Hi
I am Ricardo, a newbie DD, and a kernel camera developer. Last year I
made a presentation about complex cameras in the Cambridge MiniDebconf
[1]:
There is a big number of cameras that are not supported by Debian and
that number grows everyday [2][3]. In phones it is almost impossible to
find a phone with a working camera upstream.
The current camera situation mirrors the graphics card from a decade
ago: vendors and upstream efforts are disconnected, leaving distros
and users struggling.
I am co-organizing a conference during Linux Plumbers to address this
issue [4]: �The plan is that vendors, distros, media maintainers and
DRM maintainers sit on the same table and collaborate.
I strongly believe Debian's participation in this conference is
crucial. We need to make sure that whatever solution is implemented by
the vendors can also be used by our users.
I was wondering how many people are interested in this topic (I guess
the kernel team?), and what is needed for someone in the project to
talk on behalf of the project.
I can share my point of view as DD and what I understand are the
licensing requirements for a package to exist in our distro... but
there is probably a better person to represent Debian than me. Plus I
am already representing another distro, ChromeOS (my employer).
Best regards!
