Dear *,

If you know someone how would be interested to talk about Mozilla/Fedora
cooperation or other talk in relation with Fedora and Mozilla projects,
please let me know.
Because, I could have a slot in the Mozilla devroom @ FOSDEM'10 for you or
him.

Thanks for your help and your time.

Hi Frederic!

In the recent Athens Digital Week I have given a speech on Mozilla
Labs and possible integration with distro projects(in particular
Fedora). I happen to be a Mozilla contributor too, but I suppose I
dont know many on specific (already done) collaboration between our
project and Mozilla's. Could you please specify the contex of the talk
(or any specific suggestions from the Mozilla team)

Thanks in advance!

Dear Pierros,

Ok this is the situation, as the rules for distributions have changed at
FOSDEM'10. Now, we have three dev room to share with other distributions.
So that is why I was looking for speakers who can talk about subject which
could interest other distributions.
Now, the talk proposals deadline was yesterday.
However, i received a call from Mozilla Foundation if we could be interested
to do a talk together.
*The idea behind that is to put special emphasis on collaborations between
Fedora and other open source projects.*

So it would be great if you could make a talk about what we could do to
improve the collaboration between Mozilla and Fedora.
In addition, it will be an innovation in comparison with iother distribution
in we can do it in the Mozilla devroom. ;)

So, in conclusion, if you accept the mission i would be really happy.

Max and Paul are in cc, just to let them know.

BR
Frederic

Although Christopher Aillon probably will not be at FOSDEM to give a
talk, as the maintainer for some Mozilla products in Fedora, I'd
recommend that any speaker consult with him on the topic.

One example of where we have collaborated above the level of packaging
and development is with open video:

http://www.0xdeadbeef.com/weblog/2009/11/why-open-video-2/

Red Hat's "Monty" Montgomery worked directly with the Xiph Foundation
and Mozilla on codec improvements to empower content creators
worldwide, and the newencoder was featured early in Rawhide and in now
in the Fedora 12 release.  That's a valuable story that could use more
exposure.

Also, there's a video of Monty here:

I know there are Ogg versions available but I haven't had a chance to
locate them yet.  I'll get back to the list with those URLs.
