FPGA Workshop Cruise with ORI?
Want to learn more about open source FPGA development from experts in the
field? Want to get away? How about something that can give you both? We are
looking at organizing an FPGA Workshop Adventure Cruise. Be part of the
planning and write fpga at openresearch.institute

ORI’s Birthday - Celebrate With Pins!
We celebrate our 4th birthday on 6 March 2023. Thank you to everyone that
has helped ORI grow and succeed in so many different ways. To commemorate
our anniversary, we have a limited edition acrylic logo pin. They will be
available for a small donation at all upcoming in-person events. Where will
be be? We’ll be at DEFCON 31 and IEEE IWRC in Little Rock, AR, USA 13-14
September 2023. Want to include us at your event before then? Let us know
at hello at openresearch.institute

RFBitBanger Prototypes
Interested in high frequency amateur (HF) bands? Want to learn about Class
E amplification? Excited about open HF digital protocols that aren’t just
signal reports? Well, we have a kit for you. Here’s a walk-through by Paul
KB5MU of all RFBitBanger modes. (https://youtu.be/cp3MMp09ym4) This project
is lead by Dr. Daniel Marks, is enthusiastically supported by ORI, and will
be demonstrated at DEFCON in August 2023. We are doing all we can to have
kits available for sale by DEFCON, or sooner.

Announcing the ORI App Stores
Open Research Institute can be found in the Google Play Store and the Apple
App Store. That’s right - we are in both app stores delivering open source
mobile apps. Thank you to everyone that has helped make this possible. The
Ribbit (https://www.ribbitradio.org/) app will be available on both
platforms as our initial release. Do you know of an open source application
that needs a home? Get in touch at hello at openresearch.institute and let’s
talk. We want to share our platform and support applications that help open
source and amateur radio.

QSO Today Ham Expo Spotlight
We hope to see you again at QSO Today Ham Expo, 25-26 March 2023. If you
haven’t gotten a ticket yet, please visit https://www.qsotodayhamexpo.com/
This is a wonderful event that showcases the best parts of amateur radio.
The theme for this Ham Expo is “New License - Now What?” Recordings will be
available on the Ham Expo platform for a month, and then will be available
on YouTube for anyone to view. ORI will volunteer at the March 2023 QSO Ham
Expo session and will have technical presentations, a booth, and poster
sessions at the Autumn 2023 QSO Today Ham Expo.

Jay Francis in QEX
Please see page 20 of the March/April 2023 issue of QEX magazine (
http://www.arrl.org/qex) for an article co-authored by Jay Francis, our
AmbaSat Re-Spin team lead. Excellent job, Jay!

Pierre W4CKX has declared his candidacy for ORI Board of Directors
We welcome Pierre’s interest in being a member of the board. Pierre is the
Ribbit project lead. He brings broad industry knowledge, experience in
Agile project management, a commitment to ethical leadership, and
innovative energy. Learn about all our directors at

projects and community.

We’ve got lots going on with Opulent Voice, Haifuraiya, AmbaSat Respin, and
regulatory work. We support IEEE in many ways, one of which is logistics
support with technical presentations such as “Advances in AI for Web
Integrity, Ethics, and Well Being” by Srijan Kumar PhD. Video recording of
his talk can be found here. (https://youtu.be/CjmDMFCP0S4)
