Video Playback Hackfest in November

Want better video playback on Linux? Can you code? There will be a hackfest this November in Barcelona from November 19-22, 2009. If you can go and join the hackfest because this is something you are personally hacking on, then I think it’s just right that you contact those who are organizing it. Check out this email for more details on how to participate in this particular hackfest. This is all about making X, Cairo and GStreamer work better to give everyone a better user experience when it comes to videos on Linux. Here’s the wikipage about this video on Linux hackfest in Barcelona. Still not sure if you’d be joining? Check out the agenda! This is organized by Collabora and there will be various developers who are part of projects like Cairo, X and Gstreamer. It should be an interesting time for all of them and the open source community.

I hope that this team success for the upcoming hackfest! I also hope to hear/read about it from you.

Speaking of events, Asia Source 3 is coming up soon! It will be held from November 7-12 in Silang, Cavite — that’s in the Philippines! You got that right.

There will be several tracks that participants will be able to attend:

• Managing your information.
• Migrating to FOSS.
• Broadcasting your information.
• Joining the FOSS Community/Using FOSS tools.

It would be great to hear and read all about the participants’ reactions after the camp. I hope that a lot of the participants will be encouraged to join the FOSS community and spread the love~! Not just for Linux but for the free and open source software movement at large.

What other events are coming up soon? Care to share them here? It will be more interesting to hear about them. It will be good to experience those events too if it were possible. ; ) Just let us know and maybe some of us can be there too. : D
