## Agenda
|
|
|
|
Get to know people and their background
|
|
This meetings should be for: Setting a deadline for decisions; talking about the topics that came up; setting future goals.
|
|
I think for opensource-focused communities like this it would be great to have like a "council" of people who WANT to take responsablities and make decisions BASED on the discussion of the community.
|
|
What are the goals? What problems are we solving? What is Libre Gaming not about? What do we want to do differently this time around?
|
|
Mechanism to send money around to share small one-off or ongoing costs. Currency?
|
|
Writing content
|
|
Improving the matchmaking bot - iterate on the current one, or write into a bot framework?
|
|
LibreGames launcher?
|
|
|
|
### What is Libre Gaming about
|
|
|
|
Development
|
|
Multiplayer games?
|
|
Discussing singleplayer games?
|
|
Bringing together developers and play-testers
|
|
Highlighting Libre games to play with
|
|
Making it easier to people to play the games (Launcher / auto-updater)?
|
|
GameDev/GameTest, PlayTogether, Communities, Games, Projects
|
|
|
|
### Matrix, XMPP
|
|
|
|
New user familiarity (emorrp1: IRC and XMPP hard for new users, povoq; disagreed)
|
|
Large public rooms
|
|
Guest access
|
|
Matrix has benefit of nested spaces, bridging and rich content
|
|
recommend tchncs.de if you have no account yet
|
|
hribhrib would delete, poVoq noticed people use IRC
|
|
TBD
|
|
TBD Get rid of this horrible Matrix stuff :p
|
|
|
|
### Working Groups / Projects

|
|
* not so much setting up and organizing projects, but providing infra as needed and raising awareness
|
|
* things like libre overlays, launcher, lobby, libraries/general code sharing, achievements etc
|
|
* drive adoption of projects across games
|
|
|
|
### Domain Name

## Any Other Business
|
|
|
|
Game server hosting?
|
|
Tutorials for easy game server hosting from home or a VPS?
|
|
Matchmaking, organized tournaments?
|

Host a reddit alternative? https://join-lemmy.org ? teddit.net (only a frotend for reddit)
|
|
Project room to highlight gaming projects by members inside libregaming. Project owners could benefit from call-for-help announcements, where advertising for volunteers/job positions is possible. For example, Derby Game by Open source_gaming is looking for an environment designer.

## Comments
|
|
|
|
- naming: libregaming.org will do
|
|
- emorrp1: we need to decide what we want to be. There are some internet spots for linux gaming, but *not* for libregaming (making people aware of librgamenight etc.).
|
|
- poVoq: libregamenight and friends seems multiplayer focused. freegamedev idea was: bring devs and tester together, *but* mostly *single player* oriented in praxis. Another org could focus on multi.
|
|
- infrared: LGN is not just multiplayer, there was SP discussion too (strategies, etc. see Mindustry). What has a legacy of LGN: some doocracy. the line between dev and player nowadays is blurred a lot. Disctinctions less important at the end.
|
|
- rampoina: basic idea. We like libregames and we would like more people to play it. PEople to find it and play it in a neat way. evangelizing is not great - inform people of advantages of libre and let them decide for themselves (infrred: laid-back advocacy)
|
|
- emorrp1: a curated list (good games! not just every game under the sun) is paramount, game ratings, reviews
|
|
- Chris L: resources for hosting/setting up (libregamenight once had pages that detailed version to be played, how to compile, how much tutorial is needed to play etc)
|
|
- infrred: not auto-update but version matching between people wanting to play together
|
|
- Libre tabletop/card/board games very welcome!
|
|
- Clear licensing upfront for web-content (CC-0, CC-by, CC-by-SA)
|
|
- southerntofu: noting strong dislike for domain name registrars
