Mediathon and hacking for Airtime - Airtime Development Discussions on Sourcefabric Forum

Jakub Górnicki

On October 22nd and 23rd we will hold a special two-day hackathon - which we call Mediathon. As the name tells you: we want both, journalists and developers, to join, network and hack away. Journalists, using the our software on a daily basis for their output. And developers who know it inside out. This combination should generate some great ideas, opportunities and hacks.

So, for those two days our doors are open - you can either march in and work with us or use the forum to throw your ideas into the ring.

Besides the ongoing coding, we are open to AdHoc Sessions (grab an expert and fire away), DemoOrDie Sessions (present your work to the crowd). The room will also be full of Sourcefabric experts to explain the inner workings of our software.

Some ideas from us what we will be hacking for Airtime:
- FLAC, WAV, BWF, AIFF, and AAC support
- Simple way to add a playlist to the schedule
- Mixcloud integration
- Set a calendar view default (Day/week/month) that's remembered
- Playlist export as M3U
- Calendar: add ability to schedule an audioclip
- more issues we selected are here: http://bit.ly/oBq3hY

What ideas would you have? Or what code are you working on?

If you want to attend - just drop me mail at jakub.gornicki@sourcefabric.org and I will give you all the details Wink

Hi Jakub !

don't forget live streams Wink

a great thing to do/integrate :
a playlist generator who including a filetype manager of which types to allow or ignore when generating the playlists(author, style, time, year, interdict,...)

Jakub Górnicki

You're killing me Smile

Albert FR

I'm so sorry Laughing

hum hum... an other thing...

A better way to organize the music of "playlist builder". It will be very cool if we can sort it by "users" and "ulpoading date"... with of course a way to hear tacks directly from "playlist builder".

...and( IT WILL BE AWSOME) a way to get the header of the AirTime admin as a widget!!!

Some feedback from radio stations here in NYC... one compelling thing would be an easily embeddable Airtime player for websites.

i.e. some way of generating a small script within Airtime that generates/helps you create html embed code to place easily on any website with a stream play button and programme information (think SoundCloud for inspiration).

Jakub Górnicki

Thanks Adam! That's a really interesting idea !

Albert FR

Hi !

Photos of the whole weekend here.

Small report here.

There was a Storify of the conference.

I know the SoundCloud team improved the API functionality on their side and Bostjan (on these forums somewhere...) worked on Radio DNS and some other API functionality. We also got lots of feature feedback and I'm sure the Airtime Dev team themselves worked on some things for the 2.0 release.

If anyone is in London this weekend, we'll be at the Mozilla Festival. Come and say hi at the Science Fair where we have a stand or drop into Sunday's Hyperaudio Pad session where we'll be looking at how we can integrate transcript-linking with Airtime.

And something extra, I believe from your poll, see attachment.

Albert FR

all links seems to be broken :(

Jakub Górnicki

Albert FR

thanks, it's good for me too now ;)

Howdy, Stranger!
