Dear ⁠⁠FFmpeg Team,

I hope this message finds you well.

I am writing on behalf of The FOSS Club at Delhi Technical Campus, a student-led community dedicated to promoting Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). We would like to explore a potential collaboration and sponsorship opportunity with ⁠⁠FFmpeg for our upcoming flagship event, FOSS Hack 2026.

FOSS Hack 2026 is the sixth edition of FOSS Hack and is planned as a hybrid, month-long hackathon scheduled from 1st March to 31st March 2026. The event brings together students and early-career professionals to build new projects or contribute to existing open-source initiatives across multiple domains such as Open Hardware, GNU/Linux, Cybersecurity, and related technologies.

In our previous edition, FOSS Hack 2025, we were privileged to receive Gold Sponsorship support from The Linux Foundation. Their association significantly strengthened the scale, credibility, and impact of the event, and reinforced our commitment to fostering meaningful open-source contributions.

As an organization that values innovation and open collaboration, we believe ⁠FFmpeg’s work and philosophy strongly align with the vision of FOSS Hack. Your association would help inspire young developers while strengthening engagement with open-source ecosystems at the grassroots level.

We would be honored to explore opportunities such as:

- 
Community or educational sponsorship

- 
Mentorship or speaker sessions

- 
Open-source advocacy and ecosystem outreach

- 
Branding and visibility as a technology and open-source partner


Please find our event brochure attached, which outlines the event vision, structure, audience profile, and potential collaboration avenues.
