I've counted just among people who I've met, two groups at Harvard and two groups at MIT who are using or plan to use GNUradio on the USRP. I know of a couple of others who are interested in using it but are waiting for a bit more software to be available for amateur radio use.
I wonder if an in-person meetup would be useful, or at least enjoyable. For the academics, it's probably best to do this between semesters, in January. I can arrange a space for up to fifteen or so people at the Harvard Wireless Club without any hassle, could probably get a bigger room if need be. But I am not insisting it be at Harvard. Topics I'd like to cover would be a show-n-tell of the USRP2, some info on other gnuradio devices, perhaps short summaries by each participant of their projects or interests, and perhaps even an in-depth presentation. Lastly, we could have a 'swap-meet' where boards are bought-sold-traded, cables, enclosures, antennas, components, etc. It could also be a good place for personal inter-networking. business card exchange and so forth. If you think this is a good idea or bad, etc., air your views here on the forum. If you just want to say "I am interested", drop me some private email. Once we get a core group of people who would be working on this, I'd move traffic off this list in order to keep the noise down.
