Last night, I missed karaoke event at @gnuradio conference & this morning made mistake of telling Eric Blossom & @funkylab that I can do “Cabinet Battle #1” from _Hamilton_.
Eric insisted I do it on stage after my keynote. 😲
Largest audience I've done that for, & now it's been recorded — at least 3 people got their cameras out & there's the live stream. 😬
As I said when I finished, I love the piece b/c it shows “all politics are personal & both sides are usually wrong”.
I'm going on stage *NOW* (09:00 US/Pacific), to give a keynote at the #GRCon2025 ( @gnuradio annual conference) entitled “Free as in Airwaves” .
The keynote will be live streamed:

Slides: https://sfc.ngo/bkuhn-gnu-radio-2025
I'm going to talk about the origins of #GNURadio as a political force to keep the airwaves free for software freedom of users and radio enthusiasts.
I am very excited to be invited as one of the keynoters for #GRCon2025 (@gnuradio annual conference).
I can't wait to tell my stories of the BPDG (Broadcast flag working group that nearly made GNU Radio illegal before it even started), and other early considerations about why the freedom of the airwaves
— paved with #FOSS — is an essential component of #SoftwareFreedom
