Just as the year closes, it’s time to remind people that two fantastic events are going to take place at the end of January / the beginning of February: FOSDEM 2020 FOSDEM is the Free- and Open Source conference in Europe! GNU Radio has had a strong presence there for the last few years, and 2020 will be no different.
It’s that time of the year when the open-source, software defined radio (SDR) community gathers for the annual GNU Radio Conference, or GRCon, for short. The ninth installment of this premier industry event is taking place September 16–20 in Huntsville, Alabama, at the Huntsville Marriot at the Space & Rocket Center, and NI is proud to serve as diamond sponsor along with its brand, Ettus Research.
Release 3.8.0.0 Witness me! Tonight, we release GNU Radio 3.8.0.0. It’s the first minor release version since more than six years, not without pride this community stands to face the brightest future SDR on general purpose hardware ever had. Since we’ve not been documenting changes in the shape of a Changelog for the whole of the development that happened since GNU Radio 3.
Dear GNU Radio Community, tonight, we’re releasing the first release candidate for the GNU Radio 3.8.0.0 release. You can find it on https://github.com/gnuradio/gnuradio/releases/tag/v3.8.0.0-rc1 and soon as a tarball on https://www.gnuradio.org/releases/gnuradio/ This is really a major step. In fact, it’s so big, that I really didn’t find the means to write a sensible CHANGELOG; I’ll conclude on the most user-relevant changes in the final release’s entry.
GNU Radio once again accepted for GSoC Great news! For the seventh time, GNU Radio has been accepted for Google Summer of Code. With this project, Google offers a great opportunity for students, but also for projects like GNU Radio to pass on the love for F/OSS and bring fresh talent into the community.
Anyway, the TL;DR is that this is a summary of my trip to Borneo in May this year with v2.0 of my drone based orangutan tracking system, developed in partnership with International Animal Rescue (IAR).

Once again, we’ve done an overhaul of our website. All web content (that is, excluding the wiki) is now statically generated by Hugo.
Open-source software initiatives require an active ecosystem of contributors…
