With over 1,000 users over its 14 month life at RPI, Concerto had made the process of sharing graphical and text-based announcements, notices, and alerts on flat panel television screens across campus easy, simple, and fun.</p> <p>Concerto employs innovative, creative methods that differentiate it from most other digital signage software in the world.&nbsp; Designed to get everyone involved in community-wide communication, Concerto groups digital messages into feeds, content categories that are based on context.&nbsp; Moderation is handled not by a single group of moderators, but many.&nbsp; And each Concerto display - whether a physical flat panel television or a virtual screensaver on a laptop - can look completely different, pull a very different mix of feeds that is most applicable to the person or people looking at it, and receive notifications that are based on location and audience.&nbsp;</p> <p>Concerto was implemented in PHP, MySQL, HTML, CSS, and jQuery Javascript by a completely volunteer team.&nbsp; The next step in Summer 2009 is to jumpstart the development community through <a href="http://concerto-signage.com">Concerto-Signage.com</a>, a website at the core of the design efforts, support resources, and greater vision of the open source project.&nbsp; For now, until that site launches, the code is distributed freely under the GNU Public License (v2.0).</p> <p>The Concerto Project's flagship network at <a href="http://rpi.edu">RPI</a> can be accessed at <a href="http://concerto.rpi.edu">concerto.rpi.edu</a>.</p> Concerto is an open source digital signage network that is taking the RPI advertising scene by storm.
