Looking out over the Derwent River from the LCA2017 Conference held at Wrest Point
This week I had the pleasure of attending Linux Conference Australia, the largest Free & Open Source Software Community event in Australia. As part of the conference there were a series of mini conferences held in the first two days and I was lucky enough to be asked to be involved with the Open Radio Mini Conference.
Scott VK7LXX Presenting on SatNOGS
There were a number of fantastic talks at the event on Satellites, Getting into Amateur Radio, HPSDR, 10GHZ EME, Hamlib along with a panel discussion. One of the fantastic things about LCA was that all the sessions have been recorded and placed on Youtube, so I can just link to them below:
- Are you ready for Amateur Radio? – VK7BEN
- 10GHz EME Propagation – VK7MO
- Overview of HPSDR – VK7TW
- Open Source & Radio Panel
- Hamlib Support for OpenSDR – VK1ATP
- Decoding Satellites with SatNOGS – VK7LXX
Also at the conference was Steve Conklin AI4QR who presented as part of the main conference on the Phase 4 Geosynchronous Satellite Efforts in progress with AMSAT. This was a fascinating presentation and can be found by following this link.
LCA2018 is going to be held on the UTS Campus in Sydney next year, and hopefully there will be another Open Radio Miniconference!
