Hi Brion and Andrew,
I think it makes sense to give an overview of all video initiatives in a single session --
and include highlights of Brion’s work in the same session that Andrew and I are
contributing to.
Though if Brion would like to spend more time going over the technical details of his work
on supporting video on mobile platforms, I agree with Andrew that it would make sense to
have him give a follow-up session immediately after the overview — since the target
audience might be different.
I guess that would be up to the organizers, ultimately. Either way works for me :)
Cheers,
Fabrice

Hey Brion, sorry didn't see your submission
either.
Perhaps we can combine them so you talk more the technical parts, the infrastructure
challenges, your cool JS experiments.
I can talk more about the user-facing challenges, such as the state of open source user
tools, the stats on video use in articles, and content concerns.
We can also talk about possible ways for Internet Archive to be part of the solution.
Hopefully by the time Wikimania comes around, we'll have something in place.
We could propose one hour for both of us that way -- 30/30?
-Andrew

Looks like I also submitted one that has some overlap
there, as I hadn't seen Andrew's in yet at submission time --

Shall I do my presentation of compatibility tools as a subsection of yours, or refocus my
presentation proposal on the tools & research projects and keep it separate? 30
minutes is probably a bit tight for three people to present so I'm thinking I'll
refocus mine. :)

Hi folks,
Now that I am back from vacation, I would like to put together a page listing all
Wikimania 2014 proposals related to Multimedia.
If you submitted a proposal on that topic, could you please share the link with us?
I would also like to thank Andrew Lih for submitting this proposal on video, which I will
be joining as well:
