Embedded Linux Conference Europe 2007 videos

Category: Embedded Systems

Free Electrons (http://free-electrons.com), has released free Ogg/Theora
videos from the first edition of the European Edition of CELF's Embedded
Linux Conference
(http://www.celinux.org/elc_europe07/elc_europe_index.html), which
happened in Linz, Austria last November, together with the 9th Real-Time
Linux Workshop
(http://www.realtimelinuxfoundation.org/events/rtlws-2007/...)
organized by the Real-Time Linux Foundation.

These videos show presentations about topics like boot time, real-time
preemption patches, graphical libraries and filesystems for flash
storage. You will see well known community contributors like Thomas
Gleixner (real-time kernel), Jörn Engel (LogFS), Wookey (Debian, Yaffs)
and a giant penguin!

As usual with materials released by Free Electrons, these videos are
released under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution -
ShareAlike 2.5 license, which means that anybody can redistribute or
modify them, even for commercial purposes.

Free Electrons also took the opportunity to contract Jan Gerber, the
main developer of ffmpeg2theora (http://v2v.cc/~j/ffmpeg2theora/), to
add noise reduction filters to his tool. This new feature makes it
significantly easier to produce high-quality Ogg/Theora videos in just
one step, without having to use additional filtering programs. It can
also be used to produce higher quality Ogg/Theora broadcasts, at a lower
bitrate, as encoding unfiltered noise wastes a lot of bytes.
