Description David E. Narváez 2013-03-16 16:19:59 UTC

I have not contributed any patches to GStreamer yet, but I am working on moving the QtGStreamer project forward. My development plans at the moment are:

- Split QtGLib and QtGStreamer[0]
- Add GStreamer 1.0 support for QtGStreamer
- Add Qt5 support for QtGStreamer
- Add GStreamer 1.0 support using GObject Introspection[1]

As you will see in [0], this is mostly done (up to some administrative issues) and I am interested in a user account where to put my scratch repositories. Eventually, as QtGStreamer starts speeding up, I'd also like to be able to commit directly to the qt-gstreamer repository.

I also have a Gitorious account, so I could upload my scratch repositories there if you find that more adequate.

For reference, I also have a commit account in the KDE Project and a Qt account to post code-reviewed code collaborations.

Hi David,

great to see you work on GStreamer 1.0 support for QtGStreamer.

However, we tend to only give people commit access after they've been contributing for a longer period of time and once we find their patches are deemed to be of suitable standard.

I'm happy to shorten the waiting time if George is happy to let you go wild in gstreamer-qt, but he'd definitely need to sign off on it first.


I would suggest you work in gitorious/github or some personal repo on kde servers for starters, and then see how it goes.

Please re-open once George is happy with you becoming a gstreamer-qt co-maintainer.
