Galicaster is integrated in the [Opencast Matterhorn|http://www.opencastproject.org/matterhorn] project, an international, free, open-source effort on educational multimedia content from which we would benefit from, taking advantage of all the tools within to process and distribute educational material. Once settle in, we can edit and modify metadata, ingest Matterhorn Mediapackages, handle series of recordings ...
Other important feature of Galicaster is that we can control in realtime the parameters of the capture (proper recording, volume...), viewing in realtime what we are recording.
Galicaster is been developed with GStreamer, Python and GTK using Python bindings PyGST and PyGTK, so it is a heavy application fully based on free software.

Future improvements would make Galicaster capable of associate schedule recordings and synchronize the recordings afterwards.
