Hi Team,<br><br>I think it would be cool if at least one Amarok developer would present here (hi Seb, it's close to your part of the marble).<br><br>Bart<br><br>

<p>We recently opened the
<a href="http://www.foms-workshop.org/foms2009/pmwiki.php/Main/CFP">FOMS 2009 Call for Participation</a>. FOMS — Foundations of Open Media Software — is a developer workshop "to widen cooperation and interoperability among open source media projects". It will be held a few days before <a href="http://linux.conf.au/">linux.conf.au</a>, in Hobart, Tasmania.
</p>
<p>
This year's FOMS had a large emphasis on
<a href="http://blog.kfish.org/2008/02/foms-lca-2008-roundup.html">free codecs</a>, with many of the Xiph.Org developers in attendance.
In 2009 we really hope to expand the participation to include people from projects with alternate technical viewpoints, such as those of
<a href="http://www.mplayerhq.hu">MPlayer</a> and <a href="http://nut-container.org/">NUT</a>. It would also be good to get some exposure to projects like
<a href="http://openbossa.indt.org/canola/">Canola2</a> and
<a href="http://omxil.sourceforge.net/">Bellagio</a>, in order to deal with the issues of mobile multimedia. If you're involved in development of those or similar projects and would be interested in attending FOMS 2009, please respond to the CFP; there will be some travel grants available to help get you to Tasmania.
