• "SDR is hard, but installing GNU Radio is not -- Bootstrapping your bench with PyBOMBS and CGRAN" (Martin Braun, @braun_noise (https://twitter.com/braun_noise))
Want to get started with GNU Radio and SDR? Let's not worry about anything and use some tools that'll get you set up nearly automatically.I'll show you how to use PyBOMBS to get a setup running on most systems without effort -- even for cross-compile setups!In the second part, we'll talk about some of the more advanced features of PyBOMBS and how YOU can use it to distribute your work.
• "Disposable, Stealthy, Cheap SIGINT" (Chris Kuethe (http://github.com/ckuethe), @kj6gve)
This presentation covers some observations and considerations for using inexpensive and compact ARM boards for signals analysis.
Topics may include: power budget, air interface, attributability, performance tuning, lolcats and doges.

• "Osmocom-GMR (https://projects.osmocom.org/projects/gmr/wiki): Quick introduction to receiving the Thuraya and Mexsat satellite phone systems" (Sylvain 'tnt (https://twitter.com/tnt)' Munaut, @tnt)
GMR-1 is an ETSI standard for satellite phones heavily derived fromGSM. The main/only commercial provider using this standard used to beThuraya, mainly used in the Middle-East and Asia and didn't provideany US coverage, but recently the Mexican government deployedMorelos-3 which carries a GMR-1 3G payload and can be received fromthe US.
Osmocom-GMR is a free-software project from the Osmocom family toreceive and decode those signals, going all the way from RF to packetsin wireshark or audio files.
This talk will be a quick introduction to GMR itself, the project and how to get started using it.
