On Open Source Media
The topic, Open Source media, encompasses a lot: open source media
technologies from web design with free content management systems to
audio and video editing on Linux, broadcasting with free software, but
also: open content and open source media activism, music and arts;
whatever is an artistic, technological and philosophical alternative
to proprietary media technology and distribution. If you are working

Zwart people, for example, plan to speak about video editing with
Cinelerra and open source audio/video streaming.
