i had a dream last night which probably means I slept well because I rarely dream. in any case, Selena Gomez and I fell in love, wrote and recorded what was considered by many the greatest art pop album of all time. Some time after the album I got cancer and died. At some point too she was pregnant but not sure what happened to fetus. After my death, Selena wrote and recorded what was by many considered the greatest pop/emo/metal album of all time. Selena either ODs or commits suicide. unclear.

I started listening to the podcast thinking, hell yeah, 2024 content...

it's 2014...

I've learned my lesson about saying 1 of 2...and I was right, this is going to end up being 3...

since sessions are recorded, I don't see a lot of problem using meet.jit.si, but we could pick a different server: https://ladatano.partidopirata.com.ar/jitsimeter/ -- I do wonder if the "No Tracking" ones allow streaming via YouTube though. For example, the suse server does not. I checked a few others and didn't see any that did.

theoretically, we could host our own, but not sure that makes sense at our current scale.

I've got on my calendar 6:30pm US Central to work on #fccm / #ccmusic / #netlablel stuff. Mostly depending on my wife's schedule, but also my own on-call schedule and bike race schedule I won't literally be able to make that time every day.

Still, if it would be useful/interesting for folks, I could hold office hours then on jitsi and record the sessions

Could be a way for us to more rapidly iterate on various projects.

Thoughts? @wjmaggos @ryno @blocsonic @strypey @bsots (1 of at least 2)

@clacke DJ Cummerbund has a mashup of that which I believe is the Pinnacle of all human creation

@strypey @bigblen unclear to me what the argument is here, but the vaccines absolutely do not stop people from getting covid, and never have: https://www.gavi.org/vaccineswork/why-are-fully-vaccinated-people-still-catching-covid-19

Please share far and wide! https://calendar.app.google/8tFdyu9rYwKGZXnY9

It's important that #ccmusic people come to as much of this as possible if for no other reason than to help us figure out if we want to do something like this yearly, and if so, how to improve it.

Website talk & Live Shows talk are locked in to their time, but any of the other times can be moved...although ideally not since some of the docs have the times listed. Still, lmk if you would like to be at a specific talk but time is bad.

#music

@Nomys_Tempar accepted to what? The event on Jan 25 is a discussion about building an organization. There will be no music submissions that day. What I hope happens is that a musician steps up to help build that fork of the organization and build tools that will help all musicians. @Cheesetruck has talked about there being some sort of monthly #netlabel show, but right now there is nothing set in stone about that. Right now that is scheduled for the 3rd slot on the day if u want to get involved

@Nomys_Tempar @Cheesetruck the only concern I *personally* have with non-CC licenses is how we deal with compatibility issues.

there's two sides of the coin though. 1. people are already confused so what's the harm in some more licenses.

2. on the other hand, limiting to just CC licenses makes things very clear and we don't have to worry about evaluating different licenses.

maybe we could say something like CC licenses and any license approved by the OSI?

@Nomys_Tempar @Cheesetruck there isnt an policy on non-CC licenses. the point of the event on the 25th is to determine policies like that

@dlikdh @Nomys_Tempar @Cheesetruck "libre" is not a great word to use since NC and ND licenses are not libre. even if we accept @wiloma's definition that anyone that releases music is a #netlabel that is not clean as that would include a bunch of all rights reserved stuff.

There is "some rights reserved" but too long for a hashtag. #srrmusic only adds a character. We could see if we could get it to catch on.

Although it's still not precise as there are things like public domain declarations

@Nomys_Tempar @dlikdh @Cheesetruck @wiloma @dogmazic I've never seen a definition of "open" that would include NC and ND though happy to be pointed to one

@Nomys_Tempar @dlikdh @Cheesetruck @wiloma @dogmazic open source is NOT a generic term. it is defined by the OSI

@kevie don't think it's easier in college at all. players can leave after a year whereas in the NFL players often have multi-year contracts

@kevie I hope I am wrong, but I don't think this is going to go well.

@clacke @stux @janvenetor i don't know what other people took from it, but I say if you aren't playing Salt-N-Pepa's "Push It" 24/7 egging you on to deploy your code, are you really living?

Why accept a call you don't plan to attend?

If your plans change, just hit the "Decline" button so people know you aren't planning to attend.

This is really simple, people.

@BeAware they are marked at https://dalek.zone/c/cc_community_music_awards/videos?s=1 -- there's a YouTube playlist as well. not sure if PeerTube has that. probably does. I should make one

is anybody on the #fediverse watching #obsidian or are those just native YouTube and #PeerTube views? I'd love to get some feedback on the proposed talk show before I meet with Ben on Sept 21. Here's the video where I talk about it: https://www.youtube.com/live/yecjGZQ8nNY?si=CsbUkixq-czjU7_B

@strypey @clacke you can see in OP that I mention Japan but I am not exactly sure how that is going to work out. I am hoping we can get a lot of help from the Canadian expats I know living there but idk if they will be game and they live in southern Japan so that will be much harder than doing it in an big city, at least in some regards. in any case, if we did the joint meet-up thing maybe Hong Kong would be an option. part of the problem is I have never been to those places so no real sense
