[QUOTE="giovanisp, post: 284354, member: 79660"] Hello, The [URL="http://www.telematicsfreedom.org/en/archive/blog"]Telematics Freedom Foundation[/URL] is sponsoring [B]a study about the state of the art in current Media Center projects in the FLOSS[/B] (Free/Libre/Open Source Software) [B]community[/B]. [I]We picked the 10 most prominent FLOSS media center projects[/I] out there and we're now collecting information about their features, functionality and support. The 10 selected projects are: XBMC, MythTV, Boxee, Elisa, Neuros OSD, Freevo, My Media System, Entertainer, CenterStage+Plex and [I]MediaPortal[/I]. Because of our limited resources, we can't afford creating a Lab to run and test all 10 media centers. So we are relying on the community collective intelligence to gather all data necessary to provide you with a panoramic view on state of the art work in FLOSS Media Center projects. [I]There is one webform available for each project.[/I] The forms are very easy to compile and we invite Project Leaders, Developers and Power Users to actively participate. [B]So, what's the deal?[/B] [B]You can collaborate by:[/B] [LIST] [*] Filling the MediaPortal Profile form: [url=http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?key=pJJFyJNuvPdr3ZotD4UHEYQ]MediaPortal Profile - FLOSS MC Comparison Table[/url] [B]and/or[/B] [*] Sending any particular snapshots of your MC, links to demo videos or web reviews to info (at) telematicsfreedom (dt) org [/LIST] [B]The benefits are:[/B] [LIST] [*] you'll get for free a panoramic view on state of the art in all prominent media center floss projects out there; [*] you'll be promoting your favorite Media Center and showing how strong your community is; [*] if you contribute, you will have credits at the end of the paper, in your project section; [*] the best snapshots may be selected to appear on the paper and illustrate the project's UI [/LIST] You can participate anonymously, but if you decide to leave your name and email address you'll be given credit for your participation and will receive an email notification of when the paper is available for download (it will be free as in free speech and as in free beer :-) [I]Thank you for your consideration, Giovani Spagnolo - organizer Telematics Freedom Foundation[/I] [url=http://www.telematicsfreedom.org]Telematics Freedom Foundation[/url] [/QUOTE]
