Announcing x264 Summer of Code 2010!
With the announcement of Google Summer of Code 2010 and the acceptance of our umbrella organization, Videolan, we are proud to announce the third x264 Summer of Code! After two years of progressively increasing success, we expect this year to be better than ever. Last year’s successes include ARM support and weighted P-frame prediction. This year we have a wide variety of projects of varying difficulty, including some old ones and a host of new tasks. The qualification tasks are tough, so if you want to get involved, the sooner the better!
Interested in getting started? Check out the wiki page, hop on #x264 on Freenode IRC, and say hi to the gang! No prior experience or knowledge in video compression necessary: just dedication and the willingness to ask questions and experiment until you figure things out.
