Although KOAC in Corvallis easily covers much of Eugene, some areas in the southern part of the city don't get a strong signal. KOPB serves to fill in those areas.
gollark: Plus inevitably there will be subtle incompatibilities and it won't be plug-and-play.
gollark: Is it going to just send a description of what to draw? In that case, lots of overhead and problems porting to different environments since for example each GUI framework will end up needing its own module communication layer.
gollark: For one thing, is a module just going to be allowed somehow to draw on the region of the screen it's meant to be set up for?
gollark: Yes it is.
gollark: These "modules", they could communicate over some sort of unified IPC framework with some standard format or whatever, but probably each language/framework would end up having to implement its own method of rendering what gets sent over.
