/986504518589407232, we're at an alternative venue *only on Friday* |
33 | |||
34 | "CCC Berlin e.V.":https://berlin.ccc.de/, Marienstr. 11, 10117 Berlin, GERMANY. |
||
35 | |||
36 | The local and regional train station "Friedrichstr" is very close to the event venue. A variety of trains, S-Bahn as well as U-Bahn (underground) are interconnecting at Friedrichstr. |
||
37 | |||
38 | Please note *you must use the exit "Schiffbauerdamm"*, which you can reach exclusively from the western end of the top-most rail tracks of S3/S5/S7/S9, as *it is the only exit that gets you to the northern shore of the river Spree*. _All other exits of the station will not get you where you need to be!_. |
||
39 | |||
40 | h3. Saturday, Sunday, Monday |
||
41 | |||
42 | 1 | laforge | 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) |
43 | |||
44 | 52 | laforge | 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. |
45 | 1 | laforge | |
46 | h2. Format |
||
47 | |||
48 | |||
49 | 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. |
