[Sudo-radio] Welcome to Sudo Radio!

[Mischa Spiegelmock]

Current status is somewhat indeterminate. There exists radio.sudoroom.org, a site with two mp3 streaming players, one pointed at a stream that Andrew set up I believe, and an icecast2 server that I set up at sudoradio.com. I can't speak much about the other stream, but it was silent when I tried playing it earlier.
For the sudoradio.com stream, we have unmetered 100mbit bandwidth, native ipv6 if we care, and a 192kbps music rotation going at all times with a large selection of music that I think is pretty awesome. Some of it is mixes and DJ sets (some by yours truly), some of it is experimental indie electronic music. I invite you to have a listen, it's usually pretty bumpin': http://sudoradio.com/listen.pls
There is a bot that reports the current artist/track and also the current stream title in #sudoradio on free node, and the website has a mp3 streaming flash player that I wrote and also reports the current artist/track/stream title.
Andrew had rightly expressed a desire to have access to the stream configuration and server, and I am happy to provide it. Please speak to me in person I guess if you are interested.
It would probably be good to consolidate the streams. We can certainly make one a relay of the other, but that seems like it would overly complicate things for no benefit. I'm open to ideas on what to do.

There has been some discussion regarding copyright, which is an absolutely valid and reasonable concern. I think there may be some consensus that addressing it is less of a priority until we actually have listeners and there exists some creative-commons-licensed music that isn't utter shit.

We also have a 0.5w FM PLL transmitter for terrestrial radio, which as far as I know is functional and has a filter and everything. It needs a new amp which can run anywhere in the range of $20 to millions of dollars, I'd suggest a 15w amp kit from Free Radio Berkeley, which runs about $80. I'd be willing to purchase one if someone is willing to build an antenna. There's a link on a previous email I sent on the subject to instructions to manufacture one on the cheap with nothing much more than PVC pipe and some wire.

I may lend a core2duo machine to the space that we can use as a streaming source client, and a raspberry pi that we can dedicate to always playing whatever is on the stream, that could be plugged in to speakers or eventually the FM transmitter.

I hope that is helpful.
