Description

Luis De Bethencourt, Collabora

Luis de Bethencourt is a freedom-lover technocrat, and has always enjoyed programming and playing around with video, so since he discovered GStreamer years ago he's been hooked. Originally from the Canary Islands, computers felt like a door to the world, and saw in Linux the best way to open it, see how it all works, and become a part of it. He currently works for Collabora and enjoys contributing to projects like Gstreamer Editing Services, Rygel, PiTiVi, freemix or snappy. When he isn't in front of the screen, you can probably find him behind it. Beware of cake!

Talk Abstract

when you started learning GStreamer, did you feel the temptation of how easy it would be to write a player with it? well, I fell into that temptation and started snappy. this talk will be about the experience of writing a GStreamer (plus clutter) video player; problems faced, how the project evolved, API comfortability, all the movie watching in the name of testing, and how I got in one little fight and my mom got scared, she said your moving in with your auntie and uncle in bel-air.
