Excellent question, thanks! Nothing certain right now, but I imagine there is going to be a bit of a mix of both. I imagine these will be a few of the tracks that we will have: 1. Introduction and Tutorial to GNU Radio 2. Applications - paper session on how people are using GNU Radio 3. Hardware for SDR - come show your wares. 4. An open spaces session - open discussions about what people want from GNU Radio and what projects people might want to purseu 5. Advanced GNU Radio - discussion and showing some advanced features Anything that I might call a "paper session" is just the standard wording from other conferences; I don't expect people to submit papers and we will definitely not have a proceedings or anything (for this one, at least). These are just presentations, and hands-on / live demos should be encouraged. We might also try to set aside some room and time for hacking. Maybe get some like-minded people together to start a new project or application while we're all there. Any suggestions?
