I’m back from this year’s GStreamer hackfest, which was fantastic as usual — an intersection of great minds, big challenges, flaky Wi-Fi and good food. Christian already did a generic summary, so I’ll be narrating from the GNonLin/GES/PiTiVi perspective. See the end of this blog post for a nice video retrospective.

PiTiVi status update for Q1 2013
Time for a little report on recent improvements in Pitivi. Nothing earth-shattering to make you drool with envy; just a lot of fixes, cleanup and improvements to small details. Next week, we will be in Milan for the GStreamer hackfest, so I’ll make sure to give you a nice report on what we managed to accomplish there.
Join us at the GStreamer Hackfest in Milan
Interested in GStreamer, PiTiVi, GES? Meet us in Milan at the end of March for the 2013 GStreamer hackfest! As you can see in this picture from last year’s hackfest, it’s tons of fun for everybody:
The new GStreamer SDK is out, with Android support
Time flies! It’s been only a few months since the first release, and yet my pals at Collabora and Fluendo have just announced the availability of another major release of the GStreamer Software Development Kit.
PulseAudio 2.0 + Empathy = awesome
I’ve been meaning to blog about this for months. You may remember me being a fan of SFLphone. Well, turns out that for the past year, I’ve been using only Empathy to do my VoIP calls. All you need to do is install telepathy-rakia to have SIP support (and then you can use Ctrl+M to start dialing a number). Even though Empathy is not perfect, I like it: it’s a standard component of the GNOME desktop, it uses GStreamer and PulseAudio, and it keeps getting better every six months.
Why you should be using GES
Thanks to our friends from Ubicast, there is a nice recording of the talk I gave with Thibault in San Diego. Unlike what the title says, this is actually not a case study :) it is aimed at those of you who are wondering what GES is all about, why it matters, how it works, and why everybody should be using it to Get Things Done. If you’re interested in audio and video editing with GStreamer, you should definitely check it out.
