Then I'd better start on that technical content :-) Here is a short overview of the topics I want to put on the agenda (in no particular order): - Media controller progress. Especially with regards to the roadmap of getting this merged. - Memory handling. See this link for a report on a preliminary meeting: http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-media@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg16618.html It would be nice if we can spend some more time on the memory pool concept. - V4L1 removal. We need to decide how we are going to do this. In particular the role that libv4l1 can play in this is of interest. Also: which unmaintained applications should we 'adopt' and convert from V4L1 to V4L2. - Work on the V4L core framework: what is in place, what still needs to be done, what other parts can be moved to the core. - Compliance tests. I'd like to start discussing this as well. I think we have to start work on a tool that will do basic compliance testing of new (and existing) drivers. The API is so big that it is way too easy to forget things. My guess is that at least 80% of all drivers violate the spec in one way or another. Relates as well to the framework topic: if we can move more into the core, then it is much easier to enforce spec compliance. - Anything else someone wants to discuss?
