I've seen the Code Sprint ideas of the Point Cloud Library project lately, see
http://www.pointclouds.org

Maybe we can also consider this procedure to get some projects funded and
realized with a more direct connection to companies interested in the
development of FFmpeg. We should really get rid of the dependency on GSoC only
for that purpose since these vague reasonings from Google won't vanish, I think.
