What are people actually building with RISC-V?
Discover “RISC-V Builders”, a YouTube Live series where the people behind a project get together to talk about what they built, how they built it, and what they learned along the way.
Our first episode will cover: How a student-built RISC-V processor went from teaching core to running DOOM.
Join Tobias Scheipel (TU Graz) & Bernd Stelzl (TU Graz) live on Wednesday September 23 at 8AM PDT: hubs.la/Q04xwgbX0
Set a reminder and bring your questions! #RISCVBuilders

A set of 2304 MHz EME septum feeds (circularly polarized, based on OK1DFC's design) passed return loss and basic operational tests this past week. Here they are in Remote Lab.
These will be used to test EVE signal designs and to operate EME as W6ORI, our club call.
ALT Two aluminum sheet metal fits sit on the bases on a folding table at ORI's remote labs. A spectrum analyzer sits between them. The spectrum analyzer was used to measure return loss and SWR. The feeds met or exceeded specifications across the board and were then used for point to point link with hackRFs and portapacks.

Last Sunday, we observed the flaring source Cyg X-3 with VLBI between the amateur radio telescopes in Stockert and Dwingeloo. We had to observe low above the horizon making calibration hard, but it's still quite bright - a few Jansky, as was noted in ATel 18003 on 24 August.
ALT Graph showing a strong correlation on Cygnus X-3 between Dwingeloo - Stockert, 2026-08-30, 120 seconds integration time. On an offset of 0 seconds, the correlation magnitude is 1500 (uncalibrated).

AMSAT-CA has a vision: make Amateur Radio satellites more accessible, develop open source ground stations and balloon projects, and ultimately take Canadian Amateur Radio to the Moon.
As Vice President, I invite you to join us and help build it.

At @defcon we had a lot of people ask how the best place to chat with people who love Wireless technology and @wctf_us . We had no answer, but now we do. Join us on discord :-) discord.gg/JjPQhKy

Dear X Algorithm,
Consider this an open-source issue.
Tag every developer, maintainer, coder, and tech enthusiast as a contributor.

A sad reality of Free Software is that the most well-funded companies that greatly benefit from the technologies will actually rarely contribute or give back, even when they request changes.
For a project like Godot, the vast majority of the funding and contributions ultimately come from indie game developers, Free Software organizations or enthusiasts, and companies built by long time contributors to the project.
You can scour big industry events actively trying to get sponsorships. Even if there are companies with really large revenue using Godot that have much to gain from this, it just doesn't work like that.
And Godot is lucky to be really up there among the Free Software projects that receive some funding or sponsored developer time from multinationals - generally to better support their own platforms or products, e.g. integrating C# for Microsoft, improving mobile rendering performance for Google...
