-<h2>The Beginning</h2>
-<p>
-Many moons ago, the <a href="http://www.xiph.org/ogg/">Ogg</a> project started with a
-codec called ‘Squish.’ Squish was an attempt to build a royalty-free lossless
-audio codec. Someone had a trademark on the word ‘Squish,’ so the name was changed to
-‘Ogg Squish.’ This was an extremely minor setback, but there was another obstacle to
-the project on the horizon.
-</p>
-<p>
-In September of 1998, Fraunhofer IIS sent out ‘letters of infringement’ to several MPEG
-audio layer 3 development projects, and focus quickly changed to develop an alternative
-to mp3. The <a href="http://www.vorbis.com">Ogg Vorbis</a> project was born.
-</p>
-<h2>Back To The Future</h2>
-<p>
-While we were busy working on our own stuff, several projects popped up to embrace
-different aspects of open and free multimedia. One of the most impressive was <a
-href="http://flac.sf.net">FLAC</a>, or Free Lossless Audio Codec. FLAC does what Squish
-was supposed to do. More importantly, with version 1.1.0 now <a
-href="http://flac.sourceforge.net/news.html">released</a> to the universe, it’s a
-more-than-capable full-featured codec that’s ready for prime-time.
-</p>
-<p>
-Here at Xiph.Org, it’s our job to support open and free multimedia, even if it wasn’t
-created here. A couple months ago, I approached the head of the FLAC project, Josh
-Coalson, with a proposition: Why not join forces for global domination? FLAC will get
-access to Xiph’s resources and a laissez-faire approach to their codebase, and we get
-to put a working project in place to fill the gap left by a focus change that happened
-five years ago.
-</p>
-<p>
-Josh sent out a missive to the FLAC development team. Open Source and Free Software
-projects are more often collaborative efforts than strictly the brainchild of one
-person. It was important to us that the FLAC team be cool with the idea. Happily,
-response was positive.
-</p>
-<h2>Today, Tomorrow and Beyond</h2>
-<p>
-Today, The FLAC project joins the Xiph.Org Foundation. FLAC’s mailing lists and
-website will be moved over to Xiph’s servers in the next few days, and our
-collaboration will be celebrated throughout the land.
-</p>
-<p>
-What’s next? After the housewarming party, FLAC will continue to progress, and all the
-current Xiph projects (like <a
-href="http://www.vorbis.com">Ogg Vorbis</a>, <a href="http://www.speex.org">Speex</a>,
-<a
-href="http://www.theora.org">Theora</a> and <a
-href="http://www.icecast.org">Icecast</a>) will keep going, as well. 2003 has already
-been an exciting year for Xiph, and we’re only twenty-nine days into it.
-</p>
-<h2>How Can You Help?</h2>
-<p>
-If you’re a software developer, please consider donating some time and effort to our
-projects by <a href="http://www.xiph.org/svn.html">grabbing some source code</a> and
-hacking away from the comfort of your chosen location.
-</p>
-<p>
-If you’ve got fairly deep pockets and you want to help make sure that we can continue
-to kick ass and take names, please consider making a <a
-href="http://www.xiph.org/ogg/vorbis/donate.html">donation</a> to our fine
-organization.
-</p>
-<p>
-If you can’t afford to donate time or money, that’s okay, too. Just let your friends know that we’re here, so that they’re aware that patent and royalty-free alternatives to proprietary multimedia formats exist. We don’t have the resources available to evangelize and promote our work, so we need to rely on good word-of-mouth from kind folks like you.

-<h1>Speex reaches 1.0; Xiph.Org now a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization</h1>
-<h2>Speex reaches 1.0</h2>
-<p>
-After a year of development, Speex has finally hit the big-time and gone to version
-1.0. Speex is a <abbr title='Code Excited Linear Prediction'>CELP</abbr>-based free and open
-audio compression codec specifically tuned to
-compress human speech at bitrates ranging from 2 to 44 kbps. The bitstream and
-<abbr title='Application Programming Interface'>API</abbr> are now officially frozen.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-Here’s a feature list for Speex 1.0:
-</p>
-<ul>
-<li>Narrowband (8 kHz), wideband (16 kHz), and ultra-wideband (32 kHz) compression in
-the same bitstream</li>
-<li>Intensity stereo encoding</li>
-<li>Packet loss concealment</li>
-<li title="Speex uses more bits for more difficult-to-encode audio, and less
-bits for less">Variable bitrate operation (VBR)</li>
-
-<li title="Speex can detect if someone is speaking or not, and adjust itself
-accordingly">Voice Activity Detection (VAD)</li>
-<li title="Speex can stop sending data if it thinks itߣs okay (such as when
-there is no voice data)">Discontinuous Transmission (DTX)</li>
-</ul>
-<p>
-There’s a lot of information on Speex over at
-<a href="http://www.speex.org/">Speex.org</a>, including a page of
-<a href='http://www.speex.org/audio/samples/'>samples</a> for
-you to try out.
-</p>
-<p>
-I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Jean-Marc Valin and the rest of the Speex
-team for delivering such a fantastic product to the world. As patent-encumbered and expensive
-voice-compression products continue to invade the
-<abbr title='Voice over IP'>VoIP</abbr> industry, we’re
-incredibly proud to help them bring a free and open standard to the masses.
-</p>
-<h2>We’re Legal!</h2>
-<p>
-After about a million pages of
-documentation, a billion phonecalls and endless amounts of patience, the Xiph.Org
-Foundation has been recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization.
-</p>
-<p>
-If you live in the United States, donations to Xiph are now tax-deductible. That means
-that you’ll be able to <a href="http://www.xiph.org/ogg/vorbis/donate.html">kick us a few
-bucks</a>, write it off on your taxes, and help us keep
-delivering really cool technology to the universe. Not a bad deal, eh? Also, a lot of
-companies match donations to 501(c)(3) organizations, so if you’re going to donate, drop
-a message to your company’s accounting department.
-</p>
-<p>
-If you can’t donate, that’s okay, too. In most of the Western world, there’s a recession going on, and that makes it tough for people to donate to cool things they care about. If you’d like to help out, just let people know about our technology. We rely on clever folks like you to introduce our tech to their friends and associates. Maybe one of your friends will like our stuff, win the lottery, and donate to our cause. Maybe they won’t. Either way, you’ll be sharing free best-of-class technology, and your friends will consider you a brilliant and helpful citizen of Earth. See? We all win.
-</p>
-<p>
-Many thanks to all of our supporters. We couldn’t do it without
-you, and we hope you’ll keep giving open multimedia a fair shake. We promise to do our
-best to make it worth the effort.
