[foms] FOMS + VidTechCon?

[Scott Kellicker]

Vid Tech Con looks interesting.  Adding a FOMS day would be great.  

Be great to have some discussions around ads, specifically ad insertion for live streams (we discussed some of this at FOMS/FOSDEM), 
CC/WebVTT is interesting as well
The last west coast FOMS had great representation from browser vendors-- this was especially useful to get reality of state of MSE/EME.  Would like to have similar discussions
And WebRTC

I would push to have FOMS the day before the conference, making travel a little easier without sacrificing half the weekend.

I'd be keen to have another FOMS and this conference looks awesome to have FOMS next to.

My personal focus would still be about WebVTT and video accessibility from a spec writer viewpoint.
I'm also keen on WebRTC discussions.

Would we be able to get a venue for a second day, maybe the 2nd October?

I can't promise anything at this stage, but I'll try to get myself organised around my current employment.

Keen to hear from others whether they'd be able to attend and what they'd like to discuss.

Cheers,
Silvia.
