Setting up OSMC 2023

Of course, our day started by transforming the venue into a unique OSMC universe. Big thanks to Lukas and Markus, who made the location once again a very special one! We hope, you like it as much as we do!

 

The Workshops

At 10 AM, the excitement was high as our workshops finally began. Our trainer started their training classes on the topics “Understanding Git & GitLab”, “Extending Icinga Web”, and “Monitoring with Telegraf and Influx”.

 

Waiting for our Guests…

At 3 PM, Lukas and I have opened the check-in counter. We have been waiting for 250 attendees to check in. It has been a pleasure to finally welcome our guests here in Nuremberg!

 

The Welcome Dinner

After many people have already checked-in, the first ones gathered at the Welcome Dinner. A fantastic opportunity to have initial conversations with the community and to reconnect.

 

We’re now wishing our guests a wonderful rest of the first OSMC evening. Enjoy the dinner to the fullest and see us tomorrow at 9:15 AM at the Welcome Session in room Jacobi!
