My project idea: Title: librman [http://code.google.com/p/librman/] Skill set required: python, working with ID3 tags, writing plugins for popular media players Description: librman helps physically arrange your mp3 library. it should also support other formats that have meta information like ID3 tags. the tool also monitors your library (at file system level) and updates id3 information according to changes in filesystem. Need: the tool already manages ID3 tags in some form. monitoring folder and tweaking library information needs to be done. it needs to be packaged as a plugin for popular music players like rythmbox, banshee, amarok, so that it can have an actual use-case. Features: arrange music physically according to tag information monitor physical directories for changes in tag information package as plugin for popular music players Compatibility: Should work with all major music players for linux distributions can later be ported to other platforms as well *** on the other hand, i have some inputs for the planned activity as well. i am not sure if this is the right place for it, now. 1. i, personally, do not prefer glamorous names like "HackerNight". What we are doing is a Hackathon/BOF/Sprint (see there are already too many names for the same thing). I suggest simply calling it a Sprint or some other existing name of organiser's preference; helps avoid a lot of confusion. 2. is this a one time activity, or will it happen regularly over time ? 3. a venue with infrastructure for such offline access is going to be a problem, especially since it is going to be overnight. i might have missed it in the discussions, but do we have it covered? 4. aside: at drupal 7 release party, pratul and I built fossprojects.in as a directory of indigenous projects (partly inspired by fossevents.in and partly interested in building a sample website with drupal during the event). since then its just lying around with me and pratul not focussing on it much. it can be a good platform to organise list such projects, vote on them, join teams and develop. -- Kinshuk Sunil +919910024895 -- LUG@IITD - http://lug-iitd.org/Footer
