Notes from ODF Plugfest in Granada, Day One
,----[ Quote ]
| The ODF Plugfest is a Conference whose goal
| is to to achieve the maximum interoperability
| between competing applications, platforms and
| technologies in the area of digital document
| sharing, and to promote the OpenDocument
| format (ODF). This page, as the others that
| will follow on this website, is a short
| technical summary, primarily aimed at
| developers, of what happened during the first
| day of the conference. Later next week I'll
| also post a non-technical summary of the
| whole event at the Stop.

Google May Free The World From Flash Slavery!
,----[ Quote ]
| Adobe Flash is one of those shackles which
| keep the 'free' citizens of the world tied to
| the chains of Slaveware (proprietary)
| technologies. You have to install proprietary
| software to watch videos and other rich
| content like animation.
|
| Apple bursted Adobe's bubble when it refused
| to allow Flash on its mobile devices like
| iPhone and iPad. The reason Apple did that
| was not that it preferred Free Standard based
| HTML5, but because Flash would allow a lot of
| applications run in these devices without
| Apple's permission.

HTML5 vs. Flash / Open Letter To Adobe
,----[ Quote ]
| There are only a few problems web browser
| developers and users have with Adobe Flash.
|
| 1. Performance.
|
| 2. Stability. Due to poor implementation in
| the browser.
|
| 3. Need for a Plugin. Having to download and
| update a plugin.
|
| 4. Platform Compatibility. There are long
| standing bugs in the GNU/Linux version.
|
| 5. Need for Expensive Proprietary Software.
| To develop Flash content.

Developing with HTML5
,----[ Quote ]
| HTML4 has served us for more than 10 years now
| and there hasn't been any major update in it,
| there is XHTML that has done a little more by
| making code more strict, if at all you are
| concerned with HTML compliance. Work on HTML5
| was started in 2004 by a group called WHATWG
| founded by Apple, Mozilla and Opera. Most new
| browsers are now supporting new HTML5 tags. In
| this article, we will have a look at some
| HTML5 features which will make your web
| development easier and organized.

The pros and cons of html 5 video
,----[ Quote ]
| When I received the news of youtube using html
| 5 for their video streaming I was interested.
| When I tested it out and saw how much better
| it worked for me than the flash video I was
| excited about this new development. My
| excitement quickly turned to concern when I
| learned why Mozilla is not supporting this new
| streaming video format in their Firefox
| browser.
|
| [...]
|
| At least right now their is some competition.
| Not the kind of competition that the open
| source community would like to see. But as
| long as the h.264 codec exist then Adobe is
| not left to control the market entirely and as
| long as the Adobe flash format is in existence
| they force MPEG-LA to find a way to be
| competitive.
