All - [If you already know about this and are planning to attend, please register. So far, there are not enough people registered to cover the cost of the workshop, and without more registrations soon, we will need to cancel this and issue refunds.] There will be a 3 & 1/2 day workshop on OpenBTS deployment and development, conducted on 23-26 June 2010 on a farm near Pfarrkirchen, Germany. This rural environment will afford participants the chance to set up, operate and "hack" multiple medium- sized outdoor BTS sites. This will be an immersive workshop, with morning, afternoon and evening sessions and most meals taken together as a group. The cost of this workshop will be 1500 EUR with a 500 EUR discount for students, faculty members and employees of non-profit organizations. This is an ALL INCLUSIVE cost. The workshop will arrange for all meals, lodging in Pfarrkirchen and ground transportation from Munich airport on 23 June and returning there on 27 June. The tentative schedule is: 23 June evening -- Introductions and welcome dinner. 24 June morning -- An overview of the OpenBTS approach and the hardware "kit". afternoon -- Installing OpenBTS sites around the farm property. evening -- Configuration #1: isolated cells and an initial tour of OpenBTS.config and the CLI. 25 June morning -- GSM/SIP mobility and PSTN connectivity. afternoon -- Configuration #2: a unified network and a closer look at OpenBTS.config, the CLI and GSM-TAP with Wireshark. evening -- SMS on Um, SIP/SIMPLE, messaging gateways and smqueue. 26 June morning -- Implementing custom short code services in smqueue. afternoon -- TBD, based on participant demand. evening -- Farewells and closing dinner. We need at least 10 people enrolled by the end of April to cover all of the costs but may not be able to accommodate more than 15.
