VideoHackfest

The VideoHackfest is a meeting of developers from multiple projects to improve the Linux desktop video experience.
It came about after an idea got into a prototype and a cool demo.
A big thanks goes to the X Foundation for funding and Collabora Multimedia for providing the location.

Date

The hackfest will take place in Barcelona on the 4 days from Thursday, November 19th to Sunday, November 22nd, 2009. The days before should be used for travelling.
