so I talked to the GPAC folks and Devin as well. The missing part of the information exchanged was apparently that there‘s nobody from FFmpeg here _at the moment_. Devin did circle around a bit for a while, never saw FFpeople in that time. Thing is that in the afternoons, Ramiro and me were out for lunch off-site, for around 90 minutes - plenty of time never to be seen by Devin. Additionally, not having followed the November announcement and subsequent posts too closely, lead to even more suspicion. So, Devin, as I told you earlier, thank you very much for your mail - in case that would have actually been some sort of misuse of our name, we’d totally want to become aware of.
