Conference of the Air? A Web Radio Station

This is an experimental, new element we are adding to the conference experience, especially in the mindset of expanding the reach beyond those present in Brisbane. With Open bring Everybody’s can we use internet radio to bring OEGlobal24 to everybody?

See a more detailed (aka lengthly) overview and rationale for what we are calling Conference of the Air.

Using an open source web radio station platform, provided for us by conference supporter Reclaim Hosting we have always on, at a single URL, something always to listen to – music, spoken word, live stream from the conference, recordings of past conference, and more.

It’s on right now! Just click any button on the radio

Do not be put of the smoke fire imagery or skull and cross-bones, these are playful reflections of the source of the radio station, the open web digital storytelling course/community course since 2011 called DS106.

The majority of time the default sounds on DS106 radio are being reflected from radio station WFMU (the original home of the Free Music Archive)

But starting with our pre-conference week activities Oct 28 and leading up to and during the Nov 13-15 OEGlobal conference, the schedule will be more and more populated by conference related content and what we ask the community here to contribute.
