[Discuss-gnuradio] FOSDEM '14 - Call for Participation

[Martin Braun (CEL)]

Dear friends and colleagues,

next year's FOSDEM (the free and open source developer's meeting in Brussels, 
Europe) will feature a new track on Software Defined Radio.
Therefore, we invite developers and users from the free software radio 
community and 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/FOSDEM14

Here, we will publish updates and the final schedule.

** Submit your presentations

To suggest a talk, go to https://penta.fosdem.org/submission/FOSDEM14 and 
follow the instructions. 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.
Typical slot lengths would be 30 Minutes including QA.

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.

We will reserve time to simply hack, it won't all be talks.

** Important Dates

FOSDEM is February 1st & 2nd 2014.

* December 1st 2013: Submission Deadline
* December 20th 2013: Speaker Notification
* January 10th 2014: Announcement of final schedule
* February 2nd 2014: SDR Track

** Steering Committee

The track committee consists of:

* Martin Braun (GNU Radio)
* Sylvain Munaut (OsmoCom)


Hope to hear of you soon!

Martin
