== Description ==

""
The XORadio would use the mic., music player(jukebox), wifi, telepathy, PyGTK.
The above H/W and S/W would be used to implement a radio for the XO since the XO doesn't have a radio.
It would lead to personalized radio channels on the XO mesh network.
The XOJockey would broadcast himself/herself through the wlan/wifi component of the XO.
The listeners would not only listen to the radio but would also act as nodes to extend the range of the radio/network.

== Features ==

#The XORadio would provide one way communication between the broadcaster and the listeners.
#If required we could allow broadcasters' and the listeners to communicate though a chat program(IM,voice,video) to increase the interactiveness of the activity.
#Also, such a communication would only be established on the broadcasters behest!
#The listeners could also download the radio data for later/offline listening.
#Advertisers would be allowed to advertise on XORadio. The money generated through the advertisement would be distributed.Some could go to OLPC and the rest to the XOJockey.
#Govt. Agencies would be allowed to broadcast important info./news in the form of tweets on all channels.

This would encourage local talent!

== Technology ==

#PyGTK+ for the GUI
#Telepathy and Dbus Tubes for mesh networking

== Future ==

#The camera could also be used to broadcast video!
#To increase it global outreach, XOJockeys connected to the internet could also transmit radio on the web.The web/server would also allow the data to be stored for later/offline listening!
