Code Stuff

 * Josh M. introduces himself as master-branch maintainer
 * Jeff L. introduces himself as maint-branch maintainer
 * We're still figuring out release cadences
 * Upcoming goals:
 * About every 6 months we want to release from master branch (around GRCon and FOSDEM)
 * Put packaging code in-tree, so we can keep our Launchpad and COPR better in-sync. Packaging will become more automated.
 * 3.10 will have some exciting new features:
 * gr-pdu: Burst-based processing
 * gr-iio: Getting close to merging. Thanks to Adam Horden for picking this up and putting it in shape for master. You can now run Pluto with vanilla GR!
 * gr-soapy: Soapy support. Thanks to Jeff L!
 * We want to remove log4cpp, preferably to be replaced by spdlog.
 * PMT replacement: pmt
 * Check out our GREPs: https://github.com/gnuradio/greps/
