Hi everybody, I'm sorry to have to announce that one of our planned speakers for tonight is actually in hospital right now and will not be able to give the talk.
We will thus have the opportunity to focus the event tonight on the topic of digital media on Linux. We have been fortunate enough to talk Shane Stephens from CSIRO into extending his presentation and providing both a general talk and a more specific codefest/technical talk tonight. Here is a summary overview of what we will do tonight: 1. General talk Shane Stephens, CSIRO, Official release of the library that will change the future of digital media ;-) includes - state of the nation on open media codecs on Linux - future for open media, in particular around HTML5 - release the library that will provide native support of Ogg Theora in Firefox - how to use Ogg Theora in a web browser that has liboggplay working (javascript api etc) - explain encoding toolchain - explain cmmlwiki and how to publish Ogg Theora/Annodex 2. technical talk: Shane Stephens & colleagues, CSIRO How to code with liboggplay on Linux, Windows and the Mac - how to extend your Firefox right now with native Ogg Theora support - how to generally code with liboggplay, e.g. enable a random application to support Ogg Theora 3.
