Community Goals

The FOMS participants discussed key issues that open media systems are facing in the current environment:

  • Patent FUD around open codecs
  • RTP streaming for open codecs
  • Video and Audio metadata specifications
  • Open WEB Video technology
  • Comprehensive open media software tools
  • Cross-platform audio API for PCM audio capture and playback
  • Next-generation container formats

The following short-term goals were agreed on:

  • Patents: how to deal with patent FUD
    • document, document, document - put everything on record
    • essentially build up your own patent pool through documents
    • also publish why you think you're unencumbered
    • build up a body of allies & supporters
  • RTP/RTSP streaming:
    • we require a specification of Dirac over RTP
    • implementations for Vorbis and Theora over RTP are rare and need love, but we need developers for this
  • Metadata:
