Google Summer of Code is a program by Google where students get involved in open source projects. LabLua, the programming language lab at PUC Rio de Janeiro is again participating as a mentoring organisation. They have a project proposal: Integrate the Lua scripting language into OpenRTX. #Lua

The infostand on amateur radio at FOSDEM'26 will be in building AW, stand 12, just next to the GNURadio stand. See fosdem.org/2026/stands/ See you in Brussels! #amateurradio #fosdem #iaru-r1 #opensource

I am looking forward to attend FOSDEM'26 in my role as IARU-R1 open source projects coordinator as well as an active open source developer. When I am not visiting OSS projects, I am likely to be found near the amateur radio info stand. See you in Brussels!

Did you know that the IARU Region 1 maintains a curated list of open source projects at github.com/iaru-r1/open... ? If your favourite project is missing, please let us know here or send an email to the open source projects coordinator at [email protected] and we will consider adding it.

Make America Goofy Again 🫵

🥂 The first update of the Grid Locator app for iPhone, iPad and the Apple Watch is about to hit the App Store: 👍 You can switch between metric and imperial units. 👍 You can request notifications when the locator changes while the app is in the background. 👍 The UI has been translated to 🇫🇷 and 🇮🇹.

I created the bluesky account @hb9ssb.bsky.social for my hamradio related posts. You might want to follow this as well.

The Grid Locator app will optionally notify you when the locator changes when the app is in the background. testflight.apple.com/join/3KSDGsSV

New beta version 1.1(5) of the Grid Locator app for iOS and Apple Watch out. It supports the metric and imperial measurement system and the UI has been translated to french and italian.

My all new Grid Locator app for iPhone, iPad and the Apple watch has been approved for the Apple appstore. It might take some time until it shows up in searches.

Finally something useful on my Apple Watch 😊

We already started the planning for the IARU innovation zone at the HAM RADIO 2025, looking forward to meet you there and discuss radio-actively 😊
