LattePanda has an update: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lattepanda3delta/lattepanda-3-delta-faster-than-ever-still-pocket-sized

I just got an e-mail notification about the update.

2017 is over. Can this be closed?

They can even connect with users on other platforms, if -- like the microblogging service Mastodon -- they implement the same free protocols Aardwolf is built on.

The footer has now the same width as the content (what looks good).

You can use the test account there: Follow the Try Now and become David.

Here is the source of the mail: https://privatebin.net/?819f3cc3901607de#UP+LzO2bUaz4pdYZRuwP75UNKrxaVsFlA+FVr7opELM=

Since then, i'm havily using HackMD. It just feels very lightwight to open a new browser tab, create a document and let ideas flow.

Still same problem in latest newsletter.

After discussing to remove the files from the wiki and only have them on github, we decided that the past workflow works good for developing hardware and we will keep them organized in the wiki.

The amount of files on the fileserver is overwhelming, but the current versions are linked in the wiki, so i was able to commit them to Github.

The initial problem is still fixed.

The problem is fixed now. Thanks!

For this years congress, i hope at least one of @sebastian and @Bertl can free up 4 days to attend.

Dear Apertus Assembly,

your Assembly is accepted and we will provide a space for you.

@jatha great. do you want to be part of the assembly?

I registered our assembly and spoke to felix.

2. then the camera is shipped with a bunch of random crap on it. the end result should be just the calibration files.

1. i suggest calling it factory_calibration.sh (or similar) as i intended it to do all calibrations needed before the camera get's shipped to the customer

Thanks. There is a lot of random stuff but i will try to do it so Bertl can use the time to work on more complex tasks.

• a program is easier to find on github
• commit messages and issues are related to the one program
• we can configure a CI (like Travis/Gitlab CI) to test, build and package the program, needs a YAML file per repo (there you select one language and get the build tools)
• you can use git tags to tag releases
• it's easier to use git bisect to debug in which commit a bug was introduced

People from apertus who will be there:

I'm working on it. Actually Step 2 is already fully automated.

Like you might have seen on the mailing list, Cineform is now open source.

In general yes. To have a clean system, we should package them. So we can also update them with the systems package manager.

Since we partner with Felix from the VOC we should ask them to have a combined assembly.

I have used YOURLS in the past. It works... and is easy to setup.

This combination looks really good: https://www.videodevices.com/products/portable-video-recorders/pix-e5/pix-lr (technically and visually!)

We could also build our own NP-F compatible batteries (later) with Panasonic 18650 inside. The electronics seem not too complicated.

GitHub answered that the apertus organisation is not dormant but has only no public activity. Maybe we should decide an alternative short handle.

it will be way more work later. also i would like to have apertus as name on github too.

can we create a group on gitlab to give multiple people permissions like with organizations on github?

@RexOr please don't use apertus-open-source-cinema as name, it's toooooooooo long, nobody wants to type that in! you could use it as display name or description...

@maltefiala GitLab is a good software, so thair CI is probaply also good. i never used it...

generally i like https://drone.io/ as a CI. it executes the build in docker containers, so you have a clean invironment every time but it is as easy as Travis. it is open source, you can install it on your own server that has docker (it runs in a docker container itself). they currently don't have a public instance, but will privide paid services in the future and probaply free for open source projects like in the past.

As i said in the audio recorder issue, we should focus right now on finalizing the AXIOM Beta, then we can build more open hardware devices like this.

Addition to proposal 2:

Sony bloggie MHS-CM5

The test footage looks amazing.

Looks amazing!

I also don't like the greek symbol. It don't fits the other used fonts.

Wow, that actually looks realistic!

They wouldn't want to have have 'Beta III' on an enclosure [...], because it would make their camera seem out of date when it wasn't.

I think it makes sense to have the same logo on every device, like @RexOr said.

@sebastian i can try, but earliest next weekend.

Sebastian said morrigan installs it on http://notes.apertus.org/

How do we deal with all the content, for example on pages like this?

actual page structure and content

The URL structure is quite good!

two websites: apertus.org for the community side, axiom-camera.com for the commercial side

Main Menu

The apertus°-Project has 2 sides:

@nils are you making progress on the design? can i see the current state?

I haven't forgotten this, but i really had no time.

I really like Markdown for writing, so i was really happy to find https://hackmd.io/

AXIOM is officially licensed Open Hardware.

@sebastian you may consider using 2 shotgun or super cardioid mics rather than lavs. can get boomed with tripods.

P2P is the future of the Internet.

Maybe this is the right time and place to suggest NixOS.
It is not used primarily in embedded devices and is also not very enduser friendly right now, but has some advantages like atomic updates (what would help here to easily roll back updates) and declarative configuration.
It is build around the Nix package manager, that can be also used on other Linux distributions and even OS X (theoretically also on Windows, but no one is working on that). They are working on reprodicible builds.
The community is very active and helpful! I use NixOS on most servers at home.
You can find my OS configurations here: https://github.com/davidak/nixos-config

@Bertl Yes, like i said, it's currently nearly impossible.

Yes, it is nearly impossible but can be a goal. Like Fairphone does it.

so the battery is shown as full even if it's empty? :D

Have you considered Magento for the Shop?
We have a lot of customers using it and it works well.

i think it is not a problem. people come to the website to get informations about the project und the first information someone needs is what the project is about. then they will scroll down and find informations about the newest activities.

a very fine rendered 3D picture of the Axiom Beta in the middle and the apertus° logo under it (middle or right).
