I maintain a reference implementation of this: http://www.scribblethink.org/Work/VisualIDs/visualids.html ... including some patches for Nautilus (which may or may not apply cleanly to the latest version...). So I could talk about that, soem of the and ideas research behind it, experiences with different application-domains, the toolkits that I use in libvisualid (GLib and Cairo) and why, what it took to hook it into different applications.... I became the maintainer for this about 2 years ago: http://www.foxtrotgps.org/ So I guess I could talk about managing (or taking over) a smallish FOSS project, dealing with contributions (both helpful and unhelpful), etc. I've spent a fair amount of time hacking on StatusNet over the last year, along with running a few small StatusNet sites. After I built the home audio system, my wife wanted me to make a portable version for her, so I ported (the relevant parts of) the system to run on OpenWRT and put together a firmware-image for the Qi Hardware Nanonote <http://en.qi-hardware.com/wiki/Ben_NanoNote>. (`the relevant parts' are obviously not the `whole-home' part, but are things like ReplayGain and dynamic-range compression, intelligent playlist-generation, scripting MPD; Ogg Vorbis vs. MP3....) > I could discuss my tri-amp audio system implemented using Jack and > FOSS DSP crossover, eq, and metering. You've got my attention. :) -- "Don't be afraid to ask (λf.((λx.xx) (λr.f(rr))))." _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
