== Community + Collaborative Development

* Free Software is about *collaborative development*
** shared investment in R&D, while everyone can use full results
** it is *not* about a one-way producer/consumer relationship
* sustainable projects need serious committment contributions from all
  stake holders

== sysmocom - s.f.m.c. GmbH

* founded in 2011 by two core Osmocom developers
* exists to drive/support Osmocom development
* does not claim (nor want) ownership over any part of Osmocom
* organizes this event as Osmocom is no legal entity
* unfortunately is doing >= 80% of commits in Osmocom cellular
  infrastructure projects.
** Osmocom must not depend on sysmocom
** we need more commitment and contributions from all users and beneficiaries
