oemof developer meeting November 2022

We finally opened registration for the omof developer meeting 2022. As suggested last year’s dev meeting, it will take place at Magdeburg University from the 09th to the 11th of November. One focus will definitely be on the next release of solph, but the agenda is kept flexible to meet the demands of the participants and will continuously developed at https://github.com/oemof/oemof/wiki/Meeting-2022.11.

Developer meetings are no closed shop but a great opportunity for a first contact for those who are considering to collaborate. In fact, it’s rather common that people join a developer before actively contributing. With this regard, the upcoming meeting is a particular good opportunity as there are a couple of freshly developed features also new to long-term developers.

To register, please send an email to meetings@oemof.org or post a comment at https://github.com/oemof/oemof/issues/100.

Thank you for joining the oemof spring meeting 2022

We want to thank all participants of this year’s oemof spring meeting. It’s always a joy to have a few days reserved for concentrated discussions around the things you create and investigate using oemof. Some of you already provided their slides, these are now available in the collection of oemof publications.

Presentation held at the first afternoon of the meeting which took place in the meeting hall of the meeting hall of the Danish minority living in Flensburg.

This year’s spring meeting wasn’t only the biggest in-person meeting but also probably the most international one. It was located almost in sight of the Danish/German border. Some of the almost 40 participants arrived from Italy and Spain just for the meeting. Not to speak about contributions from people who stay in Germany for longer. This confirmed us in our decision to also keep the organisation of the oemof association in English. (Side node: It was in the middle of the association’s general assembly that we realised that the about ten persons joining that particular session were able to understand German.)

Special thanks also go to Simon and Uwe for the organisation, and to the Department Energy and Environmental Management for hosting the meeting at the Europa Universität Flensburg.

2021-12: dev meeting retrospective

This years developer meeting was a hybrid format with a local and a virtual participation possibility. On the first day, the founding meeting of omoef the association was held. In addition, the statutes were voted and a board was elected. We are happy to announce that Patrik Schönfeldt, Caroline Möller and Johannes Röder represent the association and congratulate them warmly. This year we can’t provide presentations since it was a 100 % hands-on meeting. The next meeting is expected to take place in Flensburg on May 18-20. It should have a focus on application and feature development. The next winter meeting will take place from November 9-11 in Magdeburg. There the focus will be again on Maintainance and Developing.

oemof developer meeting December 2021

Dear oemof community

We would like to announce the next oemof developer meeting from 1st to 3rd of December in Bremen according to the motto “Join-the-devs”.

You are using the oemof packages and you are missing something?!

You would like to contribute but don’t know how?!

Next dev meeting, you will have the opportunity to get involved into the oemof development and learn how to add features, fix bugs, and improve the documentation.

open_plan stakeholder workshop (in German) — release of the first version of the open_plan tool

As part of the open_plan research project, we invite you to the third stakeholder workshop and look forward to presenting version 1.0 of the open_plan tool. If you are interested you can register here. The workshop will take place on 20.10.2021 from 10–13:00 online. Workshop language is German.

In the open_plan project we are going to develop a user interface to build an energy system with oemof. During the development process, we focused on user-friendliness, which is a key requirement of our partners. In this context, we also would like to get feedback from the oemof community on our results and release the tool for first use.

We would like to point out that the open_plan tool is still under development. Nevertheless, we would like to release the tool with its current development status for initial use so that we can incorporate your feedback into the further development of the tool at an early stage. With this approach, we ensure that the requirements of our partners for the open_plan tool are met in the best possible way.

We look forward to a constructive exchange!

2021-05 user meeting: retrospective

"Group photo" mosaic of individual photos

In 2021 the third oemof meeting was held… online. Again 🙁 But we broke two records this meeting! First: 51 participants joined the sessions this meeting. Second record: This meeting was set up within 1 1/2 weeks (phew). Our speed-‘dating’ presentations included 11 upcoming projects and models from our community. Our this years social event contained Powerpoint-Karaoke where the future strategy of oemof was presented. Including: CryptoKitties, the generic formula for PROFIT! and our first oemof space project proposal! To have a peek on those, contact us 😉
