What's new in the PeerTube community ?

<p><strong>You just hit 140 %</strong></p><p>Thanks a lot, this is awesome ! Let's make deluxe v1 - and its killer features - happen !</p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/518768/PeerTube-45K-triangles-1527071472.png"><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/518768/PeerTube-45K-triangles-1527071472.png"></a></p><p>As a reminder, these are the features we're talking about :</p><p><em><u>Video redundancy</u></em>, between PeerTube instances, mean that PeerTube hosters with powerful servers and great bandwidth could choose to help smaller PeerTube instances, and make the Fediverse more united and resilient.</p><p><em><u>Subscriptions throughout the Fediverse</u></em> would be a great feature for video watchers: they could subscribe to whatever they want, regardless of the Fediverse setting of the instance where they made their account: it'll empower users' freedom.</p><p> </p><p><strong>A mascot for PeerTube </strong></p><p>Last week, David Revoy suggested to choose and draw a mascot for PeerTube ! He started by calling on everyone to choose an animal which will represent the software : will it be a dog, a unicorn, a butterfly ? </p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://framapic.org/XgN4IAxihBNv/qXUMd0aTvL1D.png"><img alt="" src="https://framapic.org/XgN4IAxihBNv/qXUMd0aTvL1D.png"></a></p><p>(<a href="https://framapiaf.org/@davidrevoy/100237266533170150">https://framapiaf.org/@davidrevoy/100237266533170150</a>)</p><p>After many contributions on Mastodon and Twitter, 3 cute little critters - the swallow, the owl and the octopus - were chosen and battled their way to first place.</p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://framapic.org/rbTrq4g7qHW4/Rn1ijSWDe2KX.png"><img alt="" src="https://framapic.org/rbTrq4g7qHW4/Rn1ijSWDe2KX.png"></a> (<a href="https://framapiaf.org/@davidrevoy/100242959697788121">https://framapiaf.org/@davidrevoy/100242959697788121</a>)</p><p>Apparently, many people supported the lil' octopus and David Revoy seems to have taken into account the main critic against it.</p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://framapic.org/lWnlCyA5WFxZ/rYzgLCBBB5xY.png"><img alt="" src="https://framapic.org/lWnlCyA5WFxZ/rYzgLCBBB5xY.png"></a></p><p>(<a href="https://framapiaf.org/@davidrevoy/100247085931067286">https://framapiaf.org/@davidrevoy/100247085931067286</a>)</p><p>We want to thank all the persons who took part to the votes and thanks a lot to David Revoy for his ideas and his designs ! These kind of contributions are really valuable for us, because this is project is all yours too.</p><p>To be continued...</p><p> </p><p><strong>In the developer's own words </strong></p><p>Last thursday, Chocobozzz, the PeerTube's developer, wrote two articles about his software on medium, here and here. The <a target="_blank" href="https://medium.com/@chocobozzz/peertube-a-federated-video-streaming-platform-fa90e6c503df">first one</a> tells the story about the genesis of PeerTube : what are the purpose of the technologies used ! The <a target="_blank" href="https://medium.com/@chocobozzz/why-should-you-feel-concerned-about-peertube-bb4a55cd8c7c">second article</a> is an answer to those who ask "Why should I feel concerned about PeerTube?".
