This year's FOMS meeting is a three-day event. For the first time, we have added a third day with a hacking focus.
Morning: Short "five slide" position statements in the morning, with each project identifying their work and current challenges.
We start with position statements and a 'getting to know you' section at the beginning of the meeting. This introduces everyone and gets the group on the same page. There will be regular breaks, as it's not wildly interactive if there are a lot of projects presenting. The position statements are done with a standardised five slide deck, respectively:
Afternoon: topic identification and breakout groups on particular topics of importance.
Further breakout groups, time to address the issues identified on the first day and start hacking.
Hacking day. Go off in smaller groups and code away or make plans for the next codec that will rock the world, or the next media usage scheme.
