Logiciel libre en lien avec le monde du spectacle vivant

llo - Je travaille dans le monde du spectacle (je fais principalement du son). Et quand je peux, j’utilise du logiciel libre !
Du coup, je vous ai fait une petite page framalibre pour vous les lister, s’il y a des régisseureuses ou des artistes ici que ça pourrait intéresser : saimyx.github.io/logiciels-pour-le-spectacle-vivant/

Bon les filles j'te ferai dire que quand je valide des bouts de sons sur Common Voices y a que des voix de mecs, et donc qu'on court à la catastrophe de reproduire des trucs nuls dans un projet chouettos!

Participez ne prend que qq minutes, (ça peut être qq minutes par jour, par semaine... ) et c'est pour aider des projets comme Scribe à nous aider librement.

Deux candidats m'ont contactés pour le Google Summer of Code 2024, afin de travailler sur #Lingualibre . Je mène donc le suivit et l'onboarding . Je réalise également que nous assistons je l'espère à l'arrivé d'une 4ème génération de collègues-developpeurs sur le project Lingualibre après :

✅ video recording workshop with local deaf association IRIS, done ! 9am-5pm.
👇🏼 Few toots on this + Wikimedia efforts.

When documenting audio languages with @lingualibre , we were asked about signed languages. We hadn't think about that 🤔

Hugo,
@Hugo@wikis.world avatar

Wikimedian Edouard Lopez submitted a web extension mock up. @Wikimedia_Fr liked the idea and saw the opportunity to expand Lingualibre's language documentation toward signed language. They commissioned @0x010C (who previously build Lingualibre) to create it and to expand the recording studio toward video recording, which he did. Lingualibre for Firefox extension is born and published on Firefox addon store. 😍🤟🏼

Wikimedia France contacted and collaborated with a leading Sign language association in France, Elix. They shared under open licence 100 of their 20,000 signed videos and liked the prototype so much... They stopped collaborating and hired their own developper in order to keep their video assets and SignIt-copycat extension copyrighted. 🤡💀

Long and fiery winter night it is ! User:Dragons_Bot is importing frequency lists in 500 more from Unilex into . Dragons Bot script is running tonight, editing Lili persistently. We then will have common words list for 1001 languages, ready for you to record. At step 3 of the Recording Studio, click "local list", then search List:{your_iso}/Unilex and you are good to go ! If your community's languages aren't there you can let me know below. 🎉

INSPECT

I now got 8,598 Chinese audios. As usual, we progress with a small sample of files. The cycle goes :
-investigate
-code
-fix
-expand.

Thank good I document most of my actions on for past decade ! Dozen of Help pages to onboard junior programmers.

https://lingualibre.org/wiki/Help:Converting_audios#Helpers

I updated a bit the command thanks to ChatGPT's suggestions. To print the Shtooka files' rich metadata, try :

$ ffprobe -hide_banner ./data/cmn-0a0a8a8b.ogg

*HSK version 1, from the 2000s

METADATA OF INTEREST

Among the twenty metadata this Chinese audio file contains, several are of intestest.

- speaker name  
- speaker LL id  
- speaker gender  
- uploader username  
- Wikidata language id  
- word  
- date of creation  
- open license

Great ! I need those value for WikimediaCommons Template:Lingua_libre_record. 😉

WIKIBOT

Dragons_Bot stands upon NodeJS and , a powerful JS framework I use. (I love this project, so I was also involved in its documentation.) It has 44 stars ⭐ on github :

https://kanasimi.github.io/wikiapi/

As of now, I have a decent script which creates the suitable wikitext and filename to upload, audios converted to .wav, and a clean data file to run the whole.

Sidenote: A more popular alternative for JS devs wanting a is (750 ⭐ ) :

[Temporary toot]
Ok ! I'm done for today. As visible in the previous screenshot I got too much Shtooka metadata from audio files (ffmpeg). I need enlightenment from Nicolas Vion to know if the duplications I see there and indeed duplications or not. Phoning him later. When I get the greenlight, then I can mass import those HSK audios.

Will you notice the differences ?

@lingualibre being , web developer and Wikimedian @elfix jumped in and switched our SPARQL endpoint url. This revives an important but heavy query to document and visualize biases, in order to counter it.

, as most @Wikimedia projects, reproduce gender and diversity biases. Our movement therefore leads explicit efforts for inclusivity and diversity.

🎉 Finally ! Wikimedia Commons was blocking upload of files & filenames with characters in some minority writing systems.

With today's change those characters and filenames are now accepted on Commons and therefore . It allows Lingualibre & Wikimedia to support more and smaller languages & cultures.

Doesn't seem much but Lili members have been pushed this issue since 2021.

It's now fixed thank to MW dev @LucasWerkmeister and User:Nikki.❤️ https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki%3ATitleblacklist&diff=845765023&oldid=829500280

Woow !! just made a +6 languages jump tonight ! I saw some unfamiliar iso codes yesterday in the upload logs, I need to investigate.

What a week for !
Lingualibre is rich in .s data but also in huge need of web developers and outreach efforts.
I've been monitoring potential grants for a time, gathering all those i could identify in a Grants table.

@Wikimedia_Fr and French Ministry of Culture are providing an helpful yearly lifeline for software maintenance.

But we need more to be above water and being bold.

@wikimediafoundation's Technology Fund was my main hope. But after monitoring it for 2 years and despite being a very necessary lifeline for Wikimedia's open source projects, it hasn't started yet. 😢 I still hope it will somedays, but ... https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Programs/Wikimedia_Research_%26_Technology_Fund

@Hugo@wikis.world avatar

Two month ago, the @wikimediafoundation got accepted within the Google Summer of Code 2024 !

The GSoC is a @Google funded summer project were Google pays the internship for junior developers to contribute to open source codebases.

So I took my Grant writter / Mentor hat, and submitted not one, but TWO Lingualibre coding projects.

9. Lingua Libre Signlt Lingua Libre's mission has been extended to Sign Languages in 2019. Both a click-and-translate Firefox extension and a video recording studio have been developped. Both system Ul exist in 35+ languages allowing the global documentation and leaming of sign languages. As Screenshot. Manisfest v2.0 extensions are being phased out, the project is under threat. A full revamp into manifest v3.0 and a modern extension structure would allow the project to be compatible with all web navigators. - Tech stack: JS, NodeJs, potentially modem frameworks (Vue, React, Svelte) - Size: 90 hours - Difficulty: Intermediate - Mentor(s): Yug - Relevant links.

LinguaLibre v3

The First is to speed up the deployment of the next version of Lingualibre, with easier to maintain, easier to query application. It is critical for every open source project to be easy to dive in, to fix, and expand. This effort will be co-mentored with @Poslovitch

And gosh ! In just few days, 7 junior developers expressed interest in this GSoC24 . I onboarded 5 of them. 3 of whom already cloned the repository and started hacking around that /Vuejs. 😮🎇

Hugo,
@Hugo@wikis.world avatar

LinguaLibre SignIt

The Second one is to revamp , the click-to-translate web extension we use for . This extension is cute, awesome, and can assist us all to learn sign languages ! But is in a deadly impasse for two reasons :

  • it's Firefox only, with only <5% market share nowadays
  • .s are phasing out the version of code we use.
    A whole revamp is needed !

🔥IMPORTANT: We are looking for a 2nd mentor, with solid git/github (and ideally webextension) know how.
