This wiki is intended to become an authoritative source of information regarding the use of analog video and digital TV sources under Linux -- i.e. [[What is V4L or DVB?|the subject matters covered under the V4L & DVB frameworks]]. The basic plan is to aggregate information about available hardware, how V4L or DVB work, software used with the hardware and so forth. Like all other wikis, the V4L-DVB wiki relies upon the contributions of its users. Hence, it will only be as useful as we make it! <br> |

'''Announcement: 2012 Media Subsystem Summit'''<br> |
|||
Once again, the Linux Media Subsystem looks to hold its own workshop, running along side and during the 2012 Linux Kernel Summit (KS/2012), being held, between August 26-28th, in San Diego, CA., U.S.A. Preliminary discussions about the range of topics and details for the forthcoming event can be found in a pair of threads on the mailing list (unfortunately, the discussion got fractured into two for some unimportant reason): |
|||
* http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-media@vger.kernel.org/msg49006.html |
|||
* http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-media@vger.kernel.org/msg49169.html |
|||
If you wish to see particular subject matters addressed during the summit or are interested in participating in the series talks, now is the time to figure that all out! --19:32, 21 July 2012 (CEST) |

'''Look Out GSoC, Here Comes CSoC (Crope's Summer of Code) !'''<br> |
|||
A (very) belated congratulations goes out to Antti Palosaari (aka "Crope" on IRC) for his project's acceptance into this year's [http://code.google.com/soc/ GSoC]. Antti will be focusing on bringing improvements to the DVB USB framework and, as well, to the DVB-core itself. More information can be found in the following links: |
|||
* http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-media@vger.kernel.org/msg46062.html |
|||
* http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/google/gsoc2012/crope/10001 |
|||
* http://blog.palosaari.fi/ |
|||
And, if your curiosity has really been piqued by this, but the above links prove insufficient, you can find even further details related to this work in a number of the discussions that have occurred on the Linux-media mailing list over the past eight weeks or so. |
|||
Hopefully in the future we shall see further interest and participation in the GSoC program; it really is an excellent opportunity afforded to students and there are just sooooo many areas in the realm of V4L-DVB code that could use improvement/refinement and, hence, could make for interesting summer projects. --06:47, 2 July 2012 (CEST) |
