Possible, but I'm not sure if Pablo was volunteering for a significantly
larger event: OsmoCon was 60 people this year, so I would expect it to
be at least that same size next year.

I'm open to all suggestions. But indeed, for OsmoDevCon I think a 6
month cycle would be great - maybe at the very least for people involvd
in those projects with lots of development activity, such as currently
Osmo{BTS,PCU,BSC,MSC,MGW,STP,GGSN,HLR}.
For OsmoCon: Annual schedule is probably sufficient. Nevetheless,
there's a lot of user-visible changes happening with the NITB-split, so
this year it would actually have made sense to do some updates.
But as (I believe) Neels suggested, we could always propose something
like a workshop / tutorial and see if people are interested in that.
Such tutorials could actually also be a "webcast" or the like, without
physcial attendance. This would remove the burden of travel and the
venue organization bits on our side.
Regards,
Harald
