[gst-devel] GStreamer as Google Summer of Code project

[Michael Krog]

Hi.

I have an idea:
How about a video input for slideshows using an open
slideshow/presentation engine which can show the common formats.

This would be suitable for fx. keynote-applications which offer
recording of a keynote and projecting of cameras, slideshows etc.

Best Regards
Michael Krog
