Minutes

getting more developers involved

ideas

• improving the website (perhaps drupal)
  • well designed website attracts talented developers
• talk about synfig in public forums (planet debian, slashdot, blogs, Flash/Designer forums)
  • need a headline
  • need to put a good face forward
• talk to the tango folks about creating some icons for us
• some cool, short animation examples links at the webpage
• better documentation, perhaps in docbook format

action

website

website is just a directory on the sf.net shell/web server, adding ppl to the sf.net project gives them permissions to edit files/etc

• darco -> find out about and followup the hosting offer
• xerakko -> try to find a web designer to do a professional work.
• riggzy -> a "how to get involved" document
• pabs -> link to the source files from the gallery
• darco -> add some more source .sif files to svn
• someone?? -> move gallery/screenshots pages into darcness

slashdotting/press

perhaps best to focus on developer blogs

• pabs -> advogato
• xerakko -> planet debian
• someone?? -> research headlines for synfig-based movie release

"synfig foundation"

darco: You know what, the founding of something like "the Synfig Foundation" or something would likely be enough for a digg or slashdot, if positioned correctly
darco: To make that happen, we need the following: Legal advice, a board of directors/advisors, someone to write up the bylaws, etc
pabs3: researching what happened with blender and perhaps xaralx would help there I think darco
darco: I wouldn't mind throwing in a few grand to kick it off
darco: yeah
darco: I'll also research how the JSF was founded

tango/inkscape folks

• pabs -> write to the inkscape & tango lists

other

• darco -> list features not finished or not used at voria
• someone?? -> patch source to disable them by default

adding new people

pabs proposes to add xerakko, Riggzy and AdrianW, darco wants to to have defined roles.

• xerakko -> manual (docbook)
• darco -> give xerakko svn access
• pabs -> add xerakko, adrianw and riggzy access to sf.net

roadmap

add g++ 4.1 problem

• xerakko -> look at and apply Bombe's UI patch
