VideoLAN: What I have been doing lately?

Hello to everyone,

This blog has been silent for a couple of weeks. I am so sorry. Let me explain you why.

Google Summer of Code

I had to finish all the stuff about the new students, a lot of discussion, reviews and choices for GSoC. All the team trusted me on the choice, so, that was difficult. But I am very happy with everything we have come up with.

Thanks Google!

Holidays and elections

  • Two weeks ago, it was easter's week end,
  • Last week, I was in Bretagne to help for one of my friends' wedding,
  • Yesterday, I was in Paris, for the French presidential elections.

Therefore, I wasn't home enough to work and document for VLC.

0.8.6b release

As some have noticed we had a small release on VLC branch. This is going to be the latest on this branch, I think. But I had to do win32 binaries and source tarballs... We still have issues with Vista, but well, until drivers are correctly written, we cannot do what we want...

0.9.0 - Qt4

I was chasing bugfix and not really adding new features. This will change in the next few days.

VideoLAN and Google Summer of Code 2007

Google summer of code

This year, Google proposes one more time the summer of code program, and I thought that VideoLAN should participate on it.

Preparing it

So, this year, I wrote the wiki ideas page, bother the other devs (sorry guys :D) to get, select the best ideas (with the team) and discuss with everyone. We found mentors and backup mentors and build a few very interesting projects.

Then, last week, a night, when I was in Paris for the Journées FedeRez , I applied and answered to the questions on the application form.

And I waited.

We are in!

This morning, I received a Google mail, and we appeared on Google Summer of Code. So let's Rock!

Ideas can be found on our wiki. If you are eligible, apply!
