Ever wondered why your newly installed Fedora won't let you play videos recorded with an iPhone? Annoyed with high CPU usage when playing certain videos? Join me on a journey through the history of multimedia software in Fedora and hear why some code is not (yet) allowed to be included in the official repositories. As the founder of the Multimedia SIG, I will talk about what we are doing to bring the most complete multimedia experience possible to Fedora users out of the box, the challenges we have been facing along the way and how you can help us.
Dominik is a long-time open source contributor with over 25 years of experience. He's been a Fedora user and contributor for almost just as long. As Fedora ambassador and packager sponsor, among his many roles, he tries to bring in new contributors and improve the multimedia experience in Fedora, which would be impossible without the help of many other Fedora contributors and upstream developers.
