[theora-dev] Ogg DirectShow Filters are searching for a new maintainer
Sorry for the heavy cross-posting, but this is important. Zen Kavanaugh, who used to develop the Ogg DirectShow filters (see http://www.illiminable.com/ogg/) has crossed over to commercial life and is now working at Microsoft where he is not allowed to continue working on open source media technology. It's congratulations to Zen - but the DirectShow filters are now searching for a new maintainer. If you develop in Windows and are able to compile, test and package the DirectShow filters that are available from http://www.illiminable.com/ogg/ please consider taking them on. At this point in time, there is not much actual development required - just the occasional application of a patch, compilation, packaging and then publication. This is really important, so if you can help you should really consider stepping forward. Go for it! Cheers, Silvia.
