Using Mozilla's convening power to gather the world's most talented open video developers with independent filmmakers in an open source laboratory. Together they'll produce a series of episodes and reference implementations that showcase what's possible. And create a lasting open source video toolset the world can use to innovate, adapt and build on in future.<br> | ||
