Miro - Democratize Video!
As some of you already know, since a couple of months I am supporting the not-for-profit Participatory Culture Foundation (PCF) and their genius open source media player Miro. The PCF, supported by other non-profit organizations such as Mozilla and a number of individuals (Mitch Kapor or the Rappaport Family to name a few) was created a couple of years ago to promote open and free access to online video content - both from a consumer’s as well as from a producer’s point of view. I strongly believe this is increasingly important as proprietory services such as Apple’s iTunes are limiting the type of content (and thus information) you can consume online.
Why am I telling you all this? Easy - first of all: Download Miro and enjoy a truly great video experience. Secondly - Contact me if you are interested in doing something with Miro; We are really open to all ideas.
And now - have a great weekend and don’t forget to send me an email if you want to hone your pitching skills.
