Thanks to Levi Bard we now have ruby-lightmediascanner, with even API docs!
On the bug fixes front, after Canola2 was released and it was tested with multitude of media I could fix lots of bugs with parsers, mainly on jpeg and id3lib.
Last but not least, thanks to Renato Chencarek we now have ogg support, and I also added png and audio-dummy to register known media files we still have no specific parsers (real, wma, ...)
It's already stable, when I have time I'll add a non-dual process version of process and check, so people with "correct" media files can use this and benefit from a much faster version (however this will rely on developers adding support to choose both implementations).
And so the time has come, almost 1 year since the first Bossa Conference 2007. That was an amazing conference, with exuberant place near the beach, great speakers and lots of time to enjoy both. Since the scope is well defined: Linux and other Free Software in mobile devices, the speakers are really well selected, we could manage to have free time to talk to each other, without going from one side to another, running like crazy and if you have attended conferences before you know what I mean: these casual chats are the best way to know about new features and plans (maybe unofficial or secret ;-)), elaborate new ideas, etc.
That conference was so great that INdT is now promoting another, actually much improved:
Come and enjoy a innovative conference on Open Source Software for Mobile Embedded Platforms. Located in Porto de Galinhas, one of the tropical paradises of Brazil, the Bossa Conference will happen during 16th to 19th of March at Summerville Beach Resort. The perfect combination of developers, pleasant environment and good ideas.
Let's go! We're waiting for you.
