Video documentation repository

Hi,

during GuixDays we said that we want to start getting into production
mode with video documentations.

Ludo, would you please create a new git repository for that purpose?
Must the commits to this repository be signed?

That would then mean that Laura needs access to it: Laura, you need to
register in Savannah:

https://savannah.gnu.org/

In the main Guix repository, there is a HACKING file with further
instructions.

If there is something unclear (which is likely the case), please ask
here on the mailing list.

Great initiative!  I can’t create it myself but I’ve filed a support
request: <https://savannah.nongnu.org/support/?109642> (the Savannah
hackers usually respond within a couple of days.)

> Must the commits to this repository be signed?

I would strongly recommend it.  WDYT, Ricardo?

I guess we could give Laura access to the repo (that gives access to all
the project repos so one has to be cautious, but that’s probably OK.)
Thoughts?

Thanks,
Ludo’.

Thank you for filing the request. There you wrote:

In the current video-repository we at least save the input binaries
(i.e speech recordings in several languages for several videos). From
your comment it sounds like that is not intended for the
savannah-repos, right?

If so, we need to somehow externalize those. What would be a reliable
way of doing so? Uploading to some (which?) server? MediaGoblin? Storing
in IPFS as we do currently with the output videos for distribution among
us? Is there any stable IPFS node where we can stick them to?

I think we gave permissions to all former GSoC/Outreachy students,
right? So I'm fine with it.

True.  I mostly wanted to reassure them that this would not be a huge
repo containing only binary files.  So I guess it’s OK to save audio
tracks as long as it doesn’t grow too much.

If/when it happens to grow quickly than expected, we’ll ask the Savannah
folks whether it’s still fine with them.

I’d say we can think about that later if it becomes a problem.

Alright!

Laura, could you please upload the OpenPGP key that you will be using to
sign commits to <https://savannah.gnu.org/users/lsl88>, and then reply
to this message signed with that same key?  (If you need help setting
that up, we can discuss it off-list.)

Please read the ‘HACKING’ file as well.  Technically you’ll have access
to all the Guix repositories, but for now I’d prefer you to restrict
pushes to the video repo (once it has been created, that is :-)).  That
said, you’re of course welcome to contribute to the other repos, but
please email guix-devel or guix-patches beforehand.

Thanks!

Ludo’.

OK. So when the repository is created, we will save the input audios
to it, but not the output videos.

Thanks,

Björn
