STF 2025 grant request (2025-09-01 target)
Hi all, As with last year, Michael asked me to help coordinate the creation of grant request to the STF: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/SponsoringPrograms/STF/2025 The objective remains to unlock funds for individuals that are interested in contributing to the FFMPEG codebase. The proposed deadline for individuals to submit their proposal is 2025-09-01. The proposals will be published at the link above upon submission. I am happy to collate the proposals and forward the grant request to SPI, who would handle the submission to STF and payments to contributors as the case may be. I am also happy to do nothing. This activity is completely voluntary, there is no guarantee that all (or any) proposals will be accepted by SPI and/or STF, and the chances of success are unknown (to me). The activity was reasonably successful last year. Best, -- Pierre

Could you bump the deadline up and submit them in a week or two? Its been many months since Michael urged those wanting to apply to do so. Waiting for a month probably won't result in much, and I'd like to start working already.
Quick reminder that the deadline for submitting your proposal is quickly approaching. Also note that the total amount of the proposed projects is below for the minimum threshold for STF to consider the application. On Tue, Jul 29, 2025 at 2:20 PM Pierre-Anthony Lemieux <pal@sandflow.com> wrote:

Despite my initial reservations, I decided to also apply with another continuation of the libswscale project. Just letting you know as a heads up that I will add my proposal to the wiki shortly. How much more is currently needed to meet the minimum threshold?

I think the main uncertainilities are 1. If teh community preferrs merges or cherry picks, If they want cherry picks its 100 patch(sets) passing review, adding tests where samples are on our server. If we do it as a merge, the work is still there but its different likely less work. Code would be merged in one go, then people could still review the individual modules afterwards, and I still would have the same effort to do to add tests and handle reviews. But maybe fewer people will post reviews with a merge than with cherry picks 2. when the work starts, because i intend to submit some patchset to test the whole process as soon as i am not busy with other work in ffmpeg So we might end up with fewer than 100 if we do some before STF starts 3. In all this I assume that the review process is fairly smooth and requests for major changes would be very rare because that would not work with the number of modules. And i assume that either we have testsamples or we dont and so the work adding tests is manageable. But the devil is in the details and tests can lead to detected bugs if the results are different between archs and so on. And then I would have to debug and fix that unknown number of bugs So really if everything is smooth i expect all 100 but if issues arise it can be less. I will know how badly i miscalcuated this only afterwards ;) thx [...] -- Michael GnuPG fingerprint: 9FF2128B147EF6730BADF133611EC787040B0FAB No great genius has ever existed without some touch of madness. -- Aristotle

Cherry picking Paul's fork is clearly a destructive and hostile act and is not good use of STF funds. STF funds are not there to fund your vendetta against Paul and other forks. Kieran

Cherry picking Paul's fork is clearly a destructive and hostile act and is not good use of STF funds.
I recommend that the proposed SOWs be more specific, i.e. list those forks. [ed.: I would definitely avoid forks from folks that have not shown interest in working with ffmpeg, or at least list those forks as super low priority.]

The fork will probably be mainly almpeg, iam maintaining it, i want to work with ffmpeg and i want to merge the code from it back into ffmpeg.

You have mobbed one developer after the other out of the project. when the vote against carl didnt succeed you shut down a project server The main person who was against SDR was you. Everyone i remember pointed to you about SDR objections. Then thilo was attacked by derek claiming he stole money. And you simply posted thilos street address in public. You took donations that belong to FFmpeg. (this is physical hardware) Hw donations should be owned by SPI. And of course you objected to SPI too IIRC You helped setup a booth at NAB where a corporate entity impersionated FFmpeg. This is documented with pictures, including the FFmpeg name and logo. end of 2024/2025 there was a slandering compaign against me and as this escalated anton left. Anton was a really important developer. And had you and your friends just stoped, there would have been no escalation and anton would be still here In many threads about decissions you post false, misleading or inflamatory statements and we could continue and continue this thread and also look up all the references ... Please stop, simply stop. Not only, is what you do, not going to work (obviously) because frankly i dont care anymore, say what you want about me. But its very harmfull to FFmpeg and the team. No matter if its your statements directly or the reactions they provocate, these statements are a main cause of people leaving. thx [...] -- Michael GnuPG fingerprint: 9FF2128B147EF6730BADF133611EC787040B0FAB The real ebay dictionary, page 1 "Used only once" - "Some unspecified defect prevented a second use" "In good condition" - "Can be repaird by experienced expert" "As is" - "You wouldnt want it even if you were payed for it, if you knew ..."

[snip of verbal diarrhoea] It's incredible the stories you create inside your head instead of acknowledging that you, yourself were in the wrong. Both Anton and Paul directly blamed you in writing yet by your Olympic level of mental gymnastics this is somehow my fault? Take some responsibility. PS: the equipment I host bought by SPI is clearly marked as property of FFmpeg project. Many developers have visited my office and seen it in person.

Kieran quoted an unidentified address from public pages of the tradeshow's website, and asked whose it is. If Thilo has a problem with the privacy policy of the tradeshow, that's not something to blame Kieran for. Ultimately, it was not Kieran who outed Thilo as the addressee. (IIRC, it was none other than Thilo himself.)

That is not how slander works. Slander is when you are accused of something that you did *not* do. You *did* post the picture and messages that people (including myself) blamed you for posting, you *did* block Vittorio without any CC or GA oversight, and you *did* propose a bunch of new project structures that gave you even more power than you already have.
and as this escalated anton left.
You are conveniently omitting the point that it was *your* part in that escalation that caused Anton to quit and James to step down from his formal roles. They literally said so.
Please stop, simply stop.

This is not correct. What I wrote is not even remotely the definiton of stealing. You are accusing me of something I did not say, and that is not acceptable. Please leave me out of your future paranoid delusions, if possible. CC is CCed, though they won't do anything. - Derek
