Full Description: 

We propose a 2-part workshop that consists in the presentation of the Flujos-Vivos CD and a lab that will involve a collaboration to produce a radio streaming using the Flujos-Vivos CD freeware. The Flujos Vivos-CD is an operating system completely integrated by Freeware based on the Debian distribution and is oriented toward the publication and transmission of audio on the Internet. It was created by the Flujos collective in collaboration with other collectives and autonomous spaces and individuals from free media collectives in Mexico. It makes available diverse applications that facilitates any kind of work related to audio and the Internet, from navigating the Web or using instant messaging, editing audio, converting audio formats, extracting audio from CD's, and of course Internet streaming. One of the principle characteristics of a live-CD is that the operating system is prepared for use directly from the CD without the need to undertake any kind of installation or to modify the hard disk drive of your computer. Flujos-Vivos was created as an instrument of support for free radios, a tool to create a radio that transmits on teh Internet; all on one CD. Flujos-Vivos is still in development, therefore the tests that we perform in different teams helps us to improve its performance. We're proposing not just a workshop but also a laboratory of testing that consists of accomplishing a streaming of radios and collaborating with the development of Flujos-Vivos.
