+++ title = "Meeting Minutes #3" +++ # Libre Gaming meeting minutes #3 ## Attending Attending: emorrp1, hribhrib, seabass, ThinkSome, librebob, poVoq, Xilef ## Agenda * Matchbot, which version? * Andrews new version? Was just a quick fix? * Hribhrib will try to host the Clojure version? Maybe convert into Matrix bot? * Take up offer for free Lemmy hosting (one year limited)? * communities.libregaming.org? Lemmy.libregaming.org discuss.libregaming.org? forum.libregaming.org? * CNAME offer to trial before self-hosting, no .well-known (yet) * do we even need our own instance? - could just have a community, or offer as a service for games * does this federate with e.g. [https://lemmy.ml/c/opensourcegames](https://lemmy.ml/c/opensourcegames) * if someone has an account on libregaming.org, they can subscribe to the lemmy.ml/c/opensourcegames * crossposting to promote the existing community * see also overlap with Okapi - fracturing? * FGD currently has flarum * Website status update (postponed, no-one working on it present) * Affiliated communities update: * onFOSS has had some independent work - will probably merge with LibreGaming, but TBD * freegamedev - still separate, but happy to have lots of overlap, closer to opengameart.org * libregamenight - is there actually any difference in membership? (seems to be the on-topic chat) * LibreSpades and other asset liberation activities, status update - any role for libregaming.org? * status: maintainer needed * status: works without non-free assets * needs: new models for player characters. Currently these are small red boxes floating about. This makes it hard to tell enemies/friendlies apart. * needs: new models for weapons. Is playable without * needs: new sounds/music * look into this?: [https://github.com/xtreme8000/BetterSpades](https://github.com/xtreme8000/BetterSpades) * has GPL3? assets, but needs licensing checking * needs a flatpak submitted to flathub! ([https://github.com/xtreme8000/BetterSpades/pull/115)](https://github.com/xtreme8000/BetterSpades/pull/115)) * Top-N Most Important Projects * we could list this to point people at high-value quick-wins for e.g. asset creation * For assets, can make a Collection on opengameart, for needs-replacement stuff (think weblate but for game assets not translations) * Status of non-free games in matchbot and #libregaming-matchmaking * Remove them altogether? * No thanks * Anti-feature tagging and warnings? (specing bot) * HIGHLY AGREEABLE, but needs work * I'd just like to interject for a moment... * Remove them if no action is being done on replacing non-free bits? * maybe a bit more reasonable * perhaps have a #libregaming-nonlibre? * TBD: see action * Re-hash what exactly is LibreGaming policy on levels of libre-ness of projects (i.e. antifeature labelling vs. discounting the project) * Status update Okapi (ContentDB fork) (postponed - no Armen) * Client integration with Arcadia etc? [https://tauri.studio/](https://tauri.studio/) (electron like) Client? * would like this running, hosting needs python flask, is it good enough we can start having accounts? * [https://games.armen138.com/](https://games.armen138.com/) (test instastance) * Arcadia status update * rewriting because python c/c++ bindings are hard, uses qml * possible windows package repository?: [https://community.chocolatey.org/packages?q=SuperTuxKart](https://community.chocolatey.org/packages?q=SuperTuxKart) * any Windows players anyway? onFOSS, Xonotic, Mindustry, Veloren, but they don't tend to be active in our dev sides - outreach to find someone willing * 0install is kinda like AppImage * some related projects to steal ideas from: [https://playnite.link/](https://playnite.link/) [https://luxtorpeda.gitlab.io/](https://luxtorpeda.gitlab.io/) * don't want to host files, need to get them from somewhere - Okapi? (itch.io is non-free) * productivity comes in cycles and arcadia development prone to long periods of inactivity * Chat bridging status update (Veloren bridge by Timo currently down) * Maybe try bridging through IRC? Freegamedev brdges. * Matrix: Synapse vs Conduit, but if conduit bridging worked fine then Timo would probably do it * SteamDeck and libregaming? * find someone who actually has one * "SteamDeck compatible" feature labelling on libre games (a la protondb) * uses flatpak to distribute non-Steam software * Discussion about a Code of Conduct (that was on the agenda for the last one but didn't happen, correct me if I'm wrong) * not really discussed, don't really need one for now, * Outreach/publicity * fun memes like "don't use X, check out Y" * "mum, I want minetest. We have minetest at home ... :(" * lean into the fact they're not going to be exact matches * Why doesn't MarioKart let you play as Tux? * /r/linuxmasterrace - /c/linuxmasterrace ? * Next meeting could be in 1 month if someone steps forward - try and have it by July at the latest (no longer than 3 months away) ## Actions * hribhrib to host clojure matchbot * seabass to send hribhrib details of new matchmaking bot (Clojure version) for hosting * poVoq to ask Lemmy devs for an instance on behalf of lemmy.libregaming.org * emorrp1 to write out best understanding of ThinkSome's PoV, and consensus * emorrp1 to raise issue and chase seabass for non-free tagging on matchbot * poVoq+emorrp1 to fix #LibreGameNight to FGD bridging by going via Matrix rather than matterbridge * librebob look into packagekit * ThinkSome to document needed assets for LibreSpades for someone else to check if they're in BetterSpades * emorrp1 to export minutes onto website
