Hello everyone,

I am writing to give feedback on your listing at teachingopensource.org, specifically:

http://www.teachingopensource.org/index.php/Help_Wanted:_CLAM_Project

I would beef up your project description section a bit more. Why is CLAM an exciting project to work on? You mention that folks working on CLAM will get experience that can help them work on many interesting projects - are these CLAM specific projects? Other Open Source projects? Please elaborate more here. A bit more marketing in this section will make CLAM look more attractive to potential mentees.

In the Mentor Capacity section, you do not mention if you are willing to do in person mentoring. If you are open to doing so, please list the locations of potential mentors (city, state/province, country) so that folks who are looking for live mentoring will know if there's someone from your team who can work with them.

Since you are less willing to work with educators, why not specify exactly what kind of educators you would like to work with - e.g. professors doing research only, etc. Being specific here will keep you from having to answer mails from educators that are not a good fit for what your project is looking for.

Your ideas page has many many options on it and is well organized. That's great! Perhaps add some links to further documentation for each idea, e.g. the mentioned TO DO link for Pau's thesis. If you could add such supplementary documentation to each idea, it would be very helpful.

I'd like to organize an IRC meeting for the folks who have signed up on the teachingopensource.org FOSS Mentor Projects wiki page, and plan to organize the meeting time, etc., on the teachingopensource.org mailing list. Would whomever from your team is interested in attending please ensure that you're signed up on this mailing list? It's pretty low traffic and I will prefix all messages with [MENTORS] in the subject line so you can further filter your mail.

I'm hoping to schedule this meeting to take place the week of April 20th so this should give you some time to subscribe.

Looking forward to working with you folks!

Cheers,
LH

Hi Xavier,

Now... I'm listening to Sophie Zelmani's music, and trying hard to find a way to watch xavi's videos, as youtube seems banned here

Here you can watch the videos of our presentation of the CLAM Aggregator at the WWW 2009 conference that is being held in Madrid this week (they are 3 videos with some discontinuities ):

As explained in the talk, this is mostly the result of Jun's work, which started with a Google Summer of Code project. Congrats Jun for such a great outcome of your work in CLAM!

Are these videos released under an open content license, e.g. Creative Commons? If so, it'd be great to link to them from here:

Jun, congratulations for your great work on CLAM. What are you doing now?

Best,

Is there a Chord Segmentation View widget plugin for Qt Designer?

I'm trying to create a simple test app using Network Editor, Prototyper and Qt Designer. Basically, I just want to allow a user to open a file and use a TonalAnalysis control to display what chord was played. I can select a SegmentationView in Network Editor but I'm not seeing any corresponding Qt widget in Qt Designer (using the Qt Designer (4.4.0) from the CLAM Windows binary downloads).

I'm able to compile CLAM/Network Editor (using Qt 4.5.0...getting compiler when trying to build against Qt4.4.0). When I try to import the CLAMWidget.dll from my build into my qt plugins\designer folder, the plugin does not load successfully. Choosing Help/About Plugins reveals the following error:
