We took a nap for 2025, but we're back! Tomorrow night (3/26), the @MuxHQ speakeasy. @kixelated, @heff, and @hexdumpster talking about MoQ, Video.js, and HTTP3 at @discord.

Also we switched to Luma. Meetup is dead. Long live meetups.

We're continuing to trickle out edits from the last ~year of SF Video recordings that we were able to record.

The latest: Michel Roofthooft from June talking about "Navigating Cross-Platform Advertisement Challenges, Meeting Today's Expectations"

Ok so it's been a minute since we added fresh content to our YouTube playlist. We've got a big backlog of content to go through, so you'll see things drop here over the next few weeks!

First up, @GeneticGenesis from our May meetup! https://t.co/CAZCvcYNV3

Here's a preview from one of the talks:

[SF Video Technology @sfvidtech]

Yes, we have a backlog of videos to upload, but this gem about x264 timestamps by @m3u8 came up in a conversation, we were sad we hadn't recorded it, then we found it in our Twitch recordings. https://t.co/Tlj4UlHMAD

[SF Video Technology @sfvidtech]

Doors at 5:30 tonight for the last SF Video of 2023! We'll hear about how @NetflixEng turbocharges A/B tests with simulations, and Walker from @MuxHQ gets introspective about m3u8s. https://t.co/xS8R4z7c8j

Ok two updates for tonight's meetup:

@heff is also going to talk about kicking your player tower down. What's that mean? Come find out!

Nick sent me this screenshot and we're officially 2 digits old. 👴

June SF Video is *tonight*! We've got @sievedata talking about useful ML models for video and we totally didn't bully @GeneticGenesis into giving a talk. See you tonight, at *6pm* (new time!). https://t.co/JHVhIJFUab

We used all the good puns too QUIC, but it's the May meetup this month and we've got *two* incredible speakers lined up to talk about Media over QUIC.

We're doing lightning talks for the meetup tonight! People keep reaching out with amazing things they want to chat about, it's going to be a lot of fun.

We're approaching a decade (🙀) and this is still the best community out there. See y'all tonight.
