[CC-ing libav-devel as this may be of interest to them.] I had a chat with Ronald with regards to the the gsoc joint application, and we concluded that a shared mailing list/channel doesn't seem very feasible, mostly because of the flames and frictions that this could very likely generate, which won't be any good to the students. So I propose to have two separate applications, some way of indirect collaboration can still be achieved if there is reciprocal interest towards it, in case only FFmpeg will be accepted I propose to allocate a fair share of the slots to Libav developers. Of course we can still propose a joint application in case we manage to find an agreement on its conditions, but this doesn't seem very likely at the moment. _______________________________________________ libav-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.libav.org/mailman/listinfo/libav-devel
