[Imc-india] Confusion about streaming projects at the WSF in Mumbai

[max]

I'm very interested in participating in the radio projects, but I don't 
know much about how these things work.
what sort of content was featured at WSF's in the past?

I have radio experience at the community radio station where I live, 
but don't know much about the tech end of streaming audio.

I will be in Mumbai starting Jan. 8
