grand opening!

Libobscura is a friendly library to use cameras on Linux.

At least that's the goal.

The objectives are:

- hard to use it wrong
- get a RGB buffer in ten lines of code
- easy to add support for new devices
- no mailing list :P

I want and other and workflows to become easy, and manufacturers to spend less time adding support (hi me 2 years ago).

@dcz @libcamera While I certainly welcome new projects and efforts in the camera space, I would appreciate if references to @libcamera gets removed from this and other posts as the two projects are not related.

@jmondi I confirm, the projects are not related. I mentioned libcamera or no other reason that it was a big source of inspiration and to let the contributors know.

@dcz that's really exciting! Seeing pipewire integration there in the list of goals makes it feel like something more than an experiment. Looking forward to see how it develops and builds a community in the next months!!
