Digipup: A Linux live CD for amateur radio
Posted: May 3rd, 2007, 1:01pm MDT by StoneLion
LBL_TAG_TAGS: linux live cd ham radio [LBL_TAG_EDIT]
Puppy Linux is a lightweight live Linux distribution that you can boot and run from a CD, USB stick, or DVD. One of its features is the ability to create specialized "pups" -- new versions of Puppy Linux geared toward a specific purpose. Digipup is one such example, with a focus on amateur radio. I spun it up, and found Digipup to be a great way to check out amateur radio utilities for Linux.

WowWee's FlyTech Dragonfly reviewed
Posted: February 14th, 2007, 3:09pm MST by Donald Melanson
LBL_TAG_TAGS: robot dragonfly rc radio control [LBL_TAG_EDIT]
Filed under: Robots
We've already seen some first impressions of WowWee's newly-launched FlyTech Dragonfly "toy," but PC Magazine has now thankfully provided a slightly more in-depth review for those of us more curious about the little critter's capabilities. As you might expect, they found it to be "loads of fun," with easy to use controls and a surprisingly durable design, which helped the unit withstand a number of head-on collisions with the walls and floor. The unit's downsides are also about what you'd expect, with a wide open space with no wind pretty much required to fly it. They also found that it took a bit of effort to extract the charging cable from the Dragonfly's body, which you'll have to do fairly frequently as you'll only get about seven minutes of flying time on each charge. We somehow doubt that'll be a deal-breaker for most, however, especially given that it only costs fifty bucks.Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments

KRUU, open source radio
Posted: February 4th, 2007, 11:51pm MST by Mike Linksvayer
LBL_TAG_TAGS: open source radio cc kruu [LBL_TAG_EDIT]
KRUU in Fairfield, Iowa is a community radio station run on open source software. Richard Poynder recently profiled the station:
Moore’s use of the term “open radio” caught my attention. What, I wondered, did he mean?
Amongst other things, it seems, he meant that KRUU has made a commitment to use only Open Source software. As KRUU founder Roland Wells explained on Open Views, all KRUU’s PCs run on the GNU/Linux operating system, and the audio editing tools (Ardour and Audacity) used by DJs at the station are also Open Source. Likewise, the office suite used by Moore to administer the station (OpenOffice) is Open Source, and the station’s web site was built using Free BSD UNIX, and is hosted on the Open Source web server Apache.
By using Open Source solutions rather than proprietary software, Wells told KRUU listeners, the station has saved “tens of thousands of dollars”.
KRUU’s software philosophy seems to come from Open Views producer Sundar Raman and founder Roland Wells, as explained in the first broadcast of Open Views (which also features a short interview with me on Creative Commons; the program’s third broadcast features an hour on Creative Commons).
Sundar Raman has since interviewed a number of people involved in Open Source, Open Culture, and Open Science, including most recently John Wilbanks of Science Commons (not yet archived). You can also see Raman’s influence showing up in music programming, e.g., Dance Show Friday Night playing CC-licensed music from Jamendo.
Check out KRUU and Open Views!
Station manager James Moore adds:
Just thought you might like to know that since we began broadcasting last September, KRUU has offered a one-hour program seven days a week called The Open Source Radio Hour (5am-6am) featuring Creative Commons licensed material, primarily from jamendo.com or magnatune.com. so far.

Open source Campcaster empowers independent radio broadcasters
Posted: January 29th, 2007, 4:01am MST by StoneLion
LBL_TAG_TAGS: open source radio [LBL_TAG_EDIT]
Can you run a radio station entirely on free software? Thanks to Campcaster, broadcasters all over the world can answer that question with a yes. The open source radio station system plays a key role in enabling independent and community-owned media to compete with better-funded government and corporate outlets in emerging democracies.
