Should I go?

Anyone interested in open source multimedia is encouraged to attend the GStreamer Conference 2012. If you are a hobbyist or a student interested in the field of multimedia, or working for a company using or looking to use GStreamer in their products, then this is the perfect event for you to network at and learn more about the latest technological breakthroughs in and around GStreamer.
