GNU Media Goblin 0.3.0 Released

Posted by Unknown on from the zuckerburg-is-goblin-food dept.

A mere year since the Mediagoblin photo/video sharing project was started, the project has hit version 0.3.0. Release highlights include: a rewrite of the database from MongoDB to SQL (via SQLAlchemy, making it much easier to install), audio support (using the HTML5 <audio> tag), a first take on a mobile interface, and smarter video buffering. Not content to sit idle, the developers are starting work on Salmon protocol support to federate with software like Diaspora in the next release.

    MongoDB is webscale.

    Diaspora... theres a name I haven't heard recently. I checked the github and its certainly alive and kicking. Do many /.ers use Diaspora and could therefore use the Goblin?

    I wondered about the license and had to LOL at the commit comment:

            GNU-AGPL-3.0 2 years ago added license to every single goddamn file. also, put one in the root [Daniel Vincent Grippi]

    Yes, that answers the licensing question quite firmly

    It's they fault, they moved from MongoDB to SQL, which isn't webscale.

    Another brilliantly named piece of software. Now I use Linux and Gimp and the Media Goblin. I'm sure my parents are very proud.

      Say what you want, but it's a better name than Media Dildo.
