Thats funny, I met him during GSoC too over a decade ago, and he's been on top of the open source game.

I've heard he was working on an extremely low latency gaming system: Kyber
Anyone has any recent news on that subject?

#8I’m old enough to remember crappiness before VLC. Such a useful piece of software. Well deserved. What a dude.

#9So many hours of fun watching videos over the years, without the constant fear that some odd codec would make the experience impossible. Thanks, VLC!

#10The award is well deserved, VLC was a godsend a few years ago but I’m not sure what VLC brings to the table nowadays. All other players play videos just fine on Linux now. I guess VLC is only a thing on Windows because the default software is crap. On Linux almost everyone now use whatever is the default player or MPV for the nerds.
