Re: [Hpr] Policy Change, Call to action for Host to Show ratio

Hi, all, Before listening to the community news today, I hadn't actually understood how people scrambling to post shows has been sort of hiding from the main feed how depleted the queue has actually been, and I see how that would lead to hosts not posting a show. I think it would be a good

Re: [Hpr] Policy Change, Call to action for Host to Show ratio

I agree with dnt. You listen to shoes like Ask Noah and they are doing the same (though not as good editing wise, or as funny) thing. I like the shows. brian-in -ohio On Tue, May 30, 2023 at 6:41 AM dnt wrote: > Hi, > > On this, I agree with the majority, that we don't need to change the >

Re: [Hpr] Policy Change, Call to action for Host to Show ratio

Hi, On this, I agree with the majority, that we don't need to change the current guideline into a hard rule, and it seems like it could exacerbate the problem of filling the queue. More importantly, I think it would do little to attract more shows by more contributors. I've thought a lot of

Re: [Hpr] Policy Change, Call to action for Host to Show ratio

I think it should be possible to keep "Ho No News", by changing the way the news sites are referenced. If you have a look at how ThreatWire by Shannon Morse does it, you can see how she navigates this issues. She paraphrases articles and keeps direct quotes to

Re: [Hpr] Policy Change, Call to action for Host to Show ratio

Sorry, brain fart on my part, I was not responding to the correct issue here. I have followed the guideline of no more than one show every two weeks for a few years now, and I think it is a good idea. And since the main issue is that there are not enough shows coming in, it is hard for me to see

Re: [Hpr] Policy Change, Call to action for Host to Show ratio

I'm a strong believer in the value of licenses like Creative Commons, and I take them seriously. If there is no way to continue the Oh No news without violating the license, then as much as I love it, I would vote to stop it. Is there absolutely no way of continuing it without a license violation,

Re: [Hpr] Policy Change, Call to action for Host to Show ratio

My personal thoughts on the topic have turned into 'meh'.  While this is probably not technically right(not a good thing when discussing amongst hackers and aspiring hackers), but I think the more rules you put on people who want to contribute shows, the more you push people off from wanting

Re: [Hpr] Policy Change, Call to action for Host to Show ratio

Hi All, Can you please respond to this policy change, as it stands this is something that we should not implement. Also please send in some shows this weekend as we're going to be moving to the static site soon and it would be great to have the queue full. Ken. On 2023-05-12 11:14, Ken

Re: [Hpr] Policy Change, Call to action for Host to Show ratio

We still need more shows from people that have not posted this year. What appears to be a "recording spree", is in fact people rushing to post something to the queue to urgently fill a vacant slot. This is undesirable for many reasons: * Chasing the queue leads to burnout. The stress of

Re: [Hpr] Policy Change, Call to action for Host to Show ratio

I agree with minnix. Fewer rules make for easier compliance for the content creator. If we want to maximize incoming content, we should take what we can, when we can, whenever the content provider wants. If that means we have a week of just one host on a recording spree, that's OK. People

Re: [Hpr] Policy Change, Call to action for Host to Show ratio

Hi All, Thanks to all who sent in shows, but we still need more shows. I am specifically looking for contribution from people who do not have 2023-??-?? as their "Last Show" on this page https://hackerpublicradio.org/correspondents.php --- The following is taken with permission from the

Re: [Hpr] Policy Change, Call to action for Host to Show ratio

Hi Ken et al I have a show that just needs an edit so I will do that now. I already understood from somewhere that more than one show per fornight was frowned upon. Don't recall from where exactly. So that guideline is fine by me. One suggestion for increasing diversity: invites someone you

Re: [Hpr] Policy Change, Call to action for Host to Show ratio

Hi Ken I am one of the many occasional contributors who is always (and genuinely) "just about" to put a show together. Slapped wrist accepted, will do better. We are very fortunate that the prolific hosts generally put out such excellent, well-presented shows. Could there, perhaps, be some

[Hpr] Policy Change, Call to action for Host to Show ratio

Hi All, First , *w**e need shows immediately* as there is an empty queue next week, and the number of Emergency/Reserve shows are also dwindling. So please finish that show you were thinking of submitting and send it in. If you don't care when it's released please put "Use as Emergency show"
