The videos were encoded using royalty-free Ogg-Theora Codecs. According to Free Electron's Michael Opdenacker, this year Jan Gerber, the developer of ffmpeg2theora, added denoising support to the tool, improving quality and frame rate, and enabling anyone to directly denoise DV camcorder input and generate Ogg-Theora video in a single step.

Last month, CELF published a call for papers for the next conference, to be held April 15-17 at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California. The deadline for presentation submissions is February 5th.

In November, LinuxDevices.com published the full text of 28 papers given at the 9th Real-Time Linux Workshop.
