+** 112 git repositories on https://git.osmocom.org/
+* most well-known typically OsmocomBB, OpenBSC + rtl-sdr
+
+== 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
