== OsmoCon 2017 Preparation
|
|
|
|
* Planning started in October
|
|
** http://lists.osmocom.org/pipermail/openbsc/2017-October/011332.html
|
|
* Schedule planning in December, with little particiopation
|
|
** http://osmocom.org/issues/1887
|
|
* event announcement too late (Feb 01)
|
|
* travel grant funding arrived way too late (March 27)
|
|
* 14 days ahead of the event we were about to cancel
|
|
** almost no registrations until that point
|
|
* talk submissions came in way after schedule was full
|
|
|
|
== OsmoCon 2017 Experience
|
|
|
|
* venue was full, actually overbooked
|
|
* talks were good
|
|
* recordings were excellent
|
|
* strong sysmocom presence, but some diversity
|
|
** Fairwaves, Facebook, On-Waves, Rhizomatica
|
|
|
|
|
|
== OsmoCon 2017 Feedback
|
|
|
|
Attendees informed us
|
|
|
|
* one day is too short
|
|
* very uni-directional, not much interaction
|
|
* schedule too full
|
|
** consequence of talk submissions too late
|
|
** consequence of only one day
|
|
|
|
== OsmoCon 2017 Retrospective
|
|
|
|
* I didn't like the venue too much
|
|
** hard to get air into the room
|
|
** to crowded with no separate room during breaks
|
|
** non-functional WiFi
|
|
** no-frills, 1990ies FOSS community feeling may not appeal to everyone
|
|
* OsmoCon + OsmoDevCon back-to-back
|
|
** is lots of stress
|
|
** leaves no time to meet up with OsmoCon attendees one day aftewards
|
|
** caused OsmoDevCon to be one day shorter
|
|
|
|
== OsmoCon 2017 Changes
|
|
|
|
* larger venue
|
|
* not a youth hostel but a real hotel
|
|
* two days instead of one
|
|
* not together with OsmoDevCon but 6 months later
|
|
* early-biard pricing should make people order tickets sooner
|
|
* formal CfP process with submission deadline, ...
