Re: European LibriVox branch?

I just approved your post. You will see that it is a small project - that's why, during registration, you are invited to send me an e-mail after 48 hours of non-moderation ;-)

Re: European LibriVox branch?

I'm wondering - is there any 'official' response to the new platform Legamus? Legamus is not that new any more - in summer it will be 10 years ;-) As Availle said, there are only projects on Legamus that cannot be done on LV (but are public domain in life+70 countries). So there is no direct compet...

Re: The Advantage Of Multiple Versions

Sometimes I'm musing about the very different behaviours and atmospheres in online communities: Free Software projects or Linux distributions, Wikipedia (where each language community is different), and LV... all of them are full of excellent people but the tone can be very different (and I'm not ev...

Re: ISO new laptop/device for recording

There are many criteria when buying laptops. I'll tell you mine, up to you to decide whether they are valid for you or not :-) SSD disks are generally much faster, less noisy, and more robust to shocks than magnetic disks, but they are also smaller (or more expensive per gigabyte), which is only a p...

Re: e-book "The Book of Audacity" (No Starch Press) in the $1 HumbleBundle level

Most other books in the bundle are about Linux and BSD, yes; there are also a few for multi-platform graphics applications like GIMP and Inkscape. The Audacity book is for all platforms (though its author is a veteran journalist in the Linux world). The book contains a narrow chapter (12 pages) abou...

e-book "The Book of Audacity" (No Starch Press) in the $1 HumbleBundle level

While there are many excellent free on-line resources, I'd just like to point out that "The Book of Audacity" by Carla Schroder (No Starch Press) is, for the next 19 days, included in the $1 level of this "HumbleBundle": https://www.humblebundle.com/books/linux-bsd-bookshelf-2019...

Re: [OPEN] Dutch Fairy Tales for Young Folks - philc

Here are the Kabouters and their bells: https://librivox.org/uploads/philchenevert/dutchfairytalesforyoungfolks_09_griffis_128kb.mp3 I'm not too happy with the THs, tried to equalize them down a bit. Hope it is acceptable. I had a little windshield but next time I'll change the positioning or constr...

Re: [OPEN] Dutch Fairy Tales for Young Folks - philc

Thanks Phil! Kabouters are kobolds, playing tricks on but also helping men. In this story they are most helpful. The friendliness of the story is what made me choose it - I'm trying to get my son interested into audiobooks, starting with my own voice. Also, it's been too long a time that I did only ...

FIXED [empty catalogue page] German "Erzählungen für Kinder"

Hello, are the issues with "empty catalogue pages for recently finished projects" supposed to be resolved by now?

At least
http://librivox.org/erzaehlungen-fuer-kinder-von-various/
still has problems!

All the best,
Viktor.

Re: European LibriVox branch?

Here's the forum: http://legamus.eu/forum I copied a subset of LV's categories there. Hokuspokus, you have admin rights; please feel free to use them as you wish! Anyone else wants some?

Re: European LibriVox branch?

It would need much technical expertise, which I can't offer, and it won't start as small as LibriVox did at the beginning because there are so many established readers now. In other words, it would need a dedicated team right from the start and it would be hard work. I hope that technically we can ...

Re: European LibriVox branch?

Name : When I chose "legamus" (Latin for: "let's read"), I looked for something general yet not totally of the road. If you wish so, I offer that domain - my current pages may well be "de.legamus.eu" or a different subdomain. Or something else in Latin or Greek? I like...

European LibriVox branch?

The critical point is file hosting, like Availle said. Another critical point is that we need to keep US law and EU law apart. So we would need to have a completely separate infrastructure, uploader, forum, machinery behind the scene. Else we would risk serious legal problems. Even the name LibriVo...
