== Team Highlights ==
11.05 release: libjpeg-turbo and smartt released. Smartt not a tarball yet but we may get some help to get this released via a launchpad project for this work. Need to get the individual patches from the team sent out, in order to get feedback. Sending to patches@linaro.org in order to get our patches counted to the Linaro metrics (this is important for libjpeg-turbo as there is no libjpeg-turbo wide community for now - we need to investigate about the upstreaming of jpeg-turbo). Patches are right now being added to git.linaro.org.
Getting ready for the mini-summit, team has been asked to look through the summit topics and give feedback.
Those who will not be able to attend in person, should try to get on the conference line, and check the recorded meeting to review what was discussed.
Suggestions for topics not covered in the agenda for the mini summit - obviously OMX vs not-OMX vs something else - gstreamer (0.11 or 1.0) in order to address some of the challenges that we and other vendors have seen. Parsers - Android work related to OMX work and the consolidation work that the group is targeting could also be another point for the mini-summit discussion - Kurt to discuss with Zach also on the Android pain points and what Android folks would need to have fixed. - Related to the Memory Management activities - 0-copy is the area of interest in Multimedia. We will review the list of work items in the mini-summit. As for the impact of the work to other components - eg EGL API for video related images/surfaces may affect userspace gstreamer APIs (or other multimedia framework) - to what extent remains to be seen
Validation tasks (Mandeep) - looking at some new techniques for analyzing code during optimization.
Worked on the gst-openmax with video raw format mapping
Putting together some documentation notes for the interface issues with OMX.
Uploaded the multimedia test content for 5 codecs (as indicated in meeting minutes from 31.05.2011) - is the list of video codecs sufficient or do we need more?
