Hi Manya We are certainly happy about all FFmpeg work, education or community being sponsored.
About speaker sessions, i leave this to others to reply, but i certainly would be happy to see FFmpeg developers speaking on FOSS hack 2026. One questions people may have is, is it possible to remotely participate in speaker sessions ? (both speakers and listeners) About Mentorship, how should we envission this ? is this like GSoC ? Also i think FOSS Hack 2026, could be an interresting opertunity for us to attract new talent. thx On Sat, Jan 24, 2026 at 10:22:45PM +0000, manya via ffmpeg-devel wrote: > Dear FFmpeg Team, > > I hope this message finds you well. > > I am writing on behalf of The FOSS Club at Delhi Technical Campus, a > student-led community dedicated to promoting Free and Open Source Software > (FOSS).
