Tutturu is a project to streamline autonomous video publishing via podcasts and torrents from local media studio to your favorite video cms.

The practical aim is to build a Tutturu device that would be installed and configured once in a media studio, in order to provide an easy way of content publishing and workflow to interoperate with no dependence on a central institution or proprietary format.

The device itself consists of a software appliance based on the Ubuntu server (via turnkeylinux lamp), that is providing a shared folder in the local network from where content is being encoded, seeded and published on remote web site. Other parts of infrastructure include publication website (drupal) and separate tracker (currently being integrated into drupal module).

It is intended for sharing source material (usually licensed on a Creative Commons license) among artists and journalists. There might be other use scenarios of that system (say piracy) but first of all it is planed as a box installed in “free-culture” multimedia studio.
