During the MediaGoblin campaign, many people came up to me and said something along the lines of: "You know, I'm really glad to hear about this campaign. I've been wanting the FSF to do more along the lines of helping fund free software projects" and "I'm really glad to see …| MediaGoblin

Heya all! We had hoped in some ways we would be able to get out a new release mid-campaign... but it turns out the campaign itself has its own pull of energy. Well, we're nearing the end of it (you've donated, right? We could use your help!)... but we thought …| MediaGoblin
So the MediaGoblin fundraiser is in its last week, and we're coming near our goal of funding one year of dedicated MediaGoblin development. We're hoping over the next year to hit a point of MediaGoblin for the masses... AKA MediaGoblin 1.0! But wait... what exactly is MediaGoblin 1.0 …| MediaGoblin

Something fun today... last night I got contacted by Justin Nichol, who is self-described as "an entertainment designer, game designer and free culture advocate". He said he heard about the project, thought the mascot was cute, and wanted to paint it in his own style. That didn't prepare me for …| MediaGoblin
In the video we made for the MediaGoblin campaign, there's a part of the video which says: "What would happen if YouTube went away? What would happen to cat videos on the internet? It would be like a cat massacre." People seem to really respond to this part of the …| MediaGoblin

But we need help testing! We can use both: People who are already running MediaGoblin (test) instances …| MediaGoblin
Note: this post originally appeared on my personal blog. I got interviewed about MediaGoblin on the excellent Frostcast of FrostbiteMedia. This happened over a month ago, but life has been intense, and better late than never in blogging it. Anyway, I talked to Jonathan Nadeau who runs the podcast, and …| MediaGoblin

First of all, thanks to everyone who worked to get us to 0.0.2! GNU MediaGoblin is much further along than we'd even hoped it would be by this point. We're especially grateful to those of you who have become regular fixtures (dare we say goblinistas?) - in particular Jef …| MediaGoblin

The best part of working on MediaGoblin for me is working with our amazing community. I'm regularly impressed by the kind things that people do and the kind of energy we have in the project. That's usually visible most on the main MediaGoblin project's codebase, but there are other ways …| MediaGoblin
The funny thing about propaganda is that kids grok all the hysteria but none of the context. I was the kind of 80's kid who read Harriet the Spy and watched Get Smart reruns. I often thought about spies and whether or not they were watching me. The stakes were …| MediaGoblin
