Hi all! As the main developer on the FreeDV app side, congratulations are definitely in order for David. I'm definitely not good at voice codec stuff so Codec2 and everything that uses it (FreeDV, M17, etc.) wouldn't be where it is without his effort.

We're making progress on adoption for sure. For one thing, more and more people are joining in every Activity Day (next one is the weekend after Dayton, BTW--May 28-29).

Also, if you haven't played with FreeDV in a while, I'd upgrade as a lot of stuff has changed with the application in the last year or two. The current stable version is 1.7.0, with 1.8.0 currently in test. Plus, there's native support for all three of the major platforms now (Linux (using either PulseAudio or PortAudio), macOS (ARM and Intel) and Windows (32 and 64 bit)), whereas macOS was missing in the older versions before.

Thanks to all involved with the development and hard work you've put into codec2 and FreeDV - it's been a load of fun for me to learn and experiment with. When I try it I'm using a Mac and it's a very nice and easy application to work with. Congratulations on the award!
