Hi all, Since we have three separate half-day sessions for different topics I decided to split the announcement for this in three emails as well, so these things can be discussed in separate threads.
All sessions are in room Terreaux VIP Lounge - Level 0. There is a maximum of 15 people. The third session deals with future V4L2 API work and is on Wednesday afternoon from 14:00 to 18:00. Attendees for this session: Boris Brezillon <boris.brezil...@collabora.com> Alexandre Courbot <acour...@chromium.org> Nicolas Dufresne <nico...@ndufresne.ca> Tomasz Figa <tf...@chromium.org> Ezequiel Garcia <ezequ...@collabora.com> Daniel Gomez <dan...@qtec.com> Dafna Hirschfeld <dafna.hirschf...@collabora.com> Eugen Hristev <eugen.hris...@microchip.com> Shuah Khan <sk...@linuxfoundation.org> Helen Koike <helen.ko...@collabora.com> Jacopo Mondi <jac...@jmondi.org> Laurent Pinchart <laurent.pinch...@ideasonboard.com> Niklas Söderlund <niklas.soderl...@ragnatech.se> Stanimir Varbanov <stanimir.varba...@linaro.org> Hans Verkuil <hverk...@xs4all.nl> That's exactly 15 people, so the room is full. If I missed someone, or you are on the list but won't attend after all, then please let me know asap. Agenda: The main (only?) point of discussion is Boris' RFC v3 patch series: https://patchwork.linuxtv.org/cover/59345/ Thank you, Boris, for preparing this v3. Much appreciated! Attendees: please review his series before the meeting! Tomasz also suggested talking about exiting V4L2 limitations, esp. for handling complex cameras: - combinatorial explosion of /dev/video nodes, - significant ioctl overhead, - huge amount of historical legacy making the driver and userspace implementations overly difficult and prone to repetitive mistakes, - the above also limiting the flexibility of the API - formats, frame rates, etc. set using distinct APIs, not covered by Request API, with non-failure "negotiation hell", etc. - lack of fences, etc. I suspect we won't have time to discuss this. Would some of these topics be suitable for the libcamera session? If someone has other topics (but remember, we only have 4 hours!) then please reply to this announcement post. Regards, Hans
