free manuals about free software and in August (10-15) we will hold Book
Sprint (http://www.flossmanuals.net/booksprints) about Ogg Theora. We
will write a really good manual (book) about Ogg Theora in 5 days. The

least some of the following :

-commandline ffmpeg2theora, dvgrab, oggfwd

-linphone

Another topic of interest might be 'Theora hardware' (the Elphel 333 camera was a good example of theora in hardware, but looks like it's discontinued :( )> We are keen to get anyone to the sprint that wants to come.

Also note that /everybody/ can participate remotely (for free :) as external editors, using a web-interface (see http://en.flossmanuals.net/BookSprints/Roles). BTW Adam, if you want to get some of the Theora developers on board, what about asking at theora-dev? cheers, David -- GnuPG public key: http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~dvdkhlng/dk.gpg Fingerprint: B17A DC95 D293 657B 4205 D016 7DEF 5323 C174 7D40 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
