Hey all -- couple of brief items related to the "radio" "station"
we're setting up.
This is tonight's agenda, but I'm posting it also the main list to ask
for some specific help.
1 - Tonight at 8pm our Meeting will take the format of a workshop
meant to produce the script that will be the "switchboard" for
end-listener stream.
I'm going to focus on teaching the use of liquidsoap as an audio
swiss-army-knife. It's kinda weird (based in OCaml) but once you get
the hang of it, oh the POWER!
2 …
[View More]- There will be a Raspberry Pi installed in the radio room. It will
be readily identifiable as the radio R-Pi b/c it has a sticker of
lightening in a fist. Of course.
3 - There's a small network switch that is obviously underutilized.
Please don't remove it or unplug it UNLESS you find a smaller one you
can put in (like a 5-port hub would be fine), or you feel like running
another ethernet cable from the main switch. This little switch is
infrastructure awaiting the putting-in of the R-Pi.
4 - HELP NEEDED - we're going to need to punch a few port-holes in the
router for outside access to icecast running locally and for ssh to
the R-Pi. (If there's a better solution, I'm all ears.)
5 - Come play! If you want to participate or learn more about what
we're doing, join the sudo-radio list, which is very low-traffic (most
days no mail at all) at the moment:

Hey radioheads,
Can I get a "penciled into my calendar" roll call of who will likely
show up tomorrow at 8pm?
If a good handful of people are coming who want to learn liquidsoap,
I'll bring a laptop to pretend to be a server and give everybody
accounts on it so you can play around.
Compiling liquidsoap (which you almost always end up needing to do
because the latest stuff isn't in packages) is a huge pain in the ass.

Sudo Radio may want to rep in this Serbian WorldWide art show.

Subject: participate in a show far away:)
To:
Hi everyone,
I'm having a show in Belgrade, and if you want to participate by
broadcasting yourself on radio,
you can do it remotely, by downloading the Firefox add on from
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/browserradio/
and whatever you type …
[View More]from 12-20h every day except Sunday will be
broadcasted in the gallery and its surroundings until the end of the show.
official invite>>>
Transmitting is a two way channel is an exhibition that deals with the
perception of “old” and new media through the concept of radio
broadcasting. Throughout the space there are computers with a modified
Firefox browser- everything that the visitor types into any browser text
field (such as a search engine) is broadcasted via a text to speech
synthesis software on on an empty frequency on radio ad can be heard on
several radio devices placed around the space. Visitors also have an
opportunity to broadcast their wanted material from other locations, using
the Internet, by installing the Firefox add on that makes it possible,
creating an accidental dadaist radio show as a collage of collective text.
By setting things in such a way, attention is placed on the physical aspect
of information and the controversial consistency of digital data on the
Internet, indicating the problematics of the visibility of information
technology structures. All typed material stays archived and publicly
accessible after the show.
This show aims to question the social nature of digital information, as
well as participative network systems (Internet), that are seen as the
opposite to a one directional model of old mass media. Offering a strategy
of Reverse search engineering (search engine and reverse engineering), we
gain the possibility to use search engines or any other browser text field
as a subversive broadcasting unit, consciously communicating with “smart
algorithms” that find practical meaning in any textual form.
Paying attention to the physical aspect of information, it becomes traced
and tangible over radio transmission, filling up the space of the gallery,
making the webs of communication happening everywhere around us visible.
The title Transmitting is a two way channel refers to Brecht's critique of
the one sidedness of the radio system (later to be mass media in general)
in which he argued that every signal recipient should be capable of
broadcasting himself,in a way foreseeing the development of the Internet.
On the other hand, the sole expansion of the Internet has passed a long way
from a utopian image of a decentralized network for knowledge exchange to a
bureaucratized commercial medium for advertising on which intellectual
debate, as well as banal information become the source of capital.
Appropriating a free FM frequency, as a squatting strategy, reminds us that
the FM spectrum became a subject of ownership over time, and at the same
time consists of an ephemeral structure- air. It could have also stayed a
common good, free in both senses of the word, whereas wi-fi technology as a
technology of radio is telling of the common use of this technology for the
purpose of controlling information systems, as well as, consequently, the
unexplored possibilities of the radio spectrum.
During the whole show the artist will be present, contributing her everyday
typing activity to the radio broadcast and inviting people to join her.
There will also be a workshop on hacking fm transmitters will be held in
the gallery space by Filip Dulić, the Belgrade hacklab electronic guru, on
Friday, Tuesday and Thursday from 18h.
Good frequencies from Belgrade!

SRIG (sudo radio interest group) meeting: Infrastructure Buildout
attendees: nthmost.
This is a set of 10 pics describing what happened in the 2 hours from
8pm to 10pm in which we (meaning I) rearranged almost everything in
the sudo radio room, "installed" power strips, created incredible (to
me) amounts of open space, wrapped and sorted cables, and sang along
loudly to mid-90s punk rock.
http://nthmost.net/albums/SRIG-2013-03-19/
Check out the album at the above link and read the captions …
[View More]to learn
specifics and to see where some more attention is needed. Mostly what
we need is:
* Decent radio "monitor" speakers (to hear what the listeners are hearing)
* Cabling to whatever mixer we decide to use (that behemoth seems to work!)
* Cabling from computer to RPi
This makes me feel good. It's a much firmer foundation upon which to
build a "station".
Next step: Actually Install The Damn RPi.
Next meeting date: Tuesday, 3/26/2013 - 8pm

Great!
Also my mother will be there and we might try chatting a bit on the current
stream :) I'm not sure how late I'll be able to stay after the meeting, but
will try!
Best,
Marina

hi everyone,
shani and i are in the studio trying out recording. for future record, on
audacity, output needs to be set to HDA Intel: ALC888 Analog (hw0:0) to
play back :)
naomi, did you make any headway with the streams?
we agreed after our last meeting to meet on wednesday after the normal sudo
meeting.
see you soon,
marina
Hi everyone,
Welcome to the sudo radio listserv!
What is the current status of the radio? What have people been working on?
What do we need to move forward?
