• Video Streaming

  Looking into the different methods of streaming, in particular Open-Source tools such as the VideoLAN Project and the Darwin Streaming Server (APSL). Current applicable areas include video archival of Compsoc events, live broadcast of Flirt FM using Icecast and bringing a reliable and easily usable streaming system to Brockman for all clubs and societies.

• Societies Website

  The Societies website is hand coded using OO-PHP and is used by 70+ NUI, Galway societies on a daily basis. It allows each society to login and manage their own profile and mailing-list from year to year and builds massively upon the Mailman Mailing List Manager command line tools. It also includes extensive content management capability for the Societies Office. It is regarded as one of the most dynamic and lively websites inside the University.

The list of projects continues to grow over time especially when members are free of exams and projects for a few weeks.
