[w009] workshop facilitated by Jaromil

dyne:bolic - GNU/Linux LIVE BOOTABLE MEDIA STUDIO
http://dynebolic.org/

Dyne:bolic GNU/Linux is a live bootable distribution, an operating system which works directly from the CD without the need to install or change anything on the hard disk. It is user-friendly, recognizes your hardware devices (sound, video, firewire, and USB), and offers a vast range of software for multimedia production, streaming, 3D modeling, photo, peer-to-peer filesharing, Web browsing and publishing, word processing, email, encryption, and networking. It also includes games and a world navigator. It does automatic clustering, joining the CPU power between any other dyne:bolic on the local network, and works on modded XBOX consoles as well.

FreeJ :: REALTIME VIDEO PROCESSING
http://freej.dyne.org

FreeJ is a digital instrument for video livesets, featuring realtime rendering of multilayered video and chained effect filtering directly on the screen. FreeJ deals with every video source as a layer, making then possible to dynamically apply on each a chain of filters, loadable as effect plugins and easily customizable. Layers are implemented to mix together live inputs (video4linux devices), DIVX/AVI files (with avifile library), PNG images and TEXT files word by word. Other layers are being implemented.

FreeJ is being developed in the hope to provide the GNU community with a free, modular and highly customizable application to perform video livesets; a free and open framework that lets anybody implement his own filters concentrating simply on the dsp algorithm developed and furthermore to combine them over any supported layer.
