I hope I'm not shooting myself in the foot here, but I am certain that I'm not the only person intent on actually selling boxes with freevo in them.
The remote update idea is great. I've already worked on that idea from a retailers perspective (Blocking stolen machines, et.c.). But riddle me this; Q: What's the difference between Redhat corp. and the loosely knitted freevo community? A: Redhat knows it's company :-)= What I mean is that if one found a model (and I don't have one right on the top of my head - but that doesn't mean we can't find one) for developing, distributing and supporting freevo in a commercial manner, everybody could benefit. I'm thinking something along the lines of developers getting kickbacks for every _commercially sold_ system, support organizations (or individuals) sell support 'packages' (6 mo/1 yr) to the retailers (myself included :) which resell them to the customers who funds the whole shebang. I have absolutely no idea whether a) Anyone would want anything like this, b) If it is at all legal, Gnu-wise. ALl I know is that every hardware company on earth is dropping something freevo-like on the market at the moment and freevo kicks the butt of everything I've seen - with a few features missing here and there (SAT-card reader stuff, for instance) - but oh, the configurability. Now, go ahead and call me names :) Respectfully, Peter. -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: Robert Rozman Till: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Skickat: 2003-10-13 21:36 Ämne: [Freevo-devel] Internet update/plugin selection framework for Freevo ? Hello, I've been thinking about some proper way/system to solve problem of user friendliness and remote updates/plugins selections through some easier interfaces in Freevo. I'm speech recognition researcher and use CSLU Speech tookit. They have web update service, where user remotely update or select/deselect current software modules. I'm sure that when Freevo is coming to more mature state where core wouldn't be so much in development and a lot of plugins will arise - we need some easy way of doing this. Any thoughts, ideas, code in this direction? Is twisted right framework for the job? Are there any other possibilities under Python ?
