If somebody has connections to media developers in Microsoft or Opera (or other browser for that matter), do invite them! We will find a spot for them even though tickets are already low! COMMUNITY We've made an extra effort to invite open source/community developers and are very happy about some of the extra people we're able to fly in from GStreamer, Matroska, VideoLAN and other projects. PRESENTATIONS We'll be asking a few people to provide us with presentations to break up the discussion sessions a bit this year since we run for 2 days this year. Other than that, we will be asking everyone the standard position statement questions at the beginning of every FOMS: 1. Who are you? 2. What do you work on? 3. What are your current challenges / what do you expect from FOMS? No need for slides for this one - it's an introduction round. The rest of the workshop is planned as usual in unconference style depending on the discussion topics identified in the position statements. DINNER Please reserve you evening on the first night for a joint dinner - we're currently planning the details. Looking forward to meeting you all at FOMS again! Cheers, Silvia & Michael. --- FOMS Organising Committee
