| While working on Kung Fu, I discovered [https://bugs.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/gst-plugins-ugly0.10/+bug/71017 a nasty seek bug] in the GStreamer dvdreadsrc element, for which I have submitted a patch. After working on dvdreadsrc quite a bit, I decided that it was really a big crufty mess, so I've started a rewrite from scratch, which I'm calling ''dvdsrc''.

I'm really hoping to have this finished in time to be included in Feisty, so that full DVD support will finally be available under gstreamer0.10.

| Aside from general advocacy, I have packaged software that I have written for Ubuntu (Kung Fu and FUPlayer), filed lots of bugs reports, submitted patches for at least one of them, done some wiki editing, and utilized Launchpad for bug tracking, version control, and translation. In general most my work has been upstream, but I always keep Ubuntu in mind. === My plans and ideas for Ubuntu in the near and far future === Multimedia issues are the big on my radar right now. My #1 priority is full DVD support under gstreamer0.10, hopefully in time to be included in Feisty, by way of [https://launchpad.net/people/jderose/+branch/kungfu/dvdsrc my new dvdsrc element]. My #2 priority is an audio server that doesn't run at a fixed sample rate (Esd currently runs at a fixed 44100 sample rate), which I've started to outline in my DynamicAudioRateSpec. === More about myself... === [http://jasonderose.org My Homepage][[BR]] [[MailTo(jderose AT SPAMFREE jasonderose DOT org)]][[BR]] |
''StuartLangridge'' -- Jason's a smart guy. I've had a number of interesting discussions with him about distributed projects and Novacut, and I'm confident that he's committed to not only his own project (Novacut) but also making that project be a first class Ubuntu citizen. He and I have discussed desktopcouch in detail, and he's provided both useful feedback and patches to the project to make it better, and the work he's doing to bring distributed video editing to Ubuntu is, in my opinion, a valuable addition to the project. I have no hesitation in supporting his application for Ubuntu membership. |

About
Jason == Python developer who hearts test-driven-development, multimedia aficionado, longtime free-software user, free-culture advocate
I'm the lead Novacut developer/architect. In bullet points, I am:
Working like crazy to make Ubuntu the cat's pyjamas for pro HDSLR video (see http://vimeo.com/18287329)
- An early Launchpad and Bazaar adopter
- A longtime Debian and Ubuntu user
Contributions
Some recent contributions:
Helped shoot HD video at UDS-N
Ran session on Distributed Media Library at UDS-N.
With help from rockstar, working hard to make dmedia an example of Launchpad project management best-practices
Helped Manish Sinha learn some basics of Debian packaging
Authored file import UX design for pro video users (utilizes NotifyOSD and Application Indicators)
Some of my projects in Launchpad:
dmedia - distributed media library
tymelapse - renders fake-HDR time-lapse from RAW photos
novacut - bringing a distributed workflow (ala bzr) to video production
Novacut Vision
Ubuntu can easily become the premier platform for professional video production (e.g., movie and TV production). In addition to content-production, as Ubuntu's market share grows, it's becoming an increasingly valuable platform for content-distribution. This is where the rubber meets the road, and if we play our cards right, a huge opportunity to feed additional revenue into both the free-software and free-culture ecosystems.
That's exactly what we want to accomplish with Novacut, and we're approaching the problem from both sides. We aim to:
Give creators the tools they need to create the open-source way. Free-software owes its success to more than just license... equally important are the pragmatic tools (like Bazaar and Launchpad) that have enabled us to write software faster, better, cheaper. We should strive to give free-culture every competitive advantage possible, and that's why we're developing the Novacut distributed video editor. To win, free-culture needs to be highly competitive in the market place.
- Provide the central market place that will allow Creative Commons licensed content to reach critical mass. It must be convenient for fans to find and watch CC content, and easy for fans to support the artist they love. Artists needs to make money. And Novacut needs to make money (how else can we pay developers to continually build better tools for artists). The market place is where this will happen.
IRC Channels
These are some IRC channels I tend to idle on:
- #novacut
