Dear Virgilio,
I've seen this invitation and I thought about your beautiful microkernel. Is it too early to think in a VLC port? No doubt, very early, indeed. Is it too early to plan a media kit, server, from scratch?, possibly. In both ways, We do need to take action and this kind of instance makes an interesting opportunity to conceive a new kind of media technologies on top of a better kernel, like SPARTAN.
Thanks for letting us know, thanks for the invitation and sorry for the late reply. I was really thinking about it for some time, but it is simply very far-fetched.
I am not talking about porting VLC or any of the associated libraries to HelenOS. That might be an interesting task indeed. But we are still missing some important pieces to turn HelenOS into a media box (besides the capabilities to decode media files) and more pressing issues. Therefore I will skip the dev days. Maybe next time.
