I am not affiliated with the event, so please be aware of my ignorance. However, what seems obvious is that if many major players or emerging contenders are going to be on the floor, they may have questions about Free video codecs, the <video> element, Gnash, and other such video projects; and the proponents of those respective projects are the very best people to ask. It seems to me that it would behoove us as a collective community with a desire for a more free video ecology to put our best out there and make sure that where networking happens, the people defending our digital freedoms and opening the way to a more open web are there to collaborate. Wish I could be there, Ryan
