I'd like to give an update about the stateless video encoding uAPI, which is
still in preparation (but may have a first version on the list before the media
summit).

Title: V4L2 Stateless Video Encoding uAPI Progress Update

Description: An update on the ongonig work to support stateless codecs in V4L2.
Some of the remaining open topics will be presented and discussed.

Guesstimate: 1 hour

All the best,

Paul
