| JAROMIL http://www.dynebolic.org Free software programmer and streaming media pioneer, media artist and activist, performer and emigrant. Jaromil (RASTASOFT.org) is an italian GNU/Linux programmer, author and mantainer of three free softwares and a operating system: MuSE (for running a web radio), FreeJ (for veejay and realtime video manipulation), HasciiCam (ascii video streaming) and dyne:bolic the bootable CD running directly without requiring installation, a popular swiss army knife in the fields of production and broadcasting of information. All his creations are freely available online under the GNU General Public License (Free Software Foundation). He is a featured artist in CODeDOC II (Whitney Museum's artport NY), Read_Me 2.3 (software art @ runme.org), negotiations 2003 (Toronto CA), I LOVE YOU (MAK Frankfurt). Artworks include the software running Sophisticated Soiree (ZKM/intermedium02 award), the net-art piece FARAH, the theater performance TUBOCATODICO. Collaborations include: Ars Electronica Center / Futurelab, PUBLIC VOICE Lab, Giardini Pensili, digitalcraft.org, 01001.org, August Black, [epidemiC], Florian Cramer, 92v2.0, LOA hacklab, Freaknet Medialab, CandidaTV, the Mitocondri, the HackMeeting community. Version 1.0 of dynEbolic, the 'portable' Linux distribution, is out. It's portable in that it runs directly from the CD, on every PC-compatible machine. The set of software and features is impressive: automatic hardware detection, streaming, p2p, web navigation and publishing, email, encryption and even clustering, that is, the possibility to share the power of one's own CPU with other computers running dynEbolic on the same local network. This set of tools has been assembled to satisfy the needs of media activists, both newbies and 'professional'. This triumph of free software is yet another proof of the great power of the most democratic and socially sustainable model of development ever created by the self-regulation of programmers. This added value is fundamental to comprehend the two most prominent characteristics of this awesome work: the high portability and the complete transparency of the means of production. For example, the clustering feature is available even on modified X-Box consoles dynEbolic runs on with no problems at all, amusingly defined by the slogan 'El calculo unido jamas serà vencido'. dynEbolic has been developed by a large group of programmers from all around the world, coordinated by Jaromil and united under the name Rasta Software. |
