Dear friends and colleagues, 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. 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 for interactiveness, it won't all be talks. ** Important Dates FOSDEM is January 30th & 31st 2016. * December 4th 2015: Submission Deadline * December 18th 2016: Announcement of final schedule * January 31st 2016: SDR Track (Sunday) ** Steering Committee The track committee consists of: * Philipp Balllister (OpenEmbedded / OpenSDR) * Martin Braun (GNU Radio) * Sylvain Munaut (OsmoCom) Hope to hear from you soon! And please forward this announcement. Martin

Ping, quick reminder that tomorrow is our submission deadline. As usual, there will be no deadline extension, so please get your submissions in ASAP!
