Minutes 

1. Opening and confirmation of the presence of quorum

    Chairman Tommi Teistelä opened the meeting at 09:02. Presence of quorum was confirmed.

2. Approval of agenda

    Ville asked if the GPL matter is a part of the agenda and it was agreed to be part of item 7.
    Agenda was approved.

3. Approval of the minutes of the previous meeting

    Tommi read through the main points of the minutes of the last meeting. For the teams progress, he stated that research is mostly done, project plan is well in progress, term list will be updated during project and that GPL template is done and will be reviewed in this meeting in item 7. Tommi also explained that there was problems compiling the old code and it might take a while to get it working.

4. Progress since previous meeting

    Tommi said that he has spend most of his time on compiling the code. Richard and Teemu have been reading the specs Matthieu delivered to the project team. Tuomas has used most of his time with the project plan.

5. Viewing project plan and schedule

    It was discussed what to do in the iteration 1. Ville asked if there should be some time reserved for research and Tommi agreed. It was agreed that seek function might take too long to be implemented in iteration 1, so the team will concentrate on functions that write EDL files and detect black frames. Ville stated that this should be the teams output.

    Tuomas said that he has written most chapters for the project plan and that he is waiting chapters from Tommi and Teemu to be added to the plan. It was agreed that project plan will be show to Ville within week 40. Then the version 0.3 of project plan was reviewed. Ville noticed that chapter 4.3 (software) is unnecessary in this project and that document listing should be in chapter for goals. Tommi said that he has already written document listing in goals chapter since he has been writing that chapter for project plan.

6. Deciding tasks for iteration 1

    Matthieu agreed that the functionality of black frame detection is a good starting point for coding prototypes, since it is an independent ensemble. Matthieu estimated that search might be the most difficult part because the time stamp might reset during stream. He also said that there are two options related to this matter: To presume that the time stamp resets only after 26 hours or presume that it might reset at any time within 26 hours. Matthieu's tip for the team was that video filtering functions much faster if the outputs are disabled. Then Tommi agreed that the team should indeed get black frame detection working first and that he could check seeking if schedule allows it.

    Ville said that the team should use some kind of backlog for tasks. Track/roadmap was suggested to be one way to do this. Tommi suggested that track and it was agreed. Ville also said that there should probably be something mentioned in the project plan's background chapter.

    * The team will:
          o write a task list / backlog to the trac.
          o try to write code for EDL for the existing black frame filter.
          o try to port Matthieu's black frame filter to the MPlayer code. 

7. Miscellaneous topics

    GPL draft was handed to Matthieu and Ville and was accepted with some grammatical modifications and word substitution. Richard asked about multilingual broadcasts but Matthieu pointed out that in recored media there is only one stream.

8. Decision of the time and place for the next meeting

    * Decisions:
          o An unofficial meeting will be held on Wednesday 8.9. at 9:00 AM at project meeting space
          o Next official meeting will be held on Wednesday 15.9. at 9:00 AM at project meeting space 

9. Closing
