Description Nuno Teixeira freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2022-08-24 14:54:43 UTC
Hello,

I remember read about webcamera setup in Handbook Multimedia chapter but it is not available now.

I found a good example that it might be good to add to Handbook:

Conferencing and Meetings

The Table of Contents for the article:

-    Camera Setup
-    Microphone Setup
-    Meetings
-    Closing Thoughts

Thanks

When in doubt if blog author (me) allows it - let me be clear here.

All posts on my blog - https://vermaden.wordpress.com/ - are posted under FreeBSD License. This means that you can use/copy whatever you want - you just need to mention the author.

Hope that helps.

Regards.

^Triage: reporter is committer, assign accordingly.

eduardo@ hi, I see that you are ports-oriented; and not usually a committer to the documentation tree. 

<https://wiki.freebsd.org/Developers#DeveloperLists>

<https://cgit.freebsd.org/doc/log/?qt=committer&q=eduardo> 

At seventy-five pages, the Documentation Project primer might be more than what's expected from a primer ;-) and re: the linked pull request (PR), a relevant part of the primer is confusing/misleading.

A handful of essentials that might help to progress things here: 

Document Type | Asciidoctor Docs
<https://docs.asciidoctor.org/asciidoc/latest/document/doctype/>

In this context, the FreeBSD Handbook is a book.  

Section Titles and Levels | Asciidoctor Docs
<https://docs.asciidoctor.org/asciidoc/latest/sections/titles-and-levels/>

AsciiDoc Syntax Quick Reference | Asciidoctor Docs
<https://docs.asciidoctor.org/asciidoc/latest/syntax-quick-reference/>


I see your account in GitHub. Do you have a Matrix account?

Thanks, some commentary at <https://old.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/oqwcdt/-/>. 

Generally (defocusing from The FreeBSD Foundation post): for what it's worth, I shouldn't attempt to include a compatibility table in the FreeBSD Handbook.
Comment 6 Graham Perrin freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2022-12-30 11:59:36 UTC
Triage, batch edit (just one): 

* for twenty-eight FreeBSD Handbook-related reports that had gained a 
  personal assignee, prior group/list assignee doc@ was 
  missing from the CC list.

Gentle hint: <https://wiki.freebsd.org/Bugzilla/> ▶ do, don't …
Comment 7 Nuno Teixeira freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2023-01-31 10:24:32 UTC
Assigning to doc@ as I'm a ports committer and I don't know how to do this work.

Thanks

    Upgrade multimedia chapter

    * Rework the chapter:

    * Upgrade sound section, tell the user that FreeBSD recognizes
      the sound card and there is no need to load any modules.
      Only in the very rare case that the sound card is not recognized.

    * Add table with sound mixers
    * Add info about how to automatically switching to headphones
    * Add table with audio players
    * Add table with video players
    * Add a new section about conferencing and meetings, inspired by [1]
    * Rework the image scanners section

    The webcam and scanner has been tested in a clean installation in
    FreeBSD 13.1 with the laptop "HP Notebook - 15-bw048ns" and
    the scanner "HP Deskjet 1050 J410"

Thank You.

FreeBSD Handbook is far more important place then any FreeBSD blog - including my own one.
