The personal blog of Robert McQueen. Loch Torridon, West Highlands, Scotland. May 21, 2010. As you all know by now, exciting moves from Google on the WebM project. Have lead to them open-sourcing On2’s VP8 codec to provide a freely available video codec for HTML5 content. Collabora Multimedia worked with Entropy Wave. Found it worked out of the box with Epiphany too. Predictably, the MPEG-LA aren’t too pleased with this. The question is now whether the allure of Google’s content will win over again...

The personal blog of Robert McQueen. Loch Torridon, West Highlands, Scotland. July 9, 2009. Empathy / Telepathy BOF at GCDS. Flyby blog entry. Been an awesome week, hope people enjoyed the Collabora party last night. Getting to the GNOME Shell BOF this morning was a real struggle, but I really like the way its going. We’ve scheduled an Empathy BOF for Friday at 15:45 in room 2-4, hoping to talk with folks about improving the accounts UI, tracker/addressbook and GNOME Shell integration.

In games and Tomboy sharing too, as well as som...
