Hiya Manu, Rob is naturally a great person to talk to about this. you should also write to iaep and the sugar list, since it woudl be good to have people who are experienced with extracting video converting power out of the available hardware chiming in or helping with the code. and as you might expect, Erik B and Bakhtiar M have thought about what such an activity might look like since working on Record.<br>

Hello Manu!<div><br></div><div>Wow! I am not an "official person", just a volunteer, but my understanding of OLPC, SugarLabs and FLOSS tells me the answer is probably a resounding "yes!." I will cc your message to some of the folks who know a lot more than I do so they can steer you in the right direction or send it on to someone who can.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thanks so much for your offer. The quality of the projects you have already developed tells me this could be a really wonderful Activity for the XO and Sugar.</div><div><br></div><font color="#888888"><div>

Hi All,<br>
Here is a great opportunity for someone to pick up where Robert left
off and contribute something really useful, fun, educational,
practical, and wanted for the XO and SoaS. Robert is willing to advise
and help anyone who wants to pick up this project to get a Video
Editing Activity into Sugar.<br>
See details in our correspondence below.<br>
Chao!<br>

Hello Caryl,<br>
<br>
My work on the project has stalled. When I left off last year, a
gstreamer glitch was causing OGGs from the XO camera to freeze the
system, which compounded with performance issues stalled the project.
There's a good chance that that particular problem has been resolved,
and I too would love to see a video editing activity on the XO.<br>
<br>
<br>
I'm not sure how much work I'll be able to do, but I am definitely
available to advise and help out how I can. If a volunteer is
interested, I would imagine a good deal could be done in porting an
existing free video editor (pitivi is what I tried due to the
similarities in its toolkit and that being used for sugar) to the XO
interface.<br>
<br>
<br>
Keep in touch,<br>
Robert<br>

Hello,<br>
I am a member of the OLPC Support Gang and am mentoring a project that
wants to use simple video editing on the XO as a part of their
activities. I see that both of you were working on this last year, but
that nothing has been posted on the wiki about it for several months.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
What is the current status of your projects? Is anyone working on them
now? What was the state of the projects when you last worked on them?
Is it something that one of our volunteer programmers could bring to
completion?<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
There is really a lot of interest in having a simple video editing
Activity for the XO and Sugar. At this point, folks are just
suggesting a lot of substitutes such as Turtle Art and Google Docs
presentations. But, of course, what you folks were working on would be
far better.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Let me know what is happening!<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Caryl Bigenho, OLPC Support Volunteer<br>
