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
