hello

back, good and you ?

now temperature here in country side is good

why denomination open source cinema and not free source cinema ?

well, free sounds like give-away, and nowadays, that mostly means that you get something without paying for it, but that's it

(like free beer)

but we want to be 'open' in many ways

well, with ´libre´ we can give an accent to the nomination

yes, I understand they are the principles of free software

but I think is possible to give a ´revolutionary´ terminology... aditional one :)

free open source

yes

especially as hardware cannot be copied for basically nothing

yes of course

yes, a lot of stuff will be possible with 3D replication in the near future

for example, the lens mount is a good example

yes

but not only this part probably where to mount the hw

yes

I met some of them , they won some competition on 3d printing

well, bring them in, get them interested in axiom or other apertus stuff :)

they are very good people

enthusiastic too

we have a version of the lens mount

this of the lens mount is a very crutial thing

I think they are very very good old russian lenses and not expensive at all

but this is probably too soon

those are basically the steps for the prototype and the current status

why linux-vserver.org ?

yes, I am, but actually I jsut had it open

oh, good

ah

he is very very good in hw

luca barbato is his name

he is a ffmpeg dev too

I think can also be interesting for software developpment

sure, any help and any interested person is welcome

I ll talk to him tomorrow

let me check

is possible to take a look ?

or not yet ?

with calm

maybe, no idea here, you have to contact sebastian for that stuff

https://github.com/apertus-open-source-cinema/alpha-hardware/tree/master/Nikon-F-Mount

they were very interested in blender project, the national institut of cinema of india wanted to use blender for the special effects

they are very up to free software free knowledge

yeah, blender is a nice tool and the foundation makes interesting movies

well the movies they do are not interesting :) they are technically interesting :)

anyway the indians are very up to share knowledge, in fact they had done the traditional knwoledge data base

all of this due to they can not stand that sanscrit was a language to ´not´ share knwoledge

then they refuse the idea to NOT share knowledge

and work a lot into free hw projects too

thanks for the url github

not only nikon F

on the other end, it might also make sense to have different sensors, so yes, different adapters or a system of adapters will be required

will be interesting to make them compattible with the not expensive stuff around too

is an interesting system

http://www.cokin.co.uk/

let me see how can I help and some friends

with electronig stuff in the middle is more complex to make an universal device

yes

I think will be interesting to do an study of what is available some places

what would be the price for e.g. a simple color filter?

usually they sell sort of sets of filters

yeah, no problem, was just curious

I can see

they have all kinds of from pola to whatever you need

as soon as I have idea I ll tell you

http://www.ebay.it/sch/i.html?_odkw=luce+kobo+reader&_osacat=0&_from=R40&LH_PrefLoc=1&_trksid=m570.l3201&_nkw=lens+adapters+&_sacat=0

take your time, it's not urgent

probably I can edit some wiki some part

or I just install one

http://www.ebay.it/sch/i.html?_trksid=p4069.m570.l1313&_nkw=angenieux&_sacat=0&_from=R40

lets see many of the bayonnetes of different ones to see if possible

also will be interesting probably to deal directly with the cokin persons

but why not to ask them ?

can be a good source of making more money for them

since they are already used to do adapters, they know very well their different kinds

just chatting

sure, no problem, just don't expect any on-topic input from my side :)

that's quite affordable, indeed

yes, and I am sure is possible to find less expensive too

look 7 filters for 29

and I think is possible also to use with their adapters some other filters

6 filters 20 euros

probably will be interesting to talk to some technical schools like the itis in italy

to make the design of some parts as an education project

sounds good

because 2 reasons

b) spreading project

I'm all for it

and also will talk to people in india

and they will be enthusiastic with the possibility of doing movies with this cameras

each college do often sort of presentation also in the street of the research of their students

in robotics, programming and so on

lots and lots

I learned that at school the students (I don´t know if everyplace) need to learn till multiplication table of 16 :)

well, my experiences with folks from india are mixed

india is very big

and probably I know due to free software movement, particular ones

but yes, large country and quite diversive

yes

for them

ah, I'm off to bed now ... really tired ... thanks for the chat and keep them ideas coming

see you tomorrow

I ll start writing

Gute Nacht

morning everyone!
