hey everyone,

Sorry for the seriously late intimation ;-). After a fun and productive event at CAMP this Sunday, Dr. Nagarjun is kindly hosting another session at HBCSE this evening 5 pm onwards. Just in case anyone can make it at such short notice, will be great, else we shall be posting pictures, videos and a report of the events shortly.

Event Details:

A seminar on Pad.ma and Firefox development will be held in Homi Bhabha Centre for Science education, TIFR on 23rd Tuesday evening at 5pm.

Pad.ma is a full featured video archival website started as a collaboration between a number of groups (http://pad.ma/about). As a software project, the site uses completely open web and video technologies, significantly, the open source Theora video codec. Pad.ma has pushed the boundaries of what is possible with video on the web - being perhaps the first website to offer time-based annotations, server-side seeking to an arbitrary point in the video, partial clip download, client-side video encoding through the Firefogg browser plugin, alongwith full-text search through the video material. Jan, Sebastian and Sanjay will be talking on Pad.ma.

Firefox does not need any Introduction. Mozilla Firefox is getting ready for the new Internet standard HTML 5, and the speakers from Mozilla Foundation will talk on what HTML5 means for the users and developers, what revolution is expected in terms of web applications. Seth, Arun and Axel will be speaking from Mozilla Foundation.

The seminar will be informal and participants can interact with the guest speakers. The meeting will conclude with a Tea/Coffee and snacks at around 7pm.

We are sorry for the very short intimation, but we hope you will all make use of the opportunity to attend.

All are welcome, RSVP lab@gnowledge.org

(note: the speakers from the Mozilla foundation may not make it due to their schedule, but have sent us tons of material that we will present some of.)

Sorry if you have received this email from multiple mailing lists.

Thanks, Sanjay
