Short Description: 

This workshop will explain how free103point9 will use the open-source Asterisk software, and other streaming software, to create a radio station taking live phone calls on a toll-free number of the protests surrounding the political conventions this summer, and how it can be used at other events and shared by many media outlets. Panelists include Ryan Holsopple, who has used Asterisk in art projects, and Lee Azzarello, a software developer and system administrator who has worked with Asterisk.
