Re: [backstage] Ping...
Well I'm still in BBC RD, trying to get a few loose ends tied up from the backstage days including this Dev Net thing. We're also still going strong on the technical outreach scheme, this year sending teams to the Newcastle maker Faire and the Big Bang Science Faire in London. With a non-BBC hat on I'm helping to organise the first UK Mini Maker Faire in Brighton on the 3rd of September. Should be a cracking day, so do visit, and if you'd like to find out more about joining in as a 'Maker' take a look at the website: http://www.makerfairebrighton.com/. ant On Sat, Jun 4, 2011 at 4:08 PM, Mo McRoberts m...@nevali.net wrote: On 3 Jun 2011, at 19:48, Kieran Kunhya wrote: I ended up stealing Mo's ideas about open source broadcast*, having read about them on this list, and am now working to get a similar concept** production ready and deployed at well known names in the US and Europe.. ...which is splendid, by the way — you've seem to have been able to put *far* more effort into OBE than I could ever have hoped to with txsuite.

It's a real world thing first off, then we figure what tools make sense to support it. Of course, if there's a strong community on a pre-existing platform or channel we could probably just plug into that.
