THIS time, More of the Same! Why not? It's fun to turn unlikely audio sources into streaming radios. The more the merrier, I say.
That's why this time, I'm bringing (and leaving behind) a laptop intended to be yet another stream source as well as an automated podcast-cutter. A liquidsoap sandbox machine anybody (who asks nicely) can have an account on.
And I had a fun idea. We could put a streaming radio "tuner" in one or both of the rooms, a piece of hardware whose sole job it is to play streaming radio sources through a stereo. Maybe with a nice blue LCD display like the one on this page:
And then we could set up an open-access icecast2 box (internally) that lets anybody become a streaming source, and then the "tuner" could automatically get a list of what's available, so you could just turn a knob to switch between available sources, such as:
* Sudo Radio (live)
* Sudo Radio (programmed)
* Mix Tape Radio
* Radio Loki
* All Bad Religion Plus Some TMBG
* ...?
* Profit
So, come! I'll be at Sudo Room from 8pm to 10pm, doing whatever I want that happens to be streaming radio related.
I'd still like to teach some liquidsoap programming to anyone who's interested.
Cheers,
Naomi
ps. if you'd like to suggest a different meeting time, I'm open to it. Rachel and I do-ocracied this meeting date/time and I just stuck with it.
