Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Google Summer of Code / ham radio

[Martin Braun]

Daniel,

that sounds pretty good! We're currently polishing our ideas list (the
current draft is at
http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/GSoCIdeas). We could
probably write up a project idea on our wiki page, and then copy it to
your ideas list, or vice versa.

Note that we didn't get accepted into GSoC last year, so I'm not sure
what our chances are. I'm sure we can find a mentor, though.

Cheers,
Martin
