GNU Radio Organization Updates

Hi all,

we're a bit behind in updating the mailing list on the latest
organizational update. At GRCon, we talked about the changes we were
planning to do within the GNU Radio organization
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRGwxPBG1wM).

In the meantime, we have implemented most of these changes.
The people who were previously officers of the project congregated on
8-Oct-2020 to have our first General Assembly. Here, we decided to
reorganize the GNU Radio Project under new articles of association.

The new articles, and the minutes of the General Assembly can be found
on a new repository we've been using to capture all important
organizational documents: https://github.com/gnuradio/gr-governance

We'll also document assembly meeting minutes and other decisions here,
so if you care about the organization, you can monitor that repository
for updates.

Other than agreeing on the new organization format, the assembly also
elected a new board. The board now consists of Derek Kozel, Marc
Lichtman, and myself. After the assembly, the board met internally to
decide on who would be the new president of the project, and we are very
happy to have Derek Kozel fill that role.

Ben Hilburn, our previous president, did not run for the office of the
board, but remains part of the General Assembly. We are very grateful
for all his work during the years of his presidency, in particular, the
work he did to set up the GNU Radio organization in a more sustainable
way, ultimately leading to the organization we have now.

Finally, we elected two more members into the General Assembly: Barry
Duggan (our documentation lead) and Sam Palazzolo (who was a key member
of the GRCon committee). We will be adding more members to the GA in the
coming months.

We had a bit of an audio snafu during the last project call, but we did
also talk about the new org structure in the October call:

I want to thank all volunteers in the project, on the assembly or
otherwise, for their contributions to the project, and hope that the new
org structure will continue to bring success to the project.

Cheers,
Martin
