ETSI's Centre for Testing and Interoperability and the OSM community organised this OSM Hackfest on 9-12 March 2020. The event was supposed to be hosted by Telefonica in Madrid, Spain, co-located with the OSM mid-release 8 meeting, however due to the outbreak of the coronavirus the event was held remotely. 

IMPORTANT: The rapid outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19) in Europe and the travel restrictions already imposed by many companies impact the programme and attendance of the event planned on 09-12 March in Madrid. ETSI decided to maintain the event but it was held remotely.
