[Discuss-gnuradio] GNURadio and Google Summer of Code

[Naveen Manicka]

Hi Eric,

 

Do you have a specific template for the application process or can I use the sample template given on the google summer of code webpage?

 

Also, do I just signup selecting the GNU Project in the application process? (There is nothing else which is listed in relation to GNUradio)

 

Thanks,

Naveen

Looks like a good program.  I'm signed up to mentor, and Matt will back me up.

 

In the suggested projects department:

 

  * Build decent GUI around one or more GNU Radio apps.  This could include a basic AM/FM/NBFM receiver/scanner.

 

  * Build decent GUI for an "amateur transceiver".  Including features such as Tx/Rx frequency split for talking on repeaters, etc.  Could optionally handle digital voice, etc.  We've got most of the guts working, but no GUI.

 

  * RFID

 

  * Pretty much anything anybody wants to work on, e.g., signal processing, new mods/demods, ...
