I thought some of you might be interested in this upcoming event. It sounds relevant to our membership... Maybe a way to encourage other people to get their licences? Too far from San Francisco for me to participate... but I will be tracking the event from afar...
As to the ongoing maiing list discussion: I would like to propose we form a subcommittee of interested members to review the organizational bylaws and make recommendations to the Board of Directors for improvements.
I also think we need to communicate better and more efficently.. Perhaps we can add some newer open source software tools to ensure smoother communication?

- The Challenge -
The DARPA Spectrum Collaboration Challenge (SC2) aims to ensure that the exponentially growing number of military and civilian wireless devices will have full access to the increasingly crowded electromagnetic spectrum.
In this first-of-its-kind collaborative machine-learning competition, competitors will reimagine new spectrum access strategies in which radio networks autonomously collaborate to dynamically determine how the radio frequency (RF) spectrum should be used moment to moment, avoiding interference and jointly exploiting opportunities. SC2 teams will develop these breakthrough capabilities by taking advantage of recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, and the expanding capacities of software-defined radios.
The team whose radio design most reliably achieves successful communication in the presence of other competing radios could win as much as $3,500,000.
So this could be interesting product for 44net funds to fund research on internally. There are alot of very smart people on here who could collaborate to expand knowledge in this area. This could be the first real grant from the funds acquired via the sale of IP space to directly impact not only our projects, but a wider world. 73, Lin

Are entries required to be open source and benefit amateur radio?
Interesting project, with major commercial opportunities.

It's a little late now. The challenge has been going on since 2017 and this is the final event where the (significant) prize money gets awarded. Some of the finalists have already been awarded $1,500,000 ($750,000 in each of two previous rounds).
One of my online friends is on one of the teams.

Maybe I’m a bit paranoid, but with spectrum hungry cell phone companies I read “Occupy ham spectrum!”.
Just look at the French trying to grab the 2 m VHF allocation for avionics.
