Perforce made it clear no community thing could use the brand mark / trademark “Puppet” as well, thus the naming discussion has started (this project will be renamed as soon as a name is decided upon): https://github.com/OpenPuppetProject/planning/discussions/9

🧵So, here's an updated tl;dr on #Puppet as an #OpenSource project: a fork is absolutely coming now. There was a "town hall" today in which Perforce made it quite clear they are going to claim they want to work with the community while not actually doing so. As a result, those of us who have been following this closely reassembled, determined there was no longer hope of really working together, and that it was time to move forward accordingly.

(this thread is my personal take on things)

To be clear, none of us in the #Puppet community wanted to take the fork route. Our hand has been forced by the actions of Perforce and hollow sounding promises that seem aimed at placating people. Personally, I’m really sad things have spiraled into this pit of near despair. Hopefully the community will prevail in our quest to have a truly open solution like we had prior to a couple of months ago, but with the added benefit of being directly controlled by community members.

Governance discussions are underway as well. More will be shared about this as soon as we have come to a decision. Some thoughts on the subject are at https://github.com/OpenPuppetProject/planning/issues/7

@dansup it still says build removed for me.

@agates - is filing a request something you are game to do?

@owncast @errhead

2/2 @owncast Once the live stream ends, Owncast's job would be done and traditional post production and episode publishing would take over. When that is complete, the normal downloadable episode would get added to the rss feed (Owncast would not be involved in this step).

@agates @errhead

@owncast http://mp3s.nashownotes.com/pc20rss.xml (The Podcasting 2.0 podcast) is an example of a show that does this.

@agates @errhead

@owncast - did that clear things up?

@agates @errhead

1/2 @owncast appologies! There is an umbrella of new features called "Podcasting 2.0" and live stuff is one such feature. The liveItem tag, often referred to as LIT, allows a podcaster to add an item into their rss feed that contains a link to the live stream (this is where Owncast would fit in). When the feed is republished with this item podping notifies potential listeners and/or viewers.

@owncast details are at https://github.com/Podcastindex-org/podcast-namespace/blob/main/docs/1.0.md#live-item, but basically the url of the live stream

@agates @errhead

@owncast @agates can explain the details, but basically I’m interested in #Owncast’s openness to supporting what’s needed so that podcasters can use it for live shows. Currently all the shows that support the <podcast:liveItem> tag are using @peertube. Here I see recommendations for Owncast for its #Fediverse integration so it seems it could also be a good option

@errhead

Totally makes sense @agates Maybe @owncast will chime in here.
