We do have a number of community discount ticket vouchers available.

Stay tuned for further schedule updates, and see you in two months at OsmoCon 2018!

one of the difficulties with OsmoCon2017 last year was that almost nobody submitted talks / discussions within the deadline, early enough to allow for proper planning.

This lead to the situation where the sysmocom team had to come up with a schedule/agenda on their own. Later on much after the CfP deadline,people then squeezed in talks, making the overall schedule too full.

It is up to you to avoid this situation again in 2018 at OsmoCon2018 by submitting your talk RIGHT NOW. We will be very strict regarding late submissions. So if you would like to shape the Agenda of OsmoCon 2018, this is your chance. Please use it.

We will have to create a schedule soon, as [almost] nobody will register to a conference unless the schedule is known. If there's not sufficient contribution in terms of CfP response from the wider community, don't complain later that 90% of the talks are from sysmocom team members and only about the Cellular Network Infrastructure topics.

You have been warned. Please make your CfP submission in time at https://pretalx.sysmocom.de/osmocon2018/cfp before the CfP deadline on 2018-05-30 23:59 (Europe/Berlin)

Thanks for your kind attention.

The deadline of the Call for Participation (CfP) to the OsmoCon2018 has been extended by two weeks.

This means you still have time until May 30, 2018 to submit your proposal and meet us in October 2018 to talk about your experience, or to share your ideas about Open Source Mobile Communications.

You can find our CfP at https://pretalx.sysmocom.de/osmocon2018/cfp

All of the video recordings made at the recent 2018 Osmocom Developer Conference (OsmoDevCon2018) have meanwhile been released.

You can find the recordings at https://media.ccc.de/b/conferences/osmocon/osmodevcon18 with a back-up at this youtube playlist

Please excuse the bad audio quality in the Welcome to OsmoDevCon 2018 talk. We didn't pay attention to the clipping and only resolved it towards the end of that talk. All other videos have proper audio quality.

Today, OsmoDevCon2018, the annual Osmocom developer meeting concluded. It featured four days of exciting talks and discussions about open source mobile communications, by developers for developers.

The final schedule containing all 41 individual presentations/discussions/workshops of the four days can be found at https://pretalx.sysmocom.de/osmodevcon2018/schedule/
