The edid-decode utility is used to decode an EDID into human-readable text. It has been maintained for a long time by Adam Jackson, but he no longer had the time for it, so Hans Verkuil has taken over maintenance and the git repo has been moved to git://linuxtv.org/edid-decode.git.

As discussed on our IRC #v4l channel at Freenode, we'll be running a
1-day Linux Media Summit in San Diego on April, 7, just after the Embedded
Linux Conference.
Feel free to submit relevant topics related to the Linux Kernel
support for media, in order to help us to build the workshop's agenda
and take other needs into account when working on it.
As usual, we'll be using the media-workshop@linuxtv.org ML for the
specific discussions about that, so the ones interested on participate

This is the report for the Linux Kernel Summit Media Workshop
in Seoul, South Corea, Oct, 26 2015.
mchehab
This is the first workshop dedicated to the Linux Media Controller.
We had a v4l summit back in 2010 in Finland that established the current
foundation for the media controller, and to properly satisfy the needs
of reporting the pipelines on the smartphone System on a Chip (SoC).
The
focus of this year’s workshop was to clarify the kernel➞userspace
interfaces and extend the Media Controller to be used on other
subsystems that need to represent graphs like Digital Video Broadcasting
(DVB), Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA),
and Industrial I/O (IIO).
mchehab
As discussed on our IRC #v4l channel at Freenode, we'll be running a 3-day
Media Controller workshop in Helsinki between July 29-31.
The main goal of this workshop is to fixup the problems with the Media
Controller API to properly represent device nodes and the control tree,
as this is a requirement for the Media Controller to be used by DVB, ALSA
and radio devices.
This is an invitation-only event, as we want to be sure that we'll have
there people that are actively working with the Media Controller, DVB
and/or ALSA. So, if you think this is for you, please send us an e-mail.
Also, even if you're not able to participate, feel free to submit relevant
topics related to the Media Controller, in order to help us to build
the workshop's agenda and take other needs into account when working on
the needed API changes.
As usual, we'll be using the media-workshop@linuxtv.org ML for the
specific discussions about that, so the ones interested on participate
on such discussions and/or be present there are requested to subscribe
it, and to submit themes of interest via the mailing lists.
For those interested on this theme, I'll add a list of the most relevant
past discussions about this theme on this news.
Hope to see you there!
Mauro.

We had our second 2014's Media Summit on Oct, 17-18 in Düsseldorf.
In the name of the organizing committee, I'd like to thank you all for
being there with us during those two days.
There were several good discussions that happened during the meeting,
aimed to improve even more the Linux media subsystem.
Also, it was agreed during the meeting that we'll try to reach an even
broader audience on the next events. So we're counting with all you
on our next year's event(s).
Thanks,
Mauro

This year, the Media subsystem workshop will happen together with
the Kernel Summit 2011
More details are available at the 2011 meeting page.
Since 2007, we're doing annual mini-summits for the media subsystem, in order
to plan the new features that will be introduced there.
Last year, during the Kernel Summit 2010,
it was decided that the Kernel Summit 2011
format will be modified, in order to strength the interaction between
the several sub-system mini-summits and the main Kernel Summit. If this idea
works well, the next Kernel Summits will also follow the same format.
So, some mini-summits were proposed to happen together with the
Kernel Summit 2011.
Among a few others, the Media subsystem was accepted to be held with this year's Kernel Summit.
So, we'd like to announce that the Media subsystem workshop 2011 will happen together
with the Kernel Summit 2011.
Enjoy!

Xawtv3 remained without updates for a long time. So, distros were adding
bug fix patches on their packages. Also, some tools used to support just

evolutions. The slides are now available for download at LinuxTV
website.

After years of discussions, several
patch series and two different proposed approaches, LinuxTV
developers finally decided that S2API is the better technical
proposal and should be accepted as the way to allow supporting newer
DTV standards, starting with DVB-S2.
