(Please pass this on to anyone you think might be interested in this!)

Hi all,

This is the fourth version of this announcement, updating the list of attendees
and the tentative agenda at the end: please let me know if you see mistakes.
Note that there is still time for one or two other topics. Also please check
the agenda if you need more (or perhaps less) time for your topic.

This year's Media Summit will be held on Tuesday May 26th the day before the
Embedded Recipes Conference in Nice, France:

https://embedded-recipes.org/2026/

The Media Summit will be held at Hotel Campanile and in the same meeting room
as last year (Nikaia):

https://nice-aeroport.campanile.com/en-us/

It is close to the Airport and to the Embedded Recipes venue.

The meeting room can hold up to 30 people and I will provide video conferencing support,
just like last year. The location and the meeting room was quite nice last year, so
I saw no need to change it.

That said, in-person participation is very much preferred. This yearly summit is meant
for active media developers to meet face-to-face and to discuss media subsystem issues.

And it is also a good opportunity to talk to each other during the Embedded Recipes
conference to discuss topics in a smaller group. But if you are an active media developer
and are really not able to attend in person, then remote participation is an option.

If you want to attend the meeting (either in person or remote), then send an email to me
directly. The deadline for in-person attendance is May 14 as the hotel needs to know the
final number of attendees by then.

There is no registration fee, the meeting room is sponsored by Cisco and Collabora, and
the lunch is sponsored by Ideas on Board! Many thanks to our sponsors, it's very much
appreciated.

If you have a topic that you want to discuss, just 'Reply All' to this announcement
and give the topic title, a short description and a guesstimate of the time you need
for your topic.

See last year's Media Summit Report as an example of what to expect:

Agenda (tentative):

8:45-9:20: Arrive, settle in

9:20-9:30: Short intro (Hans Verkuil)

9:30-9:45: Status of ISP support in V4L2
Presenter: Laurent Pinchart
Description: Summary of ISP-related development in V4L2 since the last
Linux Media Summit. This includes a brief overview of technical
developments, and a summary of the efforts to engage with vendors.

9:45-10:45: V4L2 Stateless Video Encoding uAPI Progress Update
Presenter: Paul Kocialkowski
Description: An update on the ongonig work to support stateless codecs in V4L2.
Some of the remaining open topics will be presented and discussed.

10:45-11:00: break

11:00-11:30: Vulkan Video Codecs
Presenter: Nicolas Dufresne
Description: Vulkan video codecs: what are the viable options for Linux Media
and what is in preparation outside of our subsystem. The second aspect is
informative as these discussions don't seem to lean toward our subsystem as the
foundation. But I think it's rather useful for everyone to understand why and
what is included.

11:30-12:00: Protected Video playback on i.MX8MQ
Presenter: Rouven Czerwinski
Description: Introduction to protected video playback
on i.MX8MQ and missing bits for linux-media & protected heap interoperability.

12:00-13:30: Lunch

13:30-14:00: HDCP support for HDMI receivers
Presenter: Hans Verkuil
Description: I have been working on adding HDCP support for HDMI receivers.
Specifically the HDCP negotiation between sources and sinks.

14:00-14:30: AI patches
Presenter: Sakari Ailus
Description: What is our policy w.r.t. AI generated patches?

14:30-15:00 Overview of Media CI: where do pipelines run?
Presenter: Ricardo Ribalda
Description: How are jobs in pipelines assigned? How does the infrastructure
for Media CI work? Are there things that can be tweaked to make it more
reliable?

15:00-15:15: Break

15:15-16:15: Discussion of the media subsystem development process
Presenter: Hans Verkuil
Description: Review of the multi-committer model: current status and next steps.
Are there any bottlenecks, any ideas for improvements, w.r.t. the development process?

As you can see, there is still some available time for other topics.
