Time flies, and we're already at the third and final day of DevCon 2024. We'll be losing people today as they head home, which will shorten events; additionally, most of the day is scheduled for the inevitable people-sitting-together-and-hacking-code later today, which will also eat into time, so…

Good morning, dear reader (okay, "readers" - I'll be generous, and assume there's more than one of you!). It's a beautiful day, the skies are an endless sea of blue, the forecast is a congenial 20℃ spring day - and we're back in a sealed room, and ready to get going with Day Two of this year's…

The lights are dimmed, the projector is running, the microphones are tested, the coffee is on... yes, it's time for Kodi's DevCon once again! We're coming to you from beautiful Budapest, the grand capital of Hungary - which last hosted us eight years ago, and it's genuinely great to be back. With…

Welcome, everyone, to Kodi Devcon 2023, coming to you this year from halfway up an Italian mountain overlooking Lake Iseo. We're full of coffee, it's seven degrees outside, we don't have enough power outlets, and we're struggling to stream over dubious Internet connectivity (courtesy of Mr Musk…

Hello - okay - new teeth, that’s weird. So, where was I? Oh, that’s right... Barcelona! Well, we did it. After a couple of years of pandemic-induced isolation, we managed to get most of the team together in early April for the first time in forever. We successfully brought people in from as far…

So, here we are, the third and final day of DevCon 2019. It's likely to be a short list of topics this morning before some people head home while those who remain use the time together to write some fabulous code. So, let's get straight to business. We kicked off with kwiboo and jernej (from the…

Morning, all. It's a beautiful day here, and we're just waiting for the last few latecomers to arrive before another day of DevCon... We kicked off with Python 3, following on from yesterday's conversation. The general consensus was to get this merged and live with any minor breakage - we need to…

Another year passes, and here we are once again, locked in a windowless room to discuss all things Kodi-shaped. Genuine thanks to the generosity of our sponsors and users - that means you, you lovely people - whose donations make these meetings possible. Old faces, new faces, guests - these events…

One more day, with enough content to warrant a separate blog post - partly because people are still here for the most part, partly because of new stuff that's been added to the agenda as we've gone along, and partly because of the topics that, despite our best efforts, managed to escape from…

Good morning/afternoon/evening/night (delete as appropriate - we're a global community). The world has turned once more, the sun has crawled into the sky, and we're back in the room. Nate began the day with an update on the Foundation's financial status: income, expenditure, bank balance…

\ What, a year already? Yup, twelve months have passed, we're all a year older, the world is still mad, and we're once again sitting in an overly-warm, windowless, anonymous conference room, discussing everyone's favourite media software while wondering where the coffee is. Welcome to DevCon 201…

The final day of Devcon - still lots to get through, although, for the sake of some team members, we might need to speak slowly and quietly... We started the day with a Foundation financial overview from natethomas. Even as a non-profit, volunteer-run organisation, keeping Kodi going is an expensive…

Day Two dawns... most people are bright-eyed and ready for another day, although, if I'm honest, some people may be here more in body than in spirit... LibreELEC Logo First on today, chewitt from LibreELEC gave us an update: the installed base continues to grow, with the Raspberry Pi in different…

Well, 2017 has turned out to be unusual, and we're not just talking world politics. This year, we've managed to bring the newly-extended team together for a second time; it's something we'd like to do more often, although it's unlikely that we'll be able to do it every year. So, it's a grey day in…

So - we've got to Day Three already, which means the final day of this DevCon. As the church bells rang in the day on this cloudless Sunday morning, the team was looking jaundiced. You can see the strains showing: long days of intense concentration are taking their toll on people. Perhaps it's the…

Day two dawns on what is a much better day in now-sunny Portugal. The team has emerged, blinking slowly in the unfamiliar daylight - copious amounts of espresso have been drunk to neutralise the effects of all those craft beers - and we're off once again. This is also probably an opportune time to…

Welcome to DevCon 2017! Unlike previous years, where we've tried to give a live blog of what's happening (much harder than it might seem!), this year, we're aiming to simply summarise the event for you all in a series of posts. So: DevCon 2017. Thirty-two of the finest team members, assembled…

It's been a busy half-year since Kodi's 2016 Developers' Conference last September in Budapest. During that time Kodi v17.0 "Krypton" was released, quickly followed by v17.1, a bug-fix only release. We made our way into the Windows Store, managed to scare a lot of fans with our April 1st prank and…

Evening – Day 1 image And that’s it for today. Tomorrow there should be less team talk and more actual feature presentations, so we look forward to seeing you all then! Afternoon Session – Day 1 Trademark Talk After lunch the subject of a number of different legal issues has been brought up. In…

2:20 Keith is now talking BizDev. Last year several of us went to CES somewhat randomly to talk to a smaller cable operator, and as a result we started talking to a number of pretty cool companies. One of the bigger results of that trip was the current work with Silicon Dust’s HD Homerun to make a…
