Open Media Software Developers Plenary
Session Type: Working group
Session Category: Open Media Developers
Session Leader: Silvia Pfeiffer (Google)
Room: Faculty Commons
Time: 10:30am – 12:00pm
Day: Saturday
Description
This is the introductory plenary of the Open Media Developers track. We will welcome all open media software developers that are present, have a round of introductions so we all know who we can talk to about our tropics of interest, and determine what our expectations are for take-aways from the conference.
This session will be held on the first day and will be fairly short to allow us to move on into the more specialised technical sessions.
Outcome
This session will introduce the software projects that are represented at OVC and gather expectations of the attendees.
In particular we will determine if the topics that are covered in the sessions of this track are sufficient or if it makes sense to add more sessions on particular topics of interest to participants.

On Monday we'll be at the Events Center around the corner. That's the official hack space during the conference.
Separation of "technology" and "open media developer" tracks
Other discussion ideas
- Web Audio API - competing proposals
- Streaming server implementations - Luca, Thomas
- Media Stream API proposal - browser people should talk about that in the device api session, maybe follow up on monday
- Content protection in HTML5
- Playlists, APIs among players and browsers. Multiple clips with seamless transition - maybe talk about in the flash vs html5 panel?
- Alpha channel in HTML5 video? - will talk about that in webm context
- How to loop HTML5 video. Browser bug? Too slow? Doesn't work in Mozilla and Chrome at least. Not seamless.
- Positional/3D audio? Possible with Apple's Web Audio api proposal
Encourage pair programming to fix specific issues in the session.
