[ANNOUNCE] Media subsystem workshop 2011 - Prague - Oct 24-26

[Mauro Carvalho Chehab]

Media subsystem workshop 2011 - Prague - Oct 24-26

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.

The Media subsystem workshop is on early planning stages, but the idea
is that we'll have an entire day to do the media discussions. We'll 
also planning to have workshop presentations inside the Kernel Summit
2011 with the workshop and Kernel Summit attendants present, where 
workshop results will be presented.

So, I'd like to invite V4L, DVB and RC developers to submit proposals
for the themes to be discussed. Please email me if you're interested
on being invited for the event.

Hoping to see you soon there!
Mauro

I'm definitely interested. As the event will gather developers from multiple 
subsystems, I think we should have a sohrt Media Controller presentation. ALSA 
is going to adopt the API, and KMS developers seem to be interested as well.

Yes, a Media Controller presentation there to the full audience sounds interesting 
to me.

Thanks,

Added the ML.

Indeed.

Too bad there isn't a single driver that complies :-)

This has convinced me to come to Prague for this + kernel summit. So I
hope I can get an invitation :)

The below website says Oct 23 - 25, I'm confused now and I hope
to book a plane ticket soon. Can someone tell me which
dates are correct ?

There has been talk from within the LF about shifting the kernel summit
forward one day (starting the 23rd) to minimize conflicts with LinuxCon
and such.  I wasn't aware that this action had actually been taken, but I
guess it has.  I would consider the web site to be correct.

Yes. I was waiting for having a confirmation that this change were oficially
announced before updating the info. I fixed the information there today to
reflect the new schedule.

Hans,

Thanks for warning me about that!
