The Opening Up of GSM and blogs.
by Andrew Back 31 Oct '10

31 Oct '10

Hello, I just posted an entry to the OSHUG blog at DesignSpark that may be of interest: http://www.designspark.com/content/opening-gsm Why at DesignSpark and not at blog.oshug.org? Well, we can have the latter also if folks think that this would be a good idea and/or would like to contribute. And if anyone wants to contribute to the DS blog they are welcome to and can e-mail me off-list. The rationale for posting to DesignSpark was that this appears to be growing into a sizeable community of electronic design engineers, and thus may present a good opportunity for extolling the virtues of open source approaches to hardware design. Getting back to oshug.org, I was thinking about setting up planet.oshug.org for aggregating member blog posts on OSH. With the hope being that folks can then more easily contribute and don't have to commit effort to a third party thing. As ever, I would welcome your thoughts. Cheers, Andrew -- Andrew Back mailto:andrew@osmosoft.com http://carrierdetect.com

Hello, Just a reminder that if you are planning on heading along to the fifth OSHUG meeting tomorrow to register if you haven't already: http://oshugradio.eventbrite.com/ Cheers, Andrew -- Open Source Hardware User Group Event #5 Radio (HPSDR) Thursday, October 21, 2010 from 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM (GMT) London, United Kingdom HPSDR is an open source (GNU type) hardware and software project intended as the "next generation" software-defined radio for radio amateurs and shortwave listeners. It is being developed by a group of software-defined radio enthusiasts around the world, and in a modular hardware fashion to help promote experimentation by both hardware and software developers. John Melton has held an amateur radio license since 1984 when he was first licensed as N6LYT while living and working in California, and he was assigned the UK callsign of G0ORX on moving back to the UK. He became interested in developing open source software in 1990 with the launch of AMSAT Oscar 16, an amateur radio satellite with a store and forward messaging payload. He developed an open source software package to communicate with the satellite that ran on Linux (pre 1.0) and subsequently wrote an open source fully automated satellite ground station software package in Java. John has been a software engineer since 1970 when he was employed by Burroughs Corporation, and for the last 14 years he has worked for Sun Microsystems who were acquired by Oracle this year. -- Andrew Back mailto:andrew@osmosoft.com http://carrierdetect.com
