Re: [ANN] Media Summit on May 26th in Nice, France

[Hans Verkuil <hverkuil+cisco@kernel.org>]

Hi all,

A gentle reminder to let me know by email if you will join this year's Media Summit.
I only received 7 confirmations until now, so there is room for quite a few more.

Also, please reply to this email if you have topics that you would like 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.

And here is my topic:

Title: Discussion of the media subsystem development process

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?

Guesstimate: 1 hour

Regards,

	Hans
