MediaGoblin Monthly Meeting

When: Monthly meetings are no longer occurring. This page is left for historical purposes.

Where: IRC #mediagoblin on irc.freenode.net

Always announced several days in advance on the mailing list as is date adjustments, agenda discussion and other meeting preparation.

Purpose: The idea is to discuss the past month, what happened, what was good, what should be done better. And to create roadmap for the upcoming month and assign tasks to people willing to handle them.

Typical Agenda topics:

  • What happened in the last month, what was good, what could be better next time?
  • What should be done next month?

Meetings are logged. See below for logs of each meeting.

    Congrats to Deb from the mediagoblin team! Congrats de Deb!

     Fundraising campaign 

     Keeping things going mid-campaign 

     You have questions?  I have answers, kinda :) 

     Getting new contributors involved 

     Plugins?  New features? 

-- http://wiki.mediagoblin.org/Meeting#Next_Meeting
Fundraising stuff
Things are going great mostly when people check it out!
But how to spread the word?

    should contact more podcasts, etc

    currently working with FSF on this

    need community to spread the word!

    List of places already spreaded list and contacted

VideoThumbnailerMarkII
New video thumbnailer, rewritten to try to eliminate a bug in the old one where processing would stall.
New bugs introduce (of course ;)
Collections
Merged - Thanks aaronw!
WebOb => Werkzeug switch
Made some things break. Need help with testing + bugfixes
borked stuffs:

    Accessing paths without trailing slashes, e.g. /submit (instead of /submit/)

    Still a lot of legacy WebOb responses (such as webob.exc.HTTPFound() HTTPForbidden() left)

API
Delivered to mrn.is, tryggvib will test it and get back with feedback.
Working, still a lot of room for improvements.
Mostly done, usable, still room for improvements. Example applications:

  • Plugins and themes! Who's working on one? What problems are you having? -- Please write up issues for problems so they can get fixed!
  • Should we namespace plugins? If so, how should we namespace plugins?
    • Python 3.3 will have support for namespace plugins. [1]
    • In Python >=2.3, <3.3 it's a hack [2][3]

IRC log

  • docs changes
    • Will split the docs/ guide into a Site Administrator's Guide and a Plugin Writer's Guide
    • Has anyone looked at the Plugin Writer's Guide, yet?
    • Will wants to add a "Contributor's Guide" to docs/ which he'd update from the wiki before every release
  • Is there a way to improve our unit tests and motivation to write them?
    • Simulating a browser by the way of PhantomJS, Selenium instead of having code simulating other code against itself might be more natural to write and even more testing the actual application. I have a good feeling about this, please prove me wrong if I'd be. --Joar 08:53, 28 May 2012 (EDT)

  • We plan to create a plugin system. Do we want to create that soon or push it off until things settle a bit more? (Willkg 08:54, 10 November 2011 (EST))
  • Feature Ideas: What should we do about the wiki page? Keep it and have it as a monthly topic for "what next"? Convert everything to long waiting bugs?
  • Possibility of an SQL Database Backend?
    'executive summary' (well, you should read the long docs): "We could move to sql. It's probably replacing one type of pain by another type of pain, but those are somewhat comparable. Leaving the main question: Do we want to occupy our main devs for some long time with this task and loose momentum?"
  • Schendje's activities proposal
  • "Coming up next" blogpost draft by Deb Nicholson
  • Jef's requests:
    • Ticket #466 "Use of "Submit" in site copy is sterile and not as friendly and welcoming as it could be". I'd really like to change this soon to something more suitable. How can we improve the wording here? Some alternatives have been mentioned in the bug report, but which one should we pick? Link: http://bugs.foocorp.net/issues/466
    • The concept and naming of "favourites". We'll (hopefully) be able to "favourite" media soon, which I *think* means that 1) it'll work like a "I like this" comment, a quick token of appreciation, 2) it'll be added to your list of favourites so you can save and promote it, and 3) we could maybe use the number of favourites as a ranking. What I'd like to know is: is that the intended purpose? If so, should we name them favo(u)rites or something else? "Like", "love", "save", "appreciate", "heart", "high five" and many more could all be contenders. And the name should be consistent with the action and purpose, of course. So I'd like to clear up how and why we will use favourites and what we should call them.

  • What happened in the last month, what was good, what could be better next time?
    • Release:
      • Good: 0.1.0 released!
      • Bad: postponing vs not postponing
    • Sites and deployment documentation:
      • Good: new mediagoblin.org
      • Good: deployment documentation
      • Bad: py-bcrypt’s site was down just after the release, so the virtualenv deployment didn’t work, and it wasn’t clear how to fix it.
    • Live instances:
      • Joar has a live instance!
      • But what does it mean? Should ordinary users start using it?
      • nyergler added a note about "heartbeat"/status to API notes
  • What should be done next month?
  • Starting real work on federation (via OStatus)... and do we split any of this work out into its own library?
  • An API
  • Creative Commons licensing tools
  • Merging in the multimedia/video branch
    (this is *very close* already actually thanks to the hard work of Joar Wandborg! But we need some help on the gstreamer front to fix a few issues... if you or someone you know is an expert in this area we could really use their help to make the videos that come out smoother!)
  • Rollover items from 0.1.0
  • Multiple file upload interface
  • Drag and drop uploads interface (probably related!)

This month's meeting was a quickly announced short meeting. The project is getting back on track and next month's meeting will be scheduled more properly. A bunch of people were around.

The most important decisions:

  • The project will keep monthly releases. They're the heartbeat of the project.
  • Release 0.1.0 this sunday/monday.
  • New website will hopefully be deployed in the next few days.
  • And the following things are planned to happen during this month: Most importantly federation. The developers have decided to make up their minds on what federation aactually should mean for MediaGoblin. Concerning code, probably "activity streams" are the first goal. If there is no (good) python library for this, a new stand alone library may be created. If so, a name for it has to be found. It should have something about communication in it. And the other thing to happen during this month is an ongoing discussion about "bus factor".
