Everybody can participate on RadioTux. All topics are welcome: there are no limits.The site of the project is based on a wiki, which means that anyone can use his/her web browser to enhance the contents of the pages by editing them. This makes it really easy for everyone to participate.

Internal communication works over a mailing list, which is open for everyone to listen in.

Radio on demand

Shows are produced on a monthly basis. Several volunteers are involved in this process, They include reports, essays, interviews and free music. Depending on the material these shows take 30 to 60 minutes. Users interested in the information only can download a stripped down version without music.

The shows are available in MP3 as well as in the free Ogg/Vorbis format.

Up to now (July 2008) more than 80 shows have been produced. Some of them have been broadcasted live at the Berlin radio station.

On the website everyone may leave suggestions for upcoming shows.

Podcasts

When RadioTux started, podcasts were not yet known, so it can be considered being one of the first podcasts which came up and which is still existing.

Single articles and interviews are made available as podcast. So current news are instantly available. Due to categorisation users can subscribe to the newsfeeds of topics they are interested to and load them directly to MP3 player. This compatibility with current mobile playback devices is the reason why the podcast uses the MP3 format.

RadioTux often participates at Linux and similar events and reports live. Live broadcasts as comprehensive programming have been transmitted from LinuxTag [LinuxTag: [http://www.linuxtag.org/2006/en/besucher/programm/freies-vortragsprogramm/samstag-talkid-323.html A lecture on podcasting and RadioTux] ] , the Linux World Conference & Expo and the Chemnitzer Linux-Tage.
