Newsletter: Networking, Studios & Driving Lessons

Dear users

The topics of this community newsletter are:

• ++ PLATFORM – new network functions
• ++ STUDIOS – new rules for using them
• ++ DRIVING LESSONS – upcoming dates

++ PLATFORM – new network functions
Right next to “Activities” in the user profile views you now find a “Playlist”-listing. With this you can also look for playlists of specific users. Also new is the search function with search box for playlists of users and groups. The list of users you’ll find in the “Network” module under “Contacts” and there under “Browse All Users”, the list of groups under “Browse All Groups”. Users can be searched for by either their personal name or the user name.

++ STUDIOS – new rules for using them
Since July we don’t provide any more technical support. The existing studio infrastructure, however, can still be used for free. This means that users may broadcast live shows at any time so long as they organize and provide the technical support as well as the presentation (moderation) themselves.

Studios and broadcasting times can be booked on the platform under “Play Live on Open Broadcast”. Our former studioteam members Basil Kneubühler, Andalus Liniger and Philip Schmassmann are open for support requests. Your requests reach us via send(at)openbroadcast.ch.

++ DRIVING LESSONS – next date
Come September we will be at your disposal again!

* Thu, 9/2, 6 – 8 pm: Basel, Digital Station, Utengasse 15
* Tue, 9/7. 6 – 8pm, Zurich, Kafi fürDich, Stauffacherstrasse 141

Cordially,
Your Open Broadcast Team
