			llo Marcin,

			some time ago you asked about the interest of the AxiomTeam to develop a cheap version of the camera. Now i found the post of some ccc guys who are working on it:

			[14:48] <marcin___> Bertl - no, no issues with CERN license.
			[14:48] <marcin___> Just details.
			[14:50] <marcin___> What is the market volume for professional cameras? Is it on the order of 1000 sold per year? Do you have any market data links?
			[14:52] <marcin___> I wanted to ask if you have considered Efficient Production On the Quantity of One. We specialize in that. For example, we can build our 1 ton brick press in a single day by using volunteers in a weekend immersion workshop. We are doing this for all of our machines. Have you thought about this for Axiom?
			[14:53] <Bertl> not really yet, although I try to be as efficient as possible when building the Axiom :)
			[15:01] <se6astian> we can do an assembly party and all visit Bertl on the weekend

			[15:26] == marcin___ [63c36fda@gateway/web/freenode/ip.99.195.111.218] has joined #apertus
			[15:26] <marcin___> What is the market volume for professional cameras? Is it on the order of 1000 sold per year? Do you have any market data links?
			[15:26] <Bertl> hozer: like the "lantern"?
			[15:26] <marcin___> How do I not get booted off IRC if my computer goes dormant?
			[15:26] <Bertl> marcin___: no idea
			[15:27] <hozer> aaah, run it from a server?
			[15:27] <Bertl> marcin___: by using an irc bouncer
			[15:27] <hozer> I run finch on my server that's running all the time
			[15:28] == niemand [~niemand@095129206169.cust.akis.net] has joined #apertus
			[15:28] <Bertl> there is also bip and muh
			[15:28] <marcin___> bertl - such as ZNC on ubuntu?
			[15:28] <hozer> or there's this: http://irc.apertus.org/index.php?day=12&month=01&year=2015
			[15:29] <hozer> (irc log)
			[15:29] <Bertl> yes, you can also simply read up on the irc logs
			[15:29] <hozer> well, only if the channel has logs
			[15:30] <hozer> Bertl: I'm not familiar with the lantern reference
			[15:31] <Bertl> marcin___: but ZNC won't help if you install it on the computer which goes "dormant"
			[15:31] <Bertl> hozer: FOSS outernet receiver
			[15:32] <hozer> znc needs to be run on your server
			[15:32] <Bertl> or _a_ server :)
			[15:34] <hozer> so is lantern actually FOSS, or pseudo-OSS cause it makes good marketing
			[15:34] <marcin___> How many professional cameras are there in the world, guess? 1 Million?
			[15:35] <hozer> well, I don't think the point is pro cameras, it's the interesting things you can do with a pro-level camera that are not possible with proprietary cameras
			[15:36] <hozer> like a high-dynamic range welding mask that lets you see the arc and the workpiece
			[15:37] <marcin___> Ok. Statistics for later. How do I set up an irc log on opensourceecology.org? Install IRC client first, then set up log? I'm not a programmer.
			[15:37] <hozer> so how many professional TIG welders (people) are there in the world
			[15:38] <hozer> well 1, create a separate account for irc
			[15:38] <hozer> 2: sudo apt-get install finch
			[15:38] <marcin___> Professional welders - about 1 for every 1000 population at least, so I estimate 7 million as a low count.
			[15:41] <hozer> how many of them would want one of these: http://www.eyetap.org/~siggraph2012/
			[15:42] <hozer> every farmer I know has at least 2 welders
			[15:43] <hozer> so I'd say the open, component-based HDR welding camera market is at least 10,000
			[15:43] <marcin___> If we use Freenode IRC, can I easily create an IRC log from that?
			[15:43] <marcin___> http://opensourceecology.org/wiki/IRC
			[15:44] <hozer> what does apertus use for logging?
			[15:44] <Bertl> a small (yet unpublished) program that I wrote a few years ago
			[15:45] <Bertl> actually more than a century ago :)
			[15:45] <hozer> hah
			[15:45] <hozer> interesting comments: https://www.apertus.org/irc-archives-available-article
			[15:46] <hozer> marcin___: also have a look at https://freenode.net/channel_guidelines.shtml , which gives some reason why you might not want to have irc logs
			[15:47] <hozer> so maybe keep them for yourself, which is what I sometimes do
			[15:53] <Bertl> off for a nap ... bbl
			[15:53] == Bertl has changed nick to Bertl_zZ
			[15:53] <marcin___> So the main case against IRC logs is that IRC is more of a private discussion where people don't expect their words to be recorded for ever?
			[15:54] <intracube> se6astian: why are you asking for motion graphics folk?
			[15:55] <marcin___> What is the critique of TED Talks - I have seen some comments in the log implying their negative side?
			[15:55] == Bertl_zZ [~herbert@213.145.232.42]
			[15:55] == realname : Herbert Pötzl
			[15:55] == channels : #apertus
			[15:55] == server : sendak.freenode.net [Vilnius, Lithuania, EU]
			[15:55] == account : Bertl
			[15:55] == End of WHOIS
			[15:55] == Bertl_zZ [~herbert@213.145.232.42]
			[15:55] == realname : Herbert Pötzl
			[15:55] == channels : #apertus
			[15:55] == server : sendak.freenode.net [Vilnius, Lithuania, EU]

			[15:55] == server : sendak.freenode.net [Vilnius, Lithuania, EU]
			[15:55] == account : Bertl
			[15:55] == End of WHOIS
			[15:56] <marcin___> Why did Apertus publish ists IRC logs? Because the temperature here is low?
			[15:56] <hozer> hrrm, cause irc has a long history of flamewars, and so you tend to write in interactive media for the people interactively participating in the conversation
			[15:58] <hozer> hrrm. TED talks. Sometimes I feel like the people that give TED talks are better at marketing than doing
			[15:59] <hozer> I can't actually figure out a coherent critique besides that right now
			[16:00] <marcin___> What do you suggest for a log of technical development discussions? I've seen forums blow up on this. I was hoping that IRC may contain a valuable 'history.' But maybe some Stack Overflow upvoting mediium must be best for distilling technical discussion? I'm trying to figure that out for OSE.
			[16:00] <hozer> so I like mailing lists, and IRC
			[16:01] <hozer> because that's what I'm familiar with, and they both have standard protocols and open-source servers
			[16:01] <hozer> forums are centralized, and I have little choice on how to view the forum
			[16:02] <hozer> where as email and irc I have several options for the client of my choice. Also think about how do visually impaired people participate in these discussions
			[16:02] <marcin___> RepRap forums are centralized, for example?
			[16:03] <hozer> yes
			[16:03] <hozer> any forum, while it might be open source, how do I get a copy if maintainer running the forum gets pissed off or runs out of money?
			[16:03] <marcin___> So if you were running the reprap project, you would get rid of forums and go to mailing lists to facilitate technical development?
			[16:04] <hozer> well
			[16:05] <hozer> with unlimited budget, I'd contract developers to write a new interface for GNU mailman so it looks like the latest greatest most popular forum
