Greetings GNU Radio Community!
The proposal submission system for GRCON 2021 is now live here (https://events.gnuradio.org/event/8/abstracts/) - and the first round of submissions are open through 9 June. Please submit abstracts for your talks, papers, posters, lightning talks, workshops, for any work or topic that would benefit the SDR community. Note: The determination of whether the event will run in-person will be made some time in April 2021, but we are gathering information in two ways to help with that decision: 1) There is a survey here (https://events.gnuradio.org/event/8/surveys/2) for us to gather information about all potential attendees plans for in-person vs remote attendance - whether you plan to present or not. 2) When submitting an abstract, please indicate your preference/plans for in-person vs remote attendance so we can gather this info specifically for the participants. Sam has put together a step by step guide for how to use our new submission system (thanks to Andrej for setting this all up) https://events.gnuradio.org/event/8/page/1-submission-instructions Looking forward to seeing another amazing round of talks, papers, posters, and other ideas from our wonderful community! Sincerely, The GRCON21 Organizers ********************************************************************************************** We are gearing up for GNU Radio Conference 2021, which will be held September 20-24, 2021. GRCon 2021 celebrates and showcases the substantial and remarkable progress of GNU Radio and its usage in a diverse field of applications and industries. It is a week-long conference that includes high-quality technical content and valuable networking opportunities. GRCon is a venue that highlights design, implementation, and theory that has been practically applied in a useful way. GRCon attendees come from a large variety of backgrounds, including industry, academia, government, and hobbyists. GRCon21 is fully setup to run in-person in Charlotte, North Carolina. However with COVID still a significant concern the decision of whether to confirm that setup or move entirely online will not be made until April. This will be the next major breakpoint where the organizing committee will evaluate on the current conditions and make decisions on what is safe and sensible. In either case the main track talks will be livestreamed similar to GRCon20. If in-person, Charlotte, NC - the home of NASCAR, is the perfect location to focus on the theme of SPEED: processing high rate high throughput data with GNU Radio and showcase many of the high performance platforms and applications that have been developed across our community. To find out more about Charlotte, including venue information, please visit here: https://www.gnuradio.org/grcon/grcon21/charlotte *** We invite developers and users from across the GNU Radio Community to present your projects, presentations, papers, posters, and problems at GNU Radio Conference 2021, so start thinking about what great work you would like to present at this year’s conference. *** The proposal submission system will be up and running March 5th.
