Note: This is an old post in a blog with a lot of posts over a long span of time. The world has changed, technologies have changed, and I've changed. It's likely this is out of date, the code doesn't work, the ideas haven't aged well, or the ideas were terrible to begin with. Let me know if you think this is something that needs updating.

Miro status

Will:

  • talked with Janet about translations

  • worked on gtk/gstreamer overhaul

Geoffrey:

  • working on sharing feeds and podcasts--now merged

  • fixed some bugs in Miro

Janet:

  • testing devices

  • talked with Nick about working out what 4.1 will look like

  • worked on figuring out the future of the build boxes

Jonas:

  • worked on WinSparkle-related changes

Kaz:

  • fixing problems with the metadata extractor

Ben:

  • away for a few days

  • working on getting the gtk/gstreamer overhaul stuff Will did running. gstreamer on Windows seems to require directshow and that somehow requires 3d support which sucks on VirtualBox.

  • will continue working on gtk/gstreamer overhaul

  • will continue working on itemfilter branch

Order of business:

  • We might do a 4.0.4, but only to fix issues with Miro Mobile.

  • Talked about future of build boxes. Janet's been working on a wiki page for it at: http://develop.participatoryculture.org/index.php/BuildBoxHosting

  • Talked about process questions:

    • moving the Miro repository to Github

      • Will and Paul will work on moving the Miro repository to Github

    • Ben wants to start doing one-on-one developer chats

    • we want to change workflows to require more peer review

      • Ben will create a peer review qiki page

  • Miro is developed by a community of people including you! If you can't contribute your time and work to development, testing, and translations, please consider contributing funding by donating. Your money goes directly to ongoing development of Miro and related projects like Miro Community and Universal Subtitles. See http://pculture.org/about/ for more details on these projects.

  • Did you know there's a Miro User Manual? If you haven't looked at it yet, it's worth taking a look at. You can find it at http://manual.getmiro.com/ .
