|
Welcome to another episode of HPR.
|
|
I am your host Anigma and today we will be talking about a new project proposal I have for
|
|
the community.
|
|
I would like to create a place where content as a whole can be shared whether that be audio
|
|
content like this HPR episode you are listening to today or video or text files or a history
|
|
of the community as a whole.
|
|
As you know HPR and its predecessor today with a techie has existed for about 15 years
|
|
and we have over 3,000 episodes available and it is indexable and searchable and that is
|
|
great but we don't have a lot of places where you can go and find a non audio version of
|
|
a particular topic and some people aren't comfortable with the audio based format.
|
|
So some people like to see their tutorial or some people like to actually have a text
|
|
based tutorial and be able to search through it and such like that.
|
|
So I thought that this would be a great project that I could bring to the community and get
|
|
some people to help me out with it.
|
|
I kind of attribute this to the old forum concept back in the early 2000s.
|
|
As you know from if you have listened to my fireside chat with Ken Fallon I was big
|
|
into the Ben Rev forums I was a DDP member I helped out with the moderation of that forum.
|
|
That forum still exists.
|
|
There is not a whole lot of traffic that goes on in that forum at this current state.
|
|
There is a lot of spam that is accrued over the years and the concept that I have is
|
|
kind of a spawn of that.
|
|
We talked about back when I was you know frequenting that forum of a concept called Hacker
|
|
Exchange and this was always kind of a mentorship program that we were going to implement where
|
|
you could come and find a particular person that was skilled in the topic that you wanted
|
|
to learn about.
|
|
So it was our way of giving back to the community and I think I want to stay true to this concept
|
|
as a whole where we would have an IRC channel we would have maybe you know some other type
|
|
of delivery system where you could have that one-on-one time with you know a person
|
|
skilled in that skill set as well as having a place where we could aggregate other good
|
|
content from other sources so like if we find a good YouTube you know somebody does a great
|
|
YouTube video on a particular topic you could go and search this index or forum or whatever
|
|
we choose to put out there on that particular topic and find that article and maybe some
|
|
comments about that article or video and we could implement this in a few different ways.
|
|
So HBR and the binro forums kind of are our baseline for the content that we currently
|
|
have. We could use the binro forums as that aggregation right now that actually the forums
|
|
does post a thread every time a HBR episode gets released and that would be a great place
|
|
where you could go and comment on the show and so on and so forth.
|
|
Like I said the forums have a lot of spam and a lot of just under maintenance for the lack
|
|
of better word over the last few years and you know the decision could be made well we
|
|
could go with that and I don't want to lose that history but I also you know know it's
|
|
going to be a significant lift to get rid of the spam and actually make that usable.
|
|
So maybe what we do is we take the content from there and port it into a new platform
|
|
and kind of move on from there. Like I said as the show gets released there will be a IRC
|
|
channel on free node hashtag hacker change and I will be there so we can we can talk about
|
|
this as you know as a group and I'm hoping to get some of you guys out there to to give
|
|
me some good ideas and and help out.
|
|
And worst case scenario if if no one's interested then I might press forward and and do something
|
|
on my own but I wanted to talk through this you know in in public and and kind of get
|
|
your guys a feedback and and really understand what you guys are looking for as a community.
|
|
I talked a little bit about the forum concept and other things that I'd like to do with
|
|
this as a project would be to have a like a common code repository.
|
|
So somebody could go and if they were looking for a IRC bot for example we would have
|
|
something available that they could mirror take the code make their own and and and kind
|
|
of give back to the community if they wanted to improve upon that IRC bot that we use other
|
|
things I plan on doing some pandas tutorials which is a a Python package that basically
|
|
you can manipulate spreadsheet you can read in read in data it's a very spreadsheet
|
|
like I plan on doing on a HPR on that so we would have essentially a repository of my
|
|
code they're available so it could be linked to the HPR episode as well as back to hacker
|
|
exchange where we could improve upon it and and have conversations about it.
|
|
So overall I want to link different disparate content mechanisms into one indexable thing
|
|
and again we're talking very high level at this point I am looking for and want the feedback
|
|
whether that be good better and different tell me I'm crazy tell me you know it's not
|
|
something that you guys want as a community or come in and give me great ideas and and
|
|
try to help out.
|
|
Like I said we're going to have an IRC channel hashtag hacker exchange as well as I am
|
|
always available on hashtag augcast planet on free node I'm in I'll be in both channels
|
|
you can also email me at ETH zero nigma at gmail.com and let me know what you guys think.
|
|
This was a pretty rambly episode I have a couple in the can that I'm going to be doing
|
|
that are more technical based I also have a something a little bit different coming
|
|
for you guys it may be released before this but I'm going to be doing a series on aquariums
|
|
because that's another passion of mine I think I mentioned that in my last podcast but
|
|
I think that's going to be it for today guys as always the revolution will be digitized
|
|
