For the sake of clarity, on what basis are, or were, you negotiating a booth in the name of FFmpeg whilst keeping the community in the dark? Did SPI or Fabrice delegate this to you or something like that? How did we ensure that we don't end up with multiple people independently organising FFmpeg booths going forward if there is no coordination? IBC is probably not as (cost-)problematic as NAB, w.r.t. setting up the booth or transportation, assuming people come from Europe, and the booth itself is paid for. It makes sense for FFmpeg consultancies to market their services there. However accommodation costs are still huge, and having attended IBC a few times, I just don't really see much for FFmpeg as an open-source community to do there. Indeed, it was not appropriate for GPAC to use an FFmpeg booth at IBC, and it likewise wouldn't be appropriate for them or for any for-profit company or consultant to use an FFmpeg booth at IBC. This is not even just a moral and PR problem, but also potentially fiscal and legal, but IANAL. _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
