||
6 | |||
7 | Ths Osmocom Developer Conference 2014 ([wiki:OsmoDevCon2014]) is an event '''by project members for project members'''. |
||
8 | As such, the primary audience is people who have been contributing to the project. |
||
9 | |||
10 | It is '''not targetted at users'''. |
||
11 | |||
12 | Attendance requires registration (see below) and notification of acceptance. There number of participants |
||
13 | is limited to about 20. |
||
14 | |||
15 | == When == |
||
16 | |||
17 | '''The date has not been settled yet, at some point in Q1/2014'''. We'll likely again do Thursday through Sunday, |
||
18 | to ensure people with regular day jobs don't have to take off four but only two days. |
||
19 | |||
20 | Time: We will '''start at 10am''' in the morning, will take '''lunch break from 1pm to 3pm''' and have an open |
||
21 | end at night. We have a key to IN-Berlin to come and go as we please. |
||
22 | |||
23 | == Where == |
||
24 | |||
25 | In the rooms of [http://www.in-berlin.de/ IN-Berlin e.V.], Lehrter Str. 53, 10557 Berlin, Germany, the Universe. |
||
26 | |||
27 | The meeting / seminar / conference room at IN-Berlin is located on ground floor and has windows facing east. |
||
28 | In front of those windows is a road + sidewalk which is directly in north-south direction, |
||
29 | i.e. it ''may'' be possible to set up some (GPS, Thuraya, etc.) antennas on the sidewalk, if required. |
||
30 | Some kind of pole+stand is required, though. |
||
31 | |||
32 | == Format == |
||
33 | |||
34 | The format of this workshop is not formal lectures/talks. It's more like "guided discussions", i.e. there are |
||
35 | topics and each topic will get an "owner" who should introduce the topic and lead the discussion related to it. |
||
36 | |||

60 | |||
61 | IN-Berlin has a fridge with a selection of cold beverages (lemonades, club mate, water, beers) available to be purchased |

||
68 | |||
69 | === Dinner === |
||
70 | |||
71 | Last year there were some complaints that dinner was not organized. Even if there is no sponsoring, it would have been useful to |

||
76 | |||

||
94 | |||
