Hi all

Before this is forgotten again, better start some dicsussion too early than=
 too late

I propose that if we have the oppertunity again next year to receive a grant
=66rom STF. That we use it to fund:

* Paul to work on FFmpeg full time. My idea here is that he can work on wha=
tever
  he likes in FFmpeg (so its not full time employment for specific work but
  simply full time employment for him to work on whatever he likes in FFmpe=
g any
  way he likes) Paul is the 2nd largest contributor to FFmpeg (git shortlog=
 -s -n)

* Fund administrative / maintainance work (one example is the mailman upgra=
de that is needed
  with the next OS upgrade on one of our servers (this is not as trivial as=
 one might
  expect). Another example here may be some git related tools if we find so=
mething that
  theres a broad consensus about.

* Fund maintaince on the bug tracker, try to reproduce bugs, ask users to p=
rovide
  reproduceable cases, close bugs still unreproduceable, ...
  ATM we have over 2000 "new" bugs that are not even marked as open

* Fund professional real live presence on multimedia / FOSS / buisness rela=
ted
  events. we already refund individuals but i think we are lacking on the o=
rganizational
  side. We should also have on these events at least one person who can awn=
ser developer/user
  questions and someone who can awnser buisness questions (on buisness rela=
ted events).
  Also we need some eye catching things there, a big screen/projector that =
plays some
  real time filtered version from a camera. Or maybe have more people remot=
ely be available
  from the FFmpeg team through real time streaming (as in, if someone wants=
 to be on some event
  but cant physically go there, we could put a notebook on the table facing=
 visitors showing
  something like a video chat. Also we need more cute girls on these events=
, everything i hear
  its 100% male geeks/hackers. Also a "24/7" realtime stream from any booth=
 would be nice

Thanks
