Over the past few months, we have been working on a Public Access Digital Media Archive (www.pad.ma) and are having a beta-launch event on the 28th of February at JnanaPravaha Art Gallery at Fort.

The interface has been written in Python (using the Turbogears frame-work) and Javascript and all the code is GPL. We are using Ogg Theora as the video encoding format for all the videos in the archive. The only browser it does not support is IE;-). Very much looking forward to larger involvement from the FOSS community and should be interesting for anyone who is interested in video, the web, and FOSS. All are welcome and very much looking forward to seeing some Linuxers there. For details of the event, directions, etc.: http://www.camputer.org/event.php?id=7

Warm regards, Sanjay
