Hello Everybody! I am Helen and I've been selected by the Outreachy Program (https://gnome.org/outreachy) to work in the Media Controller Virtual Driver project (http://kernelnewbies.org/LaurentPinchart), mentored by Laurent Pinchart. The main goal of this project is to develop a media driver that can simulate a device with a user specified topology. I.e, the driver should have pre-defined sub-devices (scalers, bayer, debayer, RGB/YUV Capture, sensors, generating images inside the kernel as Vivid does) that can be linked together by user space in run-time and compose a video pipe-line. Thus, the user will be able to simulate many devices with different topologies. I'll be interacting with most of you to discuss a good API for a dynamic topology of a media device and I will probably post some kernel newbie questions on the way. The project goes from May 25 to August 25. Here is my blog: http://helenfornazier.blogspot.com.br/ I am going to post under Outreachy category at least once every two weeks: http://helenfornazier.blogspot.com.br/feeds/posts/default/-/Outreachy?alt=rss My nick on irc is koike (its my middle name). I do hope to learn a lot, do my best and have fun.
