Hey everyone!

David and I did some brainstorming on what we thought might make a good
topic list. Of course we should stick to topics that attendees will want and
also that people are willing to present. This list is just a start and might
actually be too much for a short 1.5-2 day quick hands-on style event. Here
goes anyway...

Who?
 -LPFMs with a CP and a lot to figure out to make it happen.

Why?
 -To jumpstart as many LPFM stations primarily from a technical
   standpoint.
 -Possible barn-raising of the "host" station and barn raising "shared
   experience" where "off barn" participants also leave with something
   tangible (e.g., hardware, thumb drives, etc.)  -Education, education,
education!
 -This is more of a hands-on workshop than the semi-annual GRC
   get-togethers

What?

Technical
 -From Microphone to Antenna: What equipment and how to connect it.
   *what goes where in the audio chain
   *what is an "audio chain"?
   *best practices for wiring
   *equipment lists
 -Regulatory requirements (see below for more)
   *EAS
   *signal
   *Etc.

Production
 -Basic audio editing using Audacity
 -Pressing the big red button. or How to use a studio!
 -What is Rivendell Automation: From traffic logging to source
   switching.
 -News Gathering
 -Etc.

Management
 -Volunteer practices, agreements, and handbooks  -Management structures
-Etc.

Legal
 -Station requirements
 -filings
 -Public File
 -political issues
 -Logs
 -allowable language on air
 -advertisement vs underwriting announcement  -Royalties
   *BMI, ASCAP, Sesac
   *SoundExchange (streaming)
 -Etc.

Where/When?
