SAFE Pod San Francisco #2

Yes mumble audio is way superior, then more interactive if others join in. We can easily record that and we can add to the vid easily.

The guys got the message about audio quality early on in that room and went to headsets…didn’t seem to work out …had a chuckle at viv trying to wrestle with them.

Just saying that, if sessions are going to continue to be recorded out of that room…the issue remains. Diffusing is the way this problem is solved in the audio world. A local contractor can do this work very quickly with no time suck on developer time…just a suggestion from an audio guy.

The question I have right now, not being a developer but understanding how network stuff interacts: Is my xyz service, suitable to build on SAFE?

RESTful API? Javascript based apps? …just the very bones of what would be dead easy, not so easy, hard, forget it. Maybe a Maidsafe blog post to that effect, where developers could be pointed for a quick lowdown.

I’d like to sniff out the coolest stuff and turn them on to SAFE and have them ask questions…but who to approach?

I thought the headsets were being used for the Google hangout session, not on mumble. I’ll check mumble and see if the audio quality has the same issue with the echo. If anyone in Troon is still awake give me a shout in the conference room. I’m logging in right now.

EDIT: I just had a quick chat with @dirvine on mumble, at his home. The audio was very clear. So we are going to try mumble again at the MaidSafe office in about 10hrs from now, that is 6am for me, I’ll try to get up early and see how bad the echo is from the office location. You guys/gals are welcome to jump in the Conference Room on Mumble. We’ll find a solution. :smile:

Regarding using mumble, please use ā€œPush to Talkā€ to avoid cross noise when on the party line. Thanks.

Ah yes, I’m talking about room echo when they use the table microphone , not transmission/network echoes.

Sorry for the confusion there…

10 hours from 19:00?
If so, that’s 5:00 for me… and I’ll pass on waking that early. :stuck_out_tongue:

Mumble is definitely a good idea for improving audio quality… just can’t forget to record so we can cut it in post hangout.

I’ll work on cutting up this one to see how long it takes… if it seems to be taking too long, I’ll just mark down the timestamps for various topics.

I’m in the Mumble conference room, but it looks like MaidSafe Team is a little busy right now. They are working on some updates to the code base, which is a good thing. I’ll go ahead and start the AMA TestNet1 thread and leave the conference date as TBA (To Be Announced).

The general rule of thumb for this is if it’s suitable for Google App Engine, it’ll probably be suitable for SAFE.

That’s a conservative view of course, but it won’t lead to any disappointment later.

Thanks Ned, so accordingly that would include

Python, Java, PHP, Go and Cloud SQL

If it’s suitable for Google App Engine, it’ll probably be suitable for SAFE

easy :slight_smile:

It should include at least this set, think it’s fair to say with c and c++ interfaces then we should handle pretty much any language or binding. We have no corporate business model to protect or business reason to restrict developers. Should be quite a ride. I agree though we need a tough roadmap, we do hope the community provide many of the language bindings as we move on.

Ooo, not quite what I meant.

I more meant that if a web application works well on Google App Engine i.e. has been designed to do so, it has a strong chance of working well on SAFE.

Just to quickly expand, persisting storage durably on a LAMP server takes milliseconds, whereas on App Engine it takes seconds, and on SAFE I expect it will also take seconds. Similarly, your code will have to accept running in a very tightly defined sandbox with restrictions similar - or even more so - to Google App Engine. Most web applications don’t run well on App Engine as they make hard assumptions about their freedom to do insecure things.
