Mailing List discussions

Policy decisions surrounding HPR are taken by the community as a whole. This discussion takes place on the Mail List which is open to all HPR listeners and contributors. The discussions are open and available on the HPR server under Mailman.

The threaded discussions this month can be found here:

https://lists.hackerpublicradio.com/pipermail/hpr/2024-November/thread.html

Any other business

It's been another hectic month here at HPR Towers.

As we discussed on the mailing list most of the time was taken by the migration to Mastodon, and the implementation of the mirrors on the Community Content Delivery Network. Some daily stats are been updated on https://hub.hackerpublicradio.org/hpr_ccdn_stats.tsv

Summary of the changes to the repo https://repo.anhonesthost.net/HPR

Dave updated his tooling for processing shows and they are now available on the Gitea repo.

We finally got around to creating the HPR Documentation wiki.

  • Community Content Delivery Network (CCDN) A location to track the deployment of the HPR Community Content Delivery Network, that provides a mirror network for our content.
  • HPR Website Design This is literally in the whiteboard phase of the HPR website redesign. Where we can track Compatibility of the clients subscribed to our feeds.
  • Useful Resources Where we can link to other free culture sites that provide useful services.
  • Requested Topics Where we can track topics that have been requested, and link to shows that addressed them.

There is also a list with information about Podcatcher and Podcasting Platform Compatibility. If anyone wants to adopt a player then please do so.

The section on Workflow will be changing shortly due to Dave stepping aside, and also the need to distribute to multiple end points. All the processing will happen first, and then all the checks will be done at the same stage just prior to posting. For this to work we need help finding a simple manageable WYSIWYG editor that can produce sane HTML when the host uploads the show. We also need a new system to distribute the files from an origin to all the mirrors.

Other changes and fixes.

  • The day of the week is now available on the website.
  • Fixed the RSS feed to show explicit status.
  • Fixed a bug that limited the future feed to just 10 shows.
  • Fixed a typo in the status page.
  • Following feedback, added emphasis about the upcoming two weeks, to the scheduling guidelines.
  • Notable shout out to the people who are promoting HPR and are helping people out with audio issues.
