Hey all I submitted the following proposal for a talk to the Ohio Linux Fest
LibreTime: a free and open-source web-based radio station automation system
LibreTime started as a fork of Airtime when the company behind the development team decided to focus exclusively on their Saas (software as a service offering). Volunteer developers at community radio stations formed the LibreTime project to keep the open-source version of the software alive.
LibreTime has a PHP & JavaScript front-end and uses Python, OCaml & Icecast on the backend. It provides a web-based automation system that allows stations to program their station as well as do live broadcasting. It is used at local community radio stations such as WCRS-LP and Radio614 and by other stations around the globe. This talk will begin with the process of forking the project and then provide a overview of how the software works for the end-user. As time allows we will glance into the code to reveal the challenges of working with complex software built by people no longer active with the project.
I’m not sure if my talk will be accepted but I thought I’d let other people working on the project know that I maybe presenting on LibreTime, Ohio Linux fest takes place in October here in Columbus, Ohio.
