ok some more news from my side: axiom-recorder now also has a CinemaDngFrameserver node that can be plugged at the end of a pipeline and exposes the output of the pipeline as a webdav share with dng files in it
11:58
anuejn
this can then be mounted and used e.g. in davinci resolve
11:58
vup
uiuiui webdav
11:59
anuejn
that makes it unnescessary to have the data laying around twice (e.g. for converting raw12 to cinemaDNG or doing some operations like fpn removal
11:59
vup
always these mac users with shitty fuse implementation :P
11:59
anuejn
yup seemed easier to implement that nfs and fuse sucks on macos
11:59
anuejn
so I went for webdav ;)
11:59
vup
anuejn: does this work with non random access sources? (A/B frame decoding?)
12:00
anuejn
nope (how could it?)
12:00
vup
a big cache?
12:00
vup
not sure
12:01
anuejn
but I think we might want to add an option to the A/B frame decoding node for creating a small index of which frames to combine and then be random access
12:01
anuejn
then it could be used for this workflow
12:09
vup
yeah maybe, otoh, maybe we just don't care and never actually store A/B frames and always only store the combined version
12:09
vup
I don't really see good reasons to store them in A/B form anyways
12:10
vup
and a frameserver in combination with a streaming source like the webcam source seems pretty infeasible, unless you specify like a maximum number of frames or so
12:10
anuejn
yup, same
12:10
vup
(and then hold all the frames in memory)
12:10
anuejn
maybe because ffmpeg is actually a bit more stable than the axiom-recorder ;)
12:17
anuejn
what would be also cool now is an openEXR frameserver
12:18
anuejn
so that we could in addition to raw images share pre-developed images with the axiom-recorder tooling
12:18
anuejn
in case we can provide a better starting point than davinci :)
12:19
anuejn
and maaaaybe some tool to expose multiple clips using one program
12:19
anuejn
but that requires some architectural rethinking

very cool!

MEETING TIME, who is here?
16:00
anuejn
is here
16:01
Bertl
is here ...
16:01
se6astian_
anuejn you basically already did a full report before, anything to add or anything else?
16:02
anuejn
nope
16:02
anuejn
thats it from me
16:03
se6astian_
right
16:03
se6astian_
Bertl: any news from your side?
16:04
Bertl
Well, I ordered and received the RP2040 chips and Pico Pis
16:04
Bertl
I also started some testing on the Pico Pi to get an idea how the toolchain works and that seems to be rather straight forward so far
16:05
Bertl
the next step there will be using/testing SWD and how to boot/program one Pico from another
16:06
Bertl
There also has been some preliminary feedback from INT/LAM but they are currently evaluating their data, so nothing really new there
16:06
se6astian_
perfect, the context to add here is that we are evaluating using two pico pi chips as coure CPU for a new AXIOM remote prototype
16:06
Bertl
Other than that, nothing new from my side
16:08
anuejn
se6astian_: any news from the enclosure production?
16:09
se6astian_
well, nothing really new, still waiting for oscar to send the prepayment
16:09
se6astian_
but the order has been placed basically
16:09
anuejn
nice :)
16:09
anuejn
that sounds very good
16:10
se6astian_
on another front we are retiring the lab as phabricator is EOL, please review as many tasks we had there if they are still relveant/work keeping and create new ones on github projects
16:11
se6astian_
and we also need to do something about apertus.org as drupal 7 is also making trouble
16:11
anuejn
is voting for just a static website generated by some static site generator
16:12
anuejn
thinks that all the interactive content is anyways not used very much
16:12
se6astian_
yeah I also want to reduce the dynamci/interactive stuff mostly, maybe a very simple CMS...
16:12
aombk

16:13
BAndiT1983_
it still involves some work on th layout side, to get proper one for desktop and mobile, but we could evaluate some options
16:13
aombk2

16:13
anuejn
there is still some drafts from me that i did some time ago during my "internship"
16:13
anuejn
we could revive them :)
16:14
se6astian_
yes I remember them :)
16:15
se6astian_
I dont think we want to go down the drupal route once again with drupal 10, but a custom small static or minimal CMS setup that is easy to maintain and does not require any constant security patches would go a long way
16:15
se6astian_
also easy to backup/store revisions...
16:15
se6astian_
ok any other topics/things to discuss?
16:15
BAndiT1983_
headless CMS is an option, like strapi or directus, to hold the data, the frontnd doesn't need much logic, have tested both backends with vue.js before, but the selection is vast
16:17
anuejn
I think static site generators can bring us a long way since it would enable us to have a website that works without JS :)
16:17
BAndiT1983_
we need a list of requirements, to narrow down possible solutions
16:18
anuejn
also I wouldnt bother with moving all the old news entries but rather make a static copy of the current website and host it under the current urls
16:19
se6astian_
that would be a good idea yes
16:20
anuejn
we could then just gradually move content to some new thing as we see need
16:20
anuejn
but the website actually has not _that_ much content
16:27
se6astian_
thats OK I guess
16:27
se6astian_
regarding GSoC, who would be interesting in mentorng this year if we find ace student candidates?
16:28
anuejn
I would throw zola (https://www.getzola.org/) into the ring of static site generators
16:29
anuejn
my local hackspace uses it and it seems quite usable
16:31
se6astian_
great, lets discuss this soon separately
16:31
se6astian_
any thoughts on gsoc?
16:35
se6astian_
ok, probably motivation is a bit low on that topic considering the gsoc disaster last year, please think a bit more about it but I see no trouble if we don't apply this year, we can reconsider next year
16:35
se6astian_
MEETING CONCLUDED
16:35
se6astian_
BAndiT1983_ and anuejn, can you start a spreadsheet (google or other online repo) to compare CMS/sitegenerators
16:36
se6astian_
pros and cons, requirements on server, features
16:36
se6astian_
and a tab with requirements we can start to collect
16:36
BAndiT1983_
we can try to do gsoc for remote, would be ok to mentor again
16:36
se6astian_
great
16:39
BAndiT1983_
we can create a small table under projects on github, markdown should be enough
16:44
se6astian_
perfect
