[Ground-station] Fwd: Final DCC Speakers Schedule

[Michelle Thompson]

Several Phase 4 Ground people will be attending and presenting at TAPR DCC.

Please feel free to come to a meetup Thursday evening at the conference
hotel restaurant. This is an informal get together - updates will be on our
DCC Slack channel.

Immediately following is GNU Radio Conference and Phase 4 Ground Block
Party.

Immediately following that is the Open Source CubeSat Workshop in Madrid.
We're there too, working hard for open source amateur radio on the ground
and in space. We will be presenting on our technical achievements and
goals, our cultural fit experiences with other organizations and where we
see ourselves now and in the future, and our legal framework and approach.

Fall is full of documentation releases and code reviews. Right now, we plan
on hosting a lab and demo at Microwave Update in October.

If you are inspired and interested in what you see and want to help, pick
something and get in touch. If you know someone that should know more about
us, spread the word!

We're here to stay, having fun, and making progress. Thank you to everyone
that has been supportive and wonderful to the team over the past few
months. We are doing our best to capitalize on a number of excellent
opportunities. Our goal is to be a positive and sustaining member of the
amateur radio community.

Presenters and Speakers,

Thank you everyone for an exciting schedule of paper presentations and
speakers. We have perhaps one of the best lineup of talks that the DCC has
known!

Thank you to Brian Mileshosky, N5GZT and the Rocky Mountain Ham Radio club (
https://www.rmham.org/wordpress/) for hosting and bringing the DCC to
Albuquerque, NM.

Attached is the final speakers schedule.

Talks in the main session for Friday and Saturday are 45 minutes each.
Talks in the INTRO session on Saturday are 1.5 hours.

There will be a podium (lectern), computer projector, and screen. In the
main session room we will have wireless microphones connected to the house
speaker system.

Please bring your presentations on a FLASH (thumb) drive (as a backup) and
give a copy to Scotty Cowling, WA2DFI. Scotty will be honchoing (that's a
Southwestern term) the presenters computer. By preloading your presentation
it helps move the talks along and cut down on any technical glitches. If
you would like to use your computer to present, see Scotty to perform a
test connection to ensure you can connect to the projector. Please see
Scotty as soon as you can. If you have any questions, Scotty is copied on
this eMail.

This year Jason Johnson, KC5HWB, will be video recording, editing, and
posting to YouTube all of the talks less the INTRO talks. Jason ran a
successful Kickstarter campaign with a goal of raising $2100. He was
greeted with 60 backers pledging $2,475. This success shows us how much
amateurs around the world value the DCC and attend virtually.

Speaking of attendance, we have 95 registered attendees as of this weekend.
On average we'll have 10-20 walk ins. General attendance at the DCC is on
average 115 (give or take).

I want to extend a big thank you to Gary Pearce, KN4AQ, who has been the
semi-official videographer for the DCC in as many years as one can
remember. He's the one that helped bring the DCC to the masses and
showcasing the DCC on YouTube. Thank you Gary!

I hope you've made all your travel plans, made hotel reservations, and
registered for the DCC. If you did not order meals, we'll have some extra
tickets. See John and Laura at the registration booth outside the main
session rooms.

Finally, if you have any questions, please let us know. We look forward to
greeting you at the DCC!

73, Steve N7HPR
