An Internet radio broadcast for the ITP community.
Michael Dory and I are spearheading the ITP Radio efforts for Fall 2007.
Goals for this semester:
- Incorporate telephony. Have call-in/call-out functionality.
- Increase usability of backend for DJs. This includes streamlining the Internet broadcast process and use of mixer.
- Make the ITP Radio web site better.
- Automate calendar for show schedules.
- More original content.
I met with Shawn today during his office hours, he helped me set up the ITP Radio phone number (which I will not post here but if you would like to give a call, contact me and I will send it to you.) We can now send/receive calls when Gizmo is running on the ITP Radio computer. Gizmo is a free softphone that anyone can download and install. It can be configured to work with an Asterisk server to make calls using the SIP protocol.
The next step in this process is to create a voice menu system so when people call ITP Radio, they will have a host of options!
