  • This month's edition of Linux Journal (issue 155) has a column about
    Campcaster. It goes like this:

    "Campware has released Campcaster 1.1, an open-source radio
    broadcasting system that runs on Linux (Debian and Ubuntu, so far) and
    is made to scale from individuals to staffed stations to multiple
    stations in a network.
    Features include:

    - Live, in-studio playout
    -Web-based remote station management
    -Automation
    -Playlists
    -Centralized program material archives
    -Fast playback (using Gstreamer)
    -Program sharing
    -Search-based backup
    -Localization
    -Open,extensible architecture (including extensive use of XML-RPC APIs)

    Campcaster is the latest open-source product from Campware, an
    initiative that supports independant news and media organizations in
    emerging democracies. Other products are Campsite (multilingual news
    publishing), Cream (customer relationship management or CRM) and Dream
    (newspaper distribution management). Find links to all and more at
    campware.org

    If you are interested in Campcaster, you also may want to look at
    Rivendell, a heavy-duty radio broadcast automation system developed by
    Salem Radio Labs, a division of Salem Communications, which owns one
    of the largest chains of radio stations in the US. In addition to
    Rivendell, Salem Radio Labs has a pile of Linux-based open-source
    products. Many are in use outside the US as well. Find them at
    salemradiolabs.com

    Although Campware is focused on emerging democracies and Salem Radio
    Labs is focused on the Christian broadcasting community, goods
    produced by both are wide open for anybody to use."
