Miro hackfest in Boston

I live in Somerville, MA, USA and I'd like to organize a Miro hackfest in or near Boston. Possible topics for that hackfest include:

I was thinking we'd do the hackfest sometime in June. Possibly as part of FUDCon10 or in the vicinity.

If you're interested and/or have ideas, find me on IRC, email me, comment below, or send me telepathic messages of hope.

If I could ask for one thing for Miro it would be to decouple the front and back ends so that a Miro server could be run headlessly on a server and connected to with Miro Client to playback the videos there. The two could be packaged together for normal users so it would appear to work identically to the way it does at the moment but the two could also be installed separately if required.

Harry: With the work that Ben did for Miro 1.2, it should be possible to write a headless front end. The thing is that these things don't happen magically--they need someone to work on them. So if you're interested in doing some hacking, I'm game for helping out where I can.

Three things:

  1. New comments get placed in a "draft" status and will NOT show up on the site until I explicitly approve it. Sometimes that happens within 24 hours.
  2. I reserve the right to reject/remove inappropriate comments.
  3. Sometimes I'll reply to a comment directly in email--so make sure your email address is correct.

If you can't for some reason post a comment, send me an email: willg at bluesock dot org.
