RetroNetCall¶
- Table of contents
- RetroNetCall
Initially we started to cover a couple of retronetworking topics at the OsmoDevCall, but it really made sense to run the pure retro related topics as a separate series of events. In October 2022, we forked the Retro Net working Call format from OsmoDevCall.
The format serves two major purposes:
- technical presentations about retronetworking 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 supplementary social event (USSE)
- random chat in audio (optionally video)
- not recorded, obviously
Not every RetroNetCall would necessarily need the two parts, but I think it would be great if we can make that happen.
Timing¶
Wednesday evening, 8pm CET (winter) / CEST (summer), every 1st Wednesday of the month
The next couple of events hence are:
- Wednesday, April 3rd, 2024 (interactive debugging of DIVF dialplan)
- Wednesday, May 1st, 2024
- Wednesday, June 5th, 2024
- Wednesday, July 3rd, 2024
Venue / Platform¶
We are currently using infrastructure of KNF, a German non-profit internet organization of which laforge is a member.
The URL to join the meeting is https://osmocom.org/RetroNetCall
There currently is no password or authentication, we try to welcome anyone. If this turns out to be a problem, we might lock it down in the future, let's hope that's not required.
Video Recordings of talks¶
The recording of the technical presentation are made available. The recordings can be found- at https://media.ccc.de/c/retronetcall (Video hosting platform of the Chaos Computer Club)
- via our @retronetworking@tube.tchncs.de PeerTube channel
- as file downloads in several formats at https://downloads.osmocom.org/videos/retronetcall/ (linked from table below)
