[FFmpeg-devel] FFmpeg at IBC

[Thilo Borgmann via ffmpeg-devel]

Hi,

FFmpeg will have a booth at the next IBC from September 13th to 16th 
2024 in Amsterdam [1]!

We received a corporate sponsorship for the booth, so there are no costs 
for the FFmpeg project to it (and no obligations, of course).

FFmpeg developers are welcome to join in and help man the booth with me!

Share with us your broken workflows, unfulfilled requirements, ideas for 
enhancements and after show drinks at W8.A23g!

-Thilo

I think that we need to keep in mind who typically attends IBC.

1) The majority are not sufficiently technically versed to know what problem 
their employer has with FFmpeg. The message makes it sound like FFmpeg is 
broken and not fullfilling requirements, and just sucks. Regardless of whether 
we want to talk to those people or not, the message should really be more 
positive.

2) Many there do not understand how open-source operates. It sounds like you 
are offering to solve their problems for free.

IBC attendees are much more likely to be looking for consultants to hire than 
wanting to report bugs.

Quoting Micheal here, but "where did you discuss the creation of this Booth
with the FFmpeg community?"

Given that its not September the 13th yet, and this thread is a discussion,
iam not sure the quote is fitting.

thx

There will always be a question for which you do not know the correct answer.

Well, you may be right but for the wrong reasons here.

8 weeks may seem like a lot, but accomodation prices in Amsterdam are already 
through the proverbial roof, and it will only get worse, so it is not too 
early to send the confirmation to the mailing list. Though presumably the 
confirmation of the booth only just came up.

More to the point: While it was not so much a discussion as a statement, Thilo 
did notify the mailing list earlier that he was getting an FFmpeg booth a few 
weeks ago. 

Having said that, consultants and commercial support vendors could want to 
pitch their FFmpeg support services there, much like (for example) Collabora 
or VideoLabs. I am concerned however that there will not be much benefit from 
the presence of an open-source project or not-for-profit foundation.

I'd like to tackle problems before it's too late :)
