GSoC 2024 cohort idea list

Idea 1: Introduce DMA-BUF backend in Wayshot for high performance screen capture Possible Mentor(s) Zubair Mohammed zubair.mh@protonmail.com Aakash Sen Sharma aakashsensharma@gmail.com Angelo Fallaria ba.fallaria@gmail.com Difficulty: Hard Project Size: Large (350 hours) Skills: Rust Description: Currently Wayshot performs image capturing and transformations through the CPU, causing bottlenecking. This idea will implement a DMA-BUF backend and a client-side API for high performance image capturing and transformations on the GPU. The new backend and api should enable high performance streaming over applications like OBS using our custom desktop portal backend.
