Hi,
As there are still too things to be discussed in order to improve media stuff, and most of the developers nowadays are located in Europe and usually go to ELCE, we're scheduling a two day mini-summit in DÃŒsseldorf, Germany, on Thrusday/Friday.
There is a perfect opportunity to discuss the media Kernel-Userspace API improvements that are required for newer devices to work. So, we hope to have there the major Kernel contributors to the media subsystem, and some people working on userspace, in order to be sure that we'll match the needs required on userspace.
In order to properly organize the event, I need the name of the developers interested on joining us, plus the themes proposed for discussions.
I'll likely be able to attend too. ATM I'm working on camera support in Android. I think Hans discussed related topics at the previous summit in the US too, which I didn't manage to attend unfortunately. I'll try to double-check results of those discussions and see which topics I'd be interested in discussing further.
On a related note, since I live something like 80km from the venue, I was thinking about possibly helping to organise a media event in my town - in Aachen, or in Düsseldorf itself or in neighbouring Cologne (Köln). Let me know if there's interest. We could use Saturday the 18th of October for that.
Thanks Guennadi
As usual, we'll be using the media-workshop@linuxtv.org ML for specific discussions about that, so the ones interested on participate are requested to subscribe it.
Thanks! Mauro
