Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] GNU Radio Conference

[Alexandru Csete]

I think it's a great idea to have a GNU Radio conference and I'll do
my best to be there. Personally, I also prefer an agenda with a good
mixture of presentations and active sessions
(tutorial/workshop/hacking), like the one proposed by Tom.
September is fine and both weekdays and weekend are good.
