# 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 ... <shows minecraft> :("
|
|
* 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)
|
|
|
