Pad.ma @ HBCSE
Feb. 23, 2010 - Feb. 23, 2010
We will be doing a presentation of pad.ma at the Homi Bbhabha Centre for Science and Education on
Tuesday, Feb. 23rd, 2010, 5pm onwards.
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.
