Abstract

Radio's not dead!

TU Dublin's student radio society has revived itself after a few years of inactivity. In this talk I'll discuss how we got our new beginning as an internet radio station and our migration to becoming fully open source and independent with the help of our computer science society

I will will discuss the challenges of self-hosting internet radio software like Azuracast and Icecast, running an active student society, getting your station out there in the college, and overcoming challenges student societies face post COVID.

Ari Carmody

Hiya! I'm Ari Carmody (they/them), I'm a university student from Ireland and I love student societies!

I'm crazy about FOSS and won't stop trying to convince my friends to switch to Linux.

As treasurer (and unofficial sysadmin) of TU Dublin's Radio Society I've worked hard to keep our internet radio station free, open source, and independent.

I believe that open source software is an incredible resource for students and I want to encourage more people my age to really care about the software they use every day.
