Well... I need people to start contributing to this project, and
actually have some money that I could use to pay IUPUI students who
work on it. If not pay... then I can try to negotiate at least some
class credit for working on this project. Anyway... stop on by the
radio station. We're in the basement of cavanaugh at the south end of
the hall way. I'm trying to get my regular hours set to about 10 - 5
pm... so stop on by, or message me aim - pugfick, or something... cause
I'm the only one involved who understands this stuff and would love
some fellow linux geeks to bounce ideas off of and have them help share
the burden.<br>

<pre wrap="">Hello,
I'm a closet linux junkie, who has now been thrust into the role of
becoming the General Manager of IUPUI's new Student Radio. So...
obviously I'm writing you because I want to develop an audio
infrastructure that can at the very least handle webcasting, and at the
very most deal with uncompressed audio for AM/FM.

As an IUPUI student, Linux advocate, and long time CINLUG member, I'm
very excited about the possible role of Linux at the IUPUI radio
station.
Streaming/webcasting can be handled with Icecast -

<pre wrap="">So I've been doing a lot of research about ALSA and all the audio
software out there, and this all seems very possible. We could use
FLAC for a digital audio archive

Most automation systems have their own format and could probably serve
as an audio library. AM/FM quality is much less than CD/FLAC - you
could probably get away with a compressed format like Ogg Vorbis
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.vorbis.com/">http://www.vorbis.com/</a>) and save disk space without affecting the audio
quality too much.
, store it all on an SSL FTP server,

<pre wrap="">do automation with this cool new program LiveSupport

Looking at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://livesupport.campware.org">http://livesupport.campware.org</a> it doesn't look like
LiveSupport is fully functional yet. Salem Radio Labs has a GPL'd
automation system called Rivendell -
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.salemradiolabs.com/rivendell/">http://www.salemradiolabs.com/rivendell/</a> - I haven't used it myself but
have researched it in the past. There's a LinuxJournal article entitled
"Helping Broadcast Radio with Linux" available at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7168">http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7168</a> - it mentions a couple sites
using Linux automation systems but doesn't mention which systems they're
using.

<pre wrap="">with Ardour and JACK, obviously do our website with one of the many
Content Management Systems (currently using postnuke, but I've been
checking out Plone).

We use PostNuke for the CINLUG website and used to use Zope. We're
considering a presentation on different CMS's for a future CINLUG
meeting.

Sounds like an excellent project - hope it works out. Feel free to ask
questions on this list or in our forums.
