[ANNOUNCE] Video hackfest
Locked
 
|
Hi,
I'd like to announce the Video hackfest.[1] Its goal is to improve the Linux desktop video experience. The hackfest will take place in Collabora's Barcelona offices on the 4 days from Thursday, November 19th to Sunday, November 22nd, 2009. See the wiki for details[1]. A big thanks goes to the X Foundation for funding and Collabora Multimedia for providing the location. The idea to this hackfest originated in my idea to bridge X, Cairo and GStreamer and make them work together better. I prototyped some code touching every part of the stack, the result of which can be seen on my blog[2][3]. If you are interested in technical details, I sent them to the gstreamer and cairo lists before[4][5]. While doing this work we realized that there is a lack of knowledge about the challenges that the other projects face. Which is when we decided to do a hackfest focussing on improving the Linux desktop video experience. We are currently in the process of collecting topics for the hackfest. The current list is at [6]. If you think there are issues that should be discussed and are missing from the list, just add them. You don't have to be a participant to do that. Just edit the wiki. Also, if you think this hackfest covers exactly the stuff you are hacking on and you should participate in the hackfest, it's most likely a sign you are right and I forgot you. In that case, please mail me at [hidden email] or poke me on IRC (my nick is Company on freenode) and we'll figure something out. We might even be able to pay for you, if you are a poor student.

It's not clear from the mail if simply by receiving it we're invited, but since I'm in the city I'll assume it's no problem to show up as long as we're willing to help out. I was thinking that maybe it's also a good occasion to celebrate 10 years of GStreamer over there, since I assume lots of GStreamer hackers will be around at that time. What do you think ?

Hi Benjamin,
I think that this is going to be a very interesting event and a chance for me to finally meet some people in the real life :) So count with me as I live close to Barcelona.
