Hi Candela, thanks for forwarding this invitation. I am well aware, that, given our project succeeds and reaches its goals, it can be of some use not only for indie film making but also for all sorts of activism, because it's free software, will work smoothly with not patent threatened codecs and support an effective workflow (hopefully...) But, putting our personal political preferences aside, for the project as a whole I think it's much better not to be affiliated directly to any political organisation or movement (maybe besides associations fighting against software patents or the like). It will likely be more beneficial to the project, if it is able to address a broader range of potential users, without e.g. scaring off people well rooted within the media industry, which will certainly be not amused by a movement to "take back technology from the monolithic proprietary soft-o-crats..." Besides, another consideration comes into mind. Seemingly, the project is not advanced enough to provide such isolated tasks, which could well be treated completely within 5 months *and* yield satisfactory results for the person participating. At the moment, within the realm of coding, we have much tasks which are partially demanding, but don't deliver much satisfaction on their own. To give an example: if the development of Lumiera were more advanced, you could think of making a special "news production workbench", meaning to provide some plugins, customisation, macros, keybindings and project templates plus write a tutorial. Cheers, Hermann V. - --------- Btw: we need people helping with the Lumiera website! -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFIJa9yZbZrB6HelLIRAmUiAKDW1vHtazFlnmqjGQkDR08X/zlxaQCeLI6w BEmc3ED7dfUaVhH8SpZOIqM= =Jfb1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Cinelerra mailing list [email protected] https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
