So I have been working in 3 different large tech multinationals in the past two decades, and recently I have been in the technical role on the purchasing end. And I can only agree with Kieran. What I have seen so far is exactly that: > > It'll end up being a few lines on the mailing list. > Just your pessimistic assumption. You can call it pessimistic. But it is not realistic to expect people here to even bother to write or review a proper statement of work. This is really tedious and boring. And that's not even going into the obvious risk of bikesheding or flamewar if people do actually decide to participate in the drafting or reviewing. Now if SPI had 1M$ in the bank for FFmpeg, then I admit that it could make sense to just bite the bullet and go through that tedious process. But it does not, it does not look like it will have any time soon. Frankly, if you and Michael want to pitch that approach, I would advise against it, but you have every rights to do so anyway (and I hope nobody here actively undermines you). However, also hope that the GA would reject spending what little SPI money has for the wishful thinking that it would kickstart sustainable financing for FFmpeg development. -- Rémi Denis-Courmont http://www.remlab.net/ _______________________________________________ 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".
