Summer Project_WebRTC
The project
We’ll be building a platform for hybrid and remote events. The Front-End will be in React and we want to make it Back-End agnostic, so that users should be able to choose whichever they prefer. For example, they might want to use Mux, or run their own Janus SFU.
Basic features
The basic features of the platform should likely be the following:
- Landing page with the current and next events
- API (CRUD) interface for events
- Presentation mode (stage)
- Chat and Q&A section (for all users)
- Audio and video controls
- Record the event (this might be tricky, depending on how we want to do it… Back-End platforms like Mux might provide this)

Summer Project_cmcd
The project
This exciting project is all about validating the implementation of CMCD (Common Media Client Data) in any video player. CMCD is a cutting-edge technology that allows for more efficient video streaming, and we’re here to put it to the test.
Built with love and passion for the video-dev community, our project aims to provide a fun and interactive way for video developers to verify their CMCD integration. With the CMCD-validator tool available on GitHub, participants can easily check if their video player is correctly implementing CMCD, ensuring smooth and seamless video playback for their users.
For more information on the project and why we chose CMCD, be sure to check out Will Law’s talk at the Montevideo Tech meetup.

How it started
Our inspiration✨
Last year our friend Ruud van der Linden surprised us! He packed his bags and traveled to Uruguay to work and connect with us.
Why? Because remote work is lonely and he saw an opportunity to generate new relationships, share experiences and, not least, escape from the cold (bye, winter! Hello, Uruguayan summer!)
This trip inspired us to spread this energy in our community!
That’s why we envisioned the Summer Camp: cultural exchange, an event created by and for video devs that invites us to meet face to face in Montevideo, Uruguay, to continue nurturing and developing this great community.
Our vision with the Summer Camp
Our vision with the Summer Camp: Cultural Exchange is to generate an incredible experience with a collaborative work space to connect, cultural exchanges, and the generation of new relationships.

Testimonials
The Power of Connection: stories from our participants!
"The motto for the event was 'Connect through the power of collaboration', and I think it captures perfectly the essence of the whole experience.
We started working together on an ambitious project, got to know each other in person and made friends sharing a mate.
We believe that open source projects greatly benefit from a close-knit, friendly community.
Events like this are what create and cement these communities, and we're very proud to have been part of this from the start."
Marco Vidonis
Developer at Nimble Ape Ltd
"The experience at the Summer Camp was inspiring and enriching.
I worked on Open Source projects and was part of an active community.
Starting a project from scratch and living different experiences at Qualabs was amazing.
The hospitality was impeccable and exceeded my expectations. I totally recommend the Summer Camp to network and grow professionally without losing sight of community development and video."
