FOMS: Foundations of Open Media Software

From Thursday 11 – Friday 12 January 2007 we will have some of the world’s top open media software developers gather in Sydney at a workshop titled “Foundations of Open Media Software” (FOMS).

The workshop takes place in the week before linux.conf.au (LCA), thus enabling developers to cross-pollinate with the developers and attendants of LCA. FOMS is supported by LCA with venue and other logistics.

I’m happy to be one of the core organisers of this workshop and very excited about the vibe that this will bring to the open media software developer community. FOMS creates a venue for a community that has thus far not had its own gathering place.

In January: Sydney will rock the FOSS world doubly!!
