I feel obliged to point out that the GA vote Michael called n this ends on 11 Feb,after the due date listed here. Turns out dropping this on the list under 2 weeks before the due date was a poor choice. - Derek ___ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
[FFmpeg-devel] Call for SOWs [due Feb 10 at 23:59 UTC]
Hi all, Below is a proposal for creating a proposal to the STF -- I offered to Michael to help, and here we are. The objective, as I understand it, is to unlock funds for individuals that are interested in contributing to the FFMPEG codebase, subject to the STF criteria [1]. The suggested approach is that interested individuals email me, no later than Feb 10 at 23:59 UTC, a completed SOW using the template at [2]. It is important IMHO that there is a developer and a defined amount attached to each SOW, otherwise it creates uncertainty and thus increases the management burden and reduces the chances that the proposal is accepted. It is also important that the aggregate value of the SOWs is greater than €150,000 (minimum STF funding). This call for SOWs is completely voluntary, there is no guarantee that all SOWs are accepted by SPI, and the chances of success are unknown (to me). The SOWs (minus personal information and amounts) will be published. I am happy to collate the SOWs and forward them to SPI, who would handle the submission to STF and payments to contributors as the case may be. I am also happy to be educated and proven wrong. I am also happy to do nothing. Best, -- Pierre [1] https://www.sovereigntechfund.de/programs/applications#evaluation-criteria [2] https://docs.google.com/document/d/1unVsF5nwvKQ8rKbrEHN9NZIEvL73CV5zpB9OK0DrSG8 ___ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
