Debian and GNU Radio are both confirmed in GSoC this year, is there
interest in advertising this idea[1] for converting the GNU Radio live
DVD into a Debian Live project, merging with the Debian Ham CD?

For all those students who have joined the mailing list recently, do any
of you have a ham radio license?

I'm happy to write up a project idea that can go on both the Debian and
GNU Radio wikis (and also my blog) but I would like to find somebody
with more comprehensive GNU Radio knowledge to be part of the mentoring
team for it.

Daniel
