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 Düsseldorf, 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'd like to participate in the media mini-summit. Here are some themes I'd be interested in:
- Helping userspace to use mem2mem devices; clarification of encoder/decoder handling, clarification of format/size setting in case of dependencies between input and output formats, possibly broad categorisation of mem2mem devices (encoder, decoder, scaler, rotator, csc/filter, ...)
- Hierarchical media devices - what if you have a lot of media entities and some of them are more closely related to each other than others.
