Hi, You probably don't know me because I'm a MythTV developer. It was long ago that I made the decision between using freevo or MythTV. While I preferred the freevo UNIXy design philosophy over MythTV's kitchen sink, it had preliminary ATSC support at the time...
Anyway, I'm going to be at a mini meeting on a new UI library based on KDE's libplasma. The meeting is being sponsored by Pluto Home, Inc. Who I know through my involvement with the LinuxMCE project. The idea behind this new UI library is to write a fully themable UI that can be used as a standalone UI, and more importantly for freevo it will be usable as an OSD renderer. The library will be GPLed and linkable to a variety of programs and will also be usable as a separate application which can receive commands from something like python or perl. There is a description of the goals here: http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/UI3 This is written in business speak, but feel free to ask me any technical questions. My question for this list is whether anyone here would be interested in attending the meeting on Saturday (near Mountain View, CA). Especially if you are a graphics programmer who knows the internals of how freevo handles the OSD, or a graphics designer with flash authoring experience. Even if you can't attend, I would be interested in what freevo developers think are essential, desirable, and horrid features for this type of library to have. If you would like to attend the meeting e-mail me privately. Otherwise I can answer questions here. BTW I'm sorry if I have violated list etiquette, I don't read this list regularly, but think this might be of interest to the freevo devs. -- Daniel ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
