On January the 11th-12th the FOMS (foundations of open media software) conference will take place in Sydney Australia with linux.conf.au taking place the next week. Open media hackers will get together and discuss the future of open media. from the site:
The aim of the FOMS meeting is get the right people together to take the next steps in open media software. Meet and discuss your plans for the next 12 months with other developers and forge relationships to unwind the kinks, making open media kick ever more ass.
This should be an interesting gathering and an opportunity to plan & strategize how to maximize the adoption of open media, software, platforms and codecs throughout the internet. Or to borrow a phrase, its time for open media to kick ass and chew bubble gum & we all out of bubble gum.

Aphid & I (dale) will be hosting a free culture/free skool class. It will take place Nov 7th, 14th & 21st 6:30-8pm UCSC Porter Room D245. Anyone interested in free and open source media should come check it out. Here is the description that will go out with the freeskool prints, which should be going out soon.
We will examine free and open source software for purpose of democratizing the production of audio/video media. We share how to work with free and open content repositories such as archive.org & metavid. We look at methods of subverting proprietary content sources, for critical use. We will look at free and open source systems for video editing and discuss methods for online collaborative media production. And finally look at systems of online distribution. Participants are encouraged to bring their laptops if they have them.
Update: Here is an outline of Open Media as discussed in the first meeting.

The metavid contribution to the danm.01(.alpha.unstable-branch.. hehe) show that opens this week will be highlighting user-built sequences. Users are highly encouraged to throw together collections of clips to help us have something to show :).
A sequence is essentially a collection of clips. if you are logged in to bleeding edge bleeding edge interface and you have a video clip open, you should see a ‘ADD TO SEQUENCE’ button, this will let you create (and link externally to) your sequence.
We imagine that this will be useful for building thematic montages, or people using the same word, or perhaps showing a speaker contradicting himself.
Keep an eye on Building A Sequence in the wiki for documentation (and discussion) of how this works.
Update: Sequences are going through some renovation right now, but feel free to keep track of your favorite clips in the wiki.
Update2:Â Sequences can be built with drag and drop goodness.. Watch for a more detailed post and update of metavid happening in a few days
