Hi all :D! It turns out that I'm sending this report always late on wednesday, please forgive me! As I said the previous week I was studying hard for the last exams of the semester so I wasn't able to do anything useful during the last couple of weeks. Now exams are over and I restarting to work at the usual pace. Not that I didn't do anything when I was studying, I started to be active on cheese bugzilla, at first just to take a break after a couple of hours of study. I solved a couple of bugs and I soon got addicted, as Cosimo said bugzilla it's like a drug :P! It's not actually related to my SoC work but Cheese needs that too, right? However, let's talk about SoC things: - after reading Andy Wingo's post about a clutter based window manager I had the idea that glx texture from pixmap can easily be used to create a ClutterActor from a glimagesink output. I did some experiment and I already have a ClutterStage with several instances of "my face" with different effects applied. The code is still rough and experimental but it seems a promising path to follow. I'm not sure if this will work on non nvidia hardware, I'll try to find an answer soon. - as I said in the previous report gst-plugins-gl is going through some big change. Another developer, Julien Isorce, was working since some time on a separate branch. It started with the aim to port gst-plugins-gl to win32 but ended with some big architectural change. Most of his work could bring a lot of improvements (better performance, glsl colorspace conversion, ecc) to gst-plugins-gl, so David Schleef decided to merge it. Now my previous code doesn't work anymore, so my (our) current goal is to make my code work again with the new branch. I already talked with Daniel to rearrange my schedule, so I will concentrate exclusively on this merge in the next weeks. The downside of this merge is that gst-plugins-gl needs a couple of months of work before a stable version can be released so we'll have to wait at least until 2.26 to see my effects on Cheese. That's all for now, if you have any question just ask! Cheers, Filippo -- Filippo Argiolas Jabber: filippo argiolas jabber no Web: http://fargiolas.netsons.org Irc: fargiolas (GimpNET, Freenode)
