Hello all, As part of an effort to have an active free software development programme at Sarai, we, as in the FOSS people at Sarai, are looking to integrate ourselves into (a) internal practices at Sarai, particularly audio/video production, and publication in Indian languages, including English, (b) the local FOSS community in Delhi, and in India, and (c) the real world outside, in terms of deployment of Indic, and other open-source software.
To start with the easiest thing, we are specifically targetting audio/video production practices at CyberMohalla, and at Sarai. This has been tried in the past, but practitioners are frustrated at problems with the open-source applications that seem never to get resolved, and are on the verge of switching to Windows/Mac. Towards this end, I have prepared a list of open-source applications, and a plan of action at http://indlinux.org/wiki/index.php/CM_Multimedia However, I have next to no familiarity with open-source tools in this area, and would appreciate help in this regard. Please follow up here, email me privately, or edit the Wiki page directly (in order to edit the page you will need to register via the link at the top right). Please note that we are interested in a focussed approach that approaches a resolution in 3-5 months time. So, please tell us about stuff that you have direct experience with, and not something that you have heard about, or happened to come across. Also, anybody in the NCR region with experience in any of these tools, particularly Blender, and with some time to spare, is cordially invited to stop by Sarai, and talk to us. Regards, Gora _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
