University-originated; ideal for multi-user community moderation. Self-Hosted DIY open source digital signage

You have an IT department: If your team already manages Linux servers, adding Xibo is trivial.
You need air-gapped security: Government buildings, military bases, or secure labs that cannot connect to the public cloud. Open source runs entirely offline.
You have more than 50 screens: At scale, $10-$20 per screen per month becomes a massive line item. A $5,000 server and a part-time sysadmin is cheaper.
You want custom features: You have an internal ERP system. You want the signage to show live inventory levels. With open source, you can hack the source code to do exactly that.
