Hi Timothy and all, I note that today is the last day to submit a proposal to the Dronecode Foundation's PX4 Developer Submit (I wish I had a proposal to submit, but maybe someone else does, also a good thing to keep in mind for next year): Hi Katherine, We’ve had enormous success with the Call for Proposals for this year’s PX4 Developer Summit 2023, but we still have requests by many community members to participate. If you still want to join the program, we’ve extended the CFP to 7/16. To make it super easy, we’ve put together a list of the most in-demand topics our audience has been asking for! * Integrating ROS 2 and PX4 to make a gamechanging app * Vibration tuning * Gazebo and PX4, new models, and simulation workflows * Computer Vision, VIO, Obstacle Avoidance * Beginner's guides to PX4 core concepts SUBMIT A PROPOSAL<https://email.linuxfoundation.org/e3t/Ctc/RI+113/cZw--04/VWJP3x2T4cg1W16qJyK99CRJhW3rtmkr50XR27N44_Db_3q3phV1-WJV7CgZ5yW1HHtNt3l-GB2W79XxGh23Cp1_W3p9WPN1YQVFyW6j6cPT4gFtHQW3z13938jMlGgW4g3dcJ8Z39QCW3MYMXq4QHPlYW56qfb851JKZdW3Phcsx6QKg-pW8h9GW48dSYGxW1mLXnY3CX0DkW2Yg-5B2KMxHbW5_dz-y4dc7_tW4Yj3WR1wK81DW2sfhNg3vLPmtW1x44Dl5wcCMjW8dQgMs56XjnRW1fs5MW8kNqxQW1X1Py85TRc3TW1Vd7Hm1kkhBvW5zhcR05vwwwSN86_ZNKngf1QVq4mt_5Z_6GhW51tyqy8QGBRPV4x0wQ1XDcgYVPqnvh1Xhdm6W8ZVKbf93z0tdW86nrKZ5mRfKp3pLy1> The call for proposal extension ends July 16 at 11:59 PDT, so take advantage of this last opportunity to speak the PX4 Developer Summit 2023, New Orleans, October 21-22, while there's still time. This promotion is sent on behalf of our Linux Foundation project communities who rely on your continued contributions to their efforts. <https://email.linuxfoundation.org/e3t/Ctc/RI+113/cZw--04/VWJP3x2T4cg1W16qJyK99CRJhW3rtmkr50XR27N44_Db53q3npV1-WJV7CgTcBW6W_CkV8bMbz4W5CY9m124sTQwW5QDBVW7lbzykW2DVmKN63ZmpkW62TpV86Tg2kSW4RTcrc3zxfMsVnlYM88zpWSPW7slCy04R-cfkVVMBSH3N-S18W7gh1gs6bjjDMW7gXzTd2Wdm8BW4cRlZb3b-Ht5W7Cl0gV2vG7mwW2Gh47R6gl_XcW707T4D1Lp8q5W4zSNM-2K5qbpN1s53H8lb4_4W21xr2z8MZmf2W1PmNpT1LWZNxW8yqKRr30LFlXN7s4WPRtv86FW8W-Smz17yLRr3jDY1> <https://email.linuxfoundation.org/e3t/Ctc/RI+113/cZw--04/VWJP3x2T4cg1W16qJyK99CRJhW3rtmkr50XR27N44_Dbp3q3nJV1-WJV7CgJvJW3QTYHS3TX8djW2CKTZD7n768RW8ZCgvq1qDpD_Vfmr8Z417-zdW8Z56lT7_MDD7M5yDZzBDFTlW896Qt71FfDl9W5q2syk1mS7C5W3VKFhW18-2DHW2b2Fch1BVG49W8jn49G70fGx2W2j3wCJ8jb_NzW1fgLyc4msZqGW8V_Yxl5rqpM5W3v-PXj7Kz0hNW3-T1yv96GcMTW1T8STG93tGfyW8nnBCr2v_4GmW56zp_361yCPlW6p_rr65dNYlrW2L3HgZ7SRtk_W6B-4qs97FGJNN6K13-N8lQLbW7dnKGD78kfJ333hC1> <https://email.linuxfoundation.org/e3t/Ctc/RI+113/cZw--04/VWJP3x2T4cg1W16qJyK99CRJhW3rtmkr50XR27N44_Db53q3npV1-WJV7CgV82W7xNNkb5Q0s_GW62cP147CKJJ4W4BGGxX6gwXp-W3qg_fq8zCZXqW1HD6pV2WNyB1W7ClkBc2XVy32W5lH_436pLH1PW1XJM292lPXgPW75qSHR7yw7tTW64TgkG8DXlcqW6YPf3j5r65HyW5vyhxl5fdVv7VBk6Mz5T1yCDN5TfBsYJXCmPW1gDp5T4dzM3hW4mRkm96C4nWSW1c6jbc7nDFHCW7Fy26m74RR1XW5vqRhs30NGv9W70GnY5667Hp9W3Gtmp51K510MV1xtty1kqWXG3qqN1> <https://email.linuxfoundation.org/e3t/Ctc/RI+113/cZw--04/VWJP3x2T4cg1W16qJyK99CRJhW3rtmkr50XR27N44_Dbp3q3nJV1-WJV7CgQCMW5tfy8y1BZllsVrTlhH3Jcj92W6D23wf68N6hpW6rbybK1l3pMmW1CJ7P13v4666N8kKCd_bMhX5N63gh66hMBQVN3B4bzWNns6mW97L7GJ7WpBT2W1CMHbx1mBr77W8KTpNs61mJX5W7B0mVg5QsXX1W7r__-j2ypBwNW8nQ8gJ3Yhj_GW24wTp63KhqCbW4mldy76s7_c3W3gX9h75C53xjW1JPsBc4YWgsmW1h1Pl41XHBdLW20cRBF1-Nfm0W3QM05K3Cx4NyW4YNGls5rv8FyW6t8-FK64JDwMW4Njswb53mFvQ38Fz1> This email was sent by: Dronecode Project, Inc. 548 Market St, PMB 57274, San Francisco, CA 94104-5401, United States Subscription Center<https://email.linuxfoundation.org/e3t/Ctc/RI+113/cZw--04/VWJP3x2T4cg1W16qJyK99CRJhW3rtmkr50XR27N44_Db5ckXhGV9V4KD7CgQD-W4lhZlq5ZD-BqW7Q1R_c4H5xcLW7f2-_Z3W9LqtN7bzSlPvD2wvW3G0Tnx8syRM6W3ZR4q53D5Bj4W6prP-j6pWmHxN33xNhcP3-hjW7j9Ff94-c3R6W8BZTMl8xH8RPW582_jw5QblNRW221Y9J1-FjB9W4yqxZg8M8JxCW4QTTvt337Qv7W675qTD7538PbW28GyVv4yDDnzW4JR5k41WlGtfN5Y9Ktpvhf22W7Sh31_1fzNSDW3bB7sK2HS2QtW2DXf_Z1Mj3PrW3qrjTf5ltM38W30QHkz4m57S9W3h0WF64s7srPW52qm0J6MfbMgW3VbfWp8y9kBgW9btw8F9cDR7BW40hRnj6CYzFbW4g6gXJ1cYbNcW8R67kp2mzT1lW2qYsW96XK4vSW6ssQ2D1_qZwPW8KJsg22YnGFjW2Hqf4H4KngqbW8b4pRj6YHXvvW7SzQG74Y8twlN7pHj8zgPj0GVMGJcd2Gw9N7N7m6qLhfnzrgW5sCknh6KPpdQW144rwQ3mxwxGW8bcw-V10JFdRW7_XNTg9bR-LTW8jtMJ61Y2B-5N4K7D64qRZ7XN68_fhWgMrLcW3-rfS319r_ZwVN9J251THx1xW2Ycj6v638hhxW2bwSGt7LjLqHW86GgTd8LB5HhN1TNn6dYt41LW1Nf0h76mWFvkW6w4ScC5P175MN5jd-W_7tCrqW3th9Bc8N9nwfW4BDTv_4NtDWqW5dCT5c5tKWXxW4zm_KN61yf9XW9kH8zd7zN2WfW1qRYLv2SFTS_W3KJ3lp63XJp3W3-3VZN1NHbw8W6SkFSL30_GpfW39CVlT1gp7WLVmgyPp95mmVwW4dB6pT3NXF60W4v1PJ61SS3X6W1Hnzry88GLQjW62Tj3d2MxWNDW1vNSJn5TgPGjW6Dv1MR2dmdzwW4JGrc96XDcbyW6tMH5D7V3WJcVZ699b6wQvGnW49zp7C3rrTp4W4nnVbb7jBkHhW6zsVDh4svyN-W10Ldqw8c6jGrW2Wrh4P5_mHpdN4vtTZzKnN94W67jHMr4fM2wpN1rZlh3CGzjnW9lkcVT6YkD0XVrVk044MhnrSW1gJ10B8yB_SZ38d81> My favourite topic is "Gazebo and PX4, new models, and simulation workflows". Timothy - could you please consider doing a presentation for us (not necessarily on Gazebo and PX4, new models, and simulation workflows, although that would be neat)? I invited someone to attend an OCLUG meeting, and I think this would appeal to them too. Even if not this month, maybe in August?

Gliding clubs in Canada and around the globe have a project called Open Glider Network (OGN). http://wiki.glidernet.org/about Aircraft are using a proprietary collision avoidance device called a Flarm -or- an inexpensive, programmable GPS/radio such as a TTGO T-Beam. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=TTGO+t-beam&t=newext&atb=v328-1&ia=web Those devices transmit their positions. Dotted around the landscape are land-based OGN receivers that feed captured positions into the OGN database on the Internet. Live tracking can be seen at https://live.glidernet.org/#c=45.60741,-75.12966&z=10&m=NaN&o=1&s=1&l=r&p=3&u=i&n=0 There is no live traffic ATM, but it sometimes looks like this https://box.greenbullfrog.com/cloud/index.php/s/iSKxreaWF54ZiQj --- Timothy Forbes On 2023-06-07 20:37, Katherine Mcmillan wrote: > Hello all, > > I have been looking at some Open Source Tracking software (for legal > purposes such as business land fleet management, tracking of public > health transportation vehicles, and approved research drone work).
