Announcing FOMS Developer Workshop at OVC
Thursday, June 3rd, 2010
FOMS—the Foundations of Open Media Software Workshop—is coming to New York on October 3rd and 4th, on the heels of the Open Video Conference. If you are a technically-oriented developer who is planning to make it to NYC for the Open Video Conference, you might want to plan on extending your stay.
FOMS is a action-oriented workshop designed for individuals that work on open audio and video software. This year, FOMS will have a special emphasis on the new WebM format announced by Google, Mozilla, and Opera. We will identify and close technology gaps to help progress WebM towards a baseline codec solution for HTML5.
FOMS workshops have been held in the week prior to linux.conf.au for the past four years. This will mark the first time it comes to North America, and we are thrilled to see it happening.
If you would like to attend, please contact foms-committee(at)lists.annodex.net or register online, and visit FOMS for full details.
