Debian Multimedia

Task description

The Debian Multimedia project aims to make Debian a good platform for audio and multimedia work. This basically means packaging/maintaining multimedia applications and libraries, and collaborating with other maintainers or teams in order to improve audio/video support in Debian.

The Debian Multimedia team is currently merging with the Debian Multimedia Packages team. Both teams are converging into one, the Debian Multimedia Maintainers team. This means that there is some duplicate infrastructure that should converge on a best-effort basis.

Get involved

  • See the FAQ on how to join the team.

  • {*} Help clean up bugs in bugs.debian.org. page 1 and page 2

  • {*}{*} Help with packaging.

Infrastructure

Backports

Lenny backports for many of the Debian multimedia packages are available in this APT repository:

deb http://apt.64studio.com/backports lenny-backports main

Currently both amd64 and i386 are supported.

These should move to backports.org at some point.

Interaction

  • Mailing list - development list

  • irc: #debian-multimedia on irc.debian.org (i.e. oftc)
    • NB: if you drop in and don't get an immediate answer, hang around for awhile and you'll have a better chance of someone getting back to you.
  • /DevelopPackaging - coordinate the packaging effort

  • /Formats - Open multimedia file formats in Debian

  • /Discussion - make Debian a rocking audio/video workstation

  • /Policy - system guidelines and specifications

  • /Links - other interesting projects and pages

Usual roles

Currently there are no strict roles defined. All members can work on all packages, although there is some sort of split. A list of people actively involved in the packaging effort can be found here and here
