Mini-conference followup

[Holger Levsen]

Hi,

sorry for the late reply, I've been laying in bed with quite heavy fever the 
whole of last week. On the plus side I was fit again this (last) saturday, to 
go to Berlin and found the olpc germany association. (More news on this will 
follow..)

I'll make sure this will end up linked at http://layer-acht.org/video - so 
that you'll only have to remember that URL in future :-)

decoding dirac now works (in Debian sid, thouugh backports to etch are 
trivial), but both the decoder and the encoder lack some serious 
optimisation, the performance is still quite poor.
