SYN Shop has a meetup page too - check it out (https://www.meetup.com/synshop/).
This will be a very exciting lineup! We'll be providing pizza and drinks (as we normally do).
If you can't make it to Vegas, then please join us on the live stream!
Syn Shop is a short drive from The Strip, so we'll come up with a way for people to car pool in Ubers, etc, if they wish.
SDR that happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas!
Speakers:
• "SlackRadio: Turning your Slack channel into a radio station" with Nate Temple (https://twitter.com/devnulling)
Slack is a popular real-time messaging system designed for team use. I will demo a small application built with GNU Radio and the Slack API that turns your Slack channel into a real radio station for your office.
