As we did in 2012, we're planning to do a media summit again at KS/2012.
Excellent.
The KS/2012 will happen in San Diego, CA, US, between Aug 26-28, just before the LinuxCon North America.
In order to do it, I'd like to know who is interested on participate, and to get proposals about what subjects will be discussed there, in order to start planning the agenda.
I'm interested. I like the idea of some cross-subsystem pollination, talking with the ALSA people for example ...
That's very much in line with the KS/LPC spirit, I'd like to see that happen as well. We've been talking about media controller support in ALSA for ages :-)
and given that ARM is growing, I'd like to catch up and understand where ARM silicon is heading in terms of embedded video decoding and any support for hardware specific features we may / may not have / need.
Information about future directions is unfortunately usually private, but we can always ask. To be honest I sometimes feel like even SoC vendors themselves don't know where they're heading to :-) If only that, a presentation about the latest media-related hardware developments on ARM would be good to get everybody up to speed.
... and of course, if we have anyone from Intel then we should be asking if/when their Intel Media SDK (hardware H264 encoding) is going to become a reality, or possibly kickstart that process.
