== Welcome

* 2018 marks the 7th incarnation of OsmoDevCon
* Great to see all of you (again)
* Great to see some new faces, too!

== OsmoDevCon

[role="incremental"]
* by developers for developers
* as technical as it gets
* at least as much about the people involved than the topics
* feel free to present things beyond classic Osmocom
* any reasonably advanced technical topic is welcome
* ... as far as time permits

== Venue

* Three rooms that we can use
** main room
** the _rear room_ (this year with table)
** the _PC room_ in the back
* two washrooms/toilets
** use load-balancing algorithm
* basement kitchen
** we'll put up foot catering there

== Beverages / Coffee / Tea

Help yourself with:

* our own [filter] coffee + milk to use with the existing machine

* Ethernet switches available around venue, just plug in + DHCP
** don't cause Ethernet loops (no STP!)

== Important Rules

** instead, use dishwasher in the bathroom at the far back of the venue
* be excellent to each other

== Changes from 2017

criticism from last year:

* need more time for hacking / chat
