Reminder: OSHUG #5 tomorrow!
by Andrew Back 20 Oct '10

20 Oct '10

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

Event #4 - Community, 23rd September.
by Andrew Back 28 Aug '10

28 Aug '10

Hello, Details are now up on the website for the fourth OSHUG meeting: http://oshug.org/event/4 Still waiting for a few more details from DesignSpark and London Hackspace, but registration is now live. We'll add further details as and when we have them. The theme for OSHUG #5 will be radio and we have a talk on the extremely cool OpenHPSDR platform confirmed. http://openhpsdr.org/ Still looking for a couple more speakers. Might be nice to have a talk on the affordable Softrock SDR radios, or perhaps something non-ham related, e.g. an open source hardware GPS, RFID, UWB or more classical radio platform or project. As ever suggestions and offers to present are most welcome and indeed encouraged. Cheers, Andrew -- Andrew Back mailto:andrew@osmosoft.com http://carrierdetect.com
