Vorbis dev - May 2007 - Xiph Online Meeting on 16th of May, Wednesday, 6:00 am UTC?

Hello everyone,

It's been a while since the last meeting and issues are starting to
pile up again.  I propose a meeting at the 16th of May, next Wednesday
at 6:00 am UTC.  Does everyone agree with time/day?

Agenda may be found at http://wiki.xiph.org/index.php/MonthlyMeeting200705

Preliminary Agenda:
* Google Summer of Code 2007; how are the projects/candidates going?

* discussing current proposals to use Xiph codecs outside Ogg and
which one we should endorse [1] [2]
** I, Ivo, have talked with Monty about the proposal from the mplayer
people, and we decided it would be best to reach a consensus between
the concerned parties (i.e. our codec developers).

* libao
** BeN [F1233 121D3R] offered to mantain libao[3] and provide a libao
win32 patch[4].

* theora
**What about releasing 1.0alpha8 with current svn of theora-old, while
completing the transition to the new complete decoder (which now is
slower in many cases)[5]? Current svn of theora-old has a faster
decoder and an improved encoder wrt 1.0alpha7.

* other project reports/updates



***If we are to have a meeting it IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT THE LINKS
BELOW ARE ANALYZED PRIOR TO THE MEETING, or we'll be wasting a lot of
time during it.***

Could I please add a discussion on the mimetype/extension issue and
see if we can get a solution that we can all agree on?

Cheers,
Silvia.

Assuming I have the conversion right and that's 10PM Tuesday night 
*PST*, I can make it.

I'd add an agenda item for a quick status report from each of the major 
projects.  How are things going?  What have you accomplished lately, 
what's coming up?

The other agenda items don't really have any XSPF implications.

Sure.  I guess I should have added that considering the recent updates
on the discussion.  Silvia, will you attend the meeting?

Sebastian Pipping also asked me if we could discuss the move of the
XSPF validator created by him to Motherfish.  I'll add that as well.
