Group Seeks Input on Open Source

You may have noticed a request on the PUBRADIO listserve last week from a group called PubForge - "a non-commercial group of volunteers working to develop a set of collaborative open-source tools to serve the needs of the public broadcasting community." They are looking for feedback on "what the current state of the art is in public media, what tools and resources are most needed, and what collective capabilities are available to draw upon to meet these needs through collaborative effort."

We inquired about the group and found that it includes individuals from North Country Public Radio, IMA Public Media Metrics project, KJZZ, WILL, KUSP, Wisconsin Public Radio, WUSF and Quiddites.

If you'd like to participate in their survey, it can be found at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=YuqPiksUlPgtrQa7MHlNfA_3d_3d.
