Dear friends and fans of software defined radio, the SDR track at next year's FOSDEM still has some slots left! We already have a good mix of topics, but we still have some time for YOUR presentation! If you have anything related to field of free software radio, please head to: https://penta.fosdem.org/submission/FOSDEM17 and submit your short abstract! We're looking very much forward to your submission. For the committee, Martin Braun On 10/18/2016 03:27 PM, Martin Braun wrote:
Dear friends and fans of software defined radio,
next year's FOSDEM (the free and open source developer's meeting in Brussels, Europe) will, once again, feature a track on Software Defined Radio. Therefore, we invite developers and users from the free software radio community to join us for this track and present your talks or demos.
Software Radio has become an important tool to allow anyone access the EM spectrum. Using free software radio libraries and applications and cheap hardware, anyone can now start hacking on wireless communications, remote sensing, radar or other applications. At FOSDEM, we hope to network all these projects and improve collaboration, bring new ideas forward and get more people involved.
The track's web site resides at: http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/FOSDEM
Here, we will publish updates and announcements. The final schedule will be available through Pentabarf and the official FOSDEM website.
** Submit your presentations
To suggest a talk, go to https://penta.fosdem.org/submission/FOSDEM16 and follow the instructions (you need an account, but can use your account from last year if you have one). You need to create an 'Event'; make sure it's in the Software Defined Radio track! Lengths aren't fixed, but give a realistic estimate and please don't exceed 30 minutes unless you have something special planned (in that case, contact one of us). Also, don't forget to include time for Q&A.
You aren't limited to slide presentations, of course. Be creative. However, FOSDEM is an open source conference, therefore we ask you to stay clear of marketing presentations. Of course, we like nitty-gritty technical stuff.
Here's a list of topics that will most likely be included: - SDR Frameworks + Tools - Wireless security - Radio hardware - Telecommunications - Random fun wireless hacks
We will reserve time for interactiveness, it won't all be talks.
** Important Dates
FOSDEM is February 4th and 5th, 2017.
* December 9th 2016: Submission Deadline * January 2nd 2017: Announcement of final schedule * February 4th 2017: SDR Track (Saturday)
These dates are not set in stone. However, the least years we were always full to the brim with presentations, so if you want to present, please make sure to submit your abstracts soon!
** Steering Committee
The track committee consists of: * Phil "catvideos" Balister (OpenEmbedded / OpenSDR) * Martin "mbr0wn" Braun (GNU Radio) * Sylvain "tnt" Munaut (OsmoCom)
Hope to hear from you soon! And please forward this announcement.
Martin
