Hello!
I'm really interested in participating this year at gsoc as part of
your team. I'm writting you this email to get your attention and maybe to
get a hint for this year's project. I'm in my second year at University
Politehnica of Bucharest at the Faculty of Automatic Control and Computers
and I study for a degree in Computer Science and Information Technology. I
wanna start early this year contributing to the project as I wish to show
you that I will be a great addition to your team. If I have caught your
attention and you want to communicate me anything, I can be contacted on
this mail.
- Many thanks, Costin Visan

We seem to be back to normal state.
Please report if some service is still not working properly.

Dear all,
Due to an unexpected outage touching our hoster infrastructure, our DB server is currently down and it affects all the web services relying on it. So, don't expect Jira, boards, wiki, website, and so on to work properly for now,
I'll keep you informed when I have more information.

Feature Request CORE-15418 to create a ReactOS Default Media Player
using the code from Media Player Classic.
This feature request was discussed some time ago on the forum at length
and it came to little conclusion, some wanting to bundle VLC, others
wanting to bundle classic media player - an open source tool that has
recently received some attention. The importance of a media player was
noted but one of the main problems was left out.
The nub of the problem is this:
Windows has a default media player provided as a core part of the
system. It is not just a media player, being so tightly integrated into
Windows it is used by (some/many?) apps to produce the default sounds
and video that emanate from normal program usage.
Note that on Windows, ActiveX/COM allows access to system level
components and one of those components that is defined as a system level
resource is the windows media player (WMP). COM allows programs to make
calls to WMP to allow them to play embedded videos or audio tracks
within their applications without having to design their own player and
bundle their own codecs. The use of WMP means that a far greater range
of codecs will be available and the chances of being able to play a
particular type of file are increased. *Without such a player these
Windows applications will not function as intended.*
See the description here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/window ...

<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/wmp/about-the-player-objec…>
ReactOS is not a straight o/s without any whizzes or dongles, ie. it
already has such bundled apps as games and the ReactOS version of
paintbrush. So, the concept of bundling apps is already set, ie. it is
perfectly OK to have apps bundled with ReactOS and ReactOS will have
them when released. It is just a matter of which applications are
bundled. I propose we add Media Player Classic as the default media player.
A Windows Media Player type application would be very useful, in fact
essential to replace the windows media player that came bundled with
Windows, it will need to be a straight drop in replacement for WMP.
Indeed, users expect the basic components of an o/s to be present and
although RAPPS allows users to install the components they need, some
applications are integrated into the o/s far more than others. I would
suggest that it is time to re-open this debate and consider using the
open source Media Player Classic as ReactOS own embedded version of WMP
and to ensure that active X/COM controls can see Media Player Classic
just as WMP is disclosed as the default media player in Windows.
MPC looks like a media player that ReactOS could use. It is written in
C++ and is open source and it supported by the devs at doom9. It seems
to me that the only thing missing from Media player classic is the
Active X control that allows Windows/ReactOS programs access to its
functions. With that control in place it might be a perfect drop-in
replacement for WMP and would restore that missing sound functionality
to programs giving ReactOS added compatibity.
Request raised here in JIRA:
https://jira.reactos.org/browse/CORE-15418
Hope this finds you all well this Christmas and that you will consider
this feature request for later inclusion.

Hi all!
With Christmas fast approaching and many people traditionally being
unavailable over the holidays (myself included), let me prepone our
monthly meeting to tomorrow, Thursday, December 20, 2018, 19:00 UTC.
Invited members will again receive their IRC Server credentials shortly
before the meeting.
Note that due to the recent infra changes, your IRC username will now be
based on the Display Name you set in
https://reactos.org/roslogin/?p=selfservice (spaces replaced by
underscores). Please check that before the meeting.
However, as our self-hosted Mattermost server is being set up right now,
this may as well be our last meeting on IRC :)
I wouldn't mind if it's just about the Status Updates from everybody
this time, given that the November meeting was really long and a lot of
things should be in progress.
Let's also not forget about our preparations for Google Summer of Code!
Cheers,
Colin
<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12px"></span>Hi,<br>
<br>
There is in principle (almost) all the infrastructure to implement the Retry/Skip/Abort dialog in usetup.<br>
The freezing you encounter is however a bug I should investigate.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

<div>I don´t think its a good idea to "skip" a file during 1st stage, specially core files (in 2nd stage it might be acceptable for some device drivers, for example)</div>

<div>So, if "cloning" the Win2k3 behavior, i would set only 2 options: retry or abort installation and reboot.</div>

Hi all!
Another important change has just been applied to ReactOS
infrastructure: https://build.reactos.org and https://irc.reactos.org
now use ReactOS.org accounts. Finally, we have a real global login
system where you can access all ReactOS services with the same account!
Please let me know if or if not things work for you, as I may have
forgotten to add some accounts to the BuildBot group.
If everything works well, we are technically ready to launch a
Mattermost instance using the same accounts as the next step :)
Cheers,
Colin
