GTK and Adobe Flash
Dear Miss, Sir, I have a question that is difficult to answer. We have an application in GTK and we want to embed Adobe Flash 9 into it. Is there a way to realize this? Now we do it by embedding firefox but we want native support. I have found some things about adobe we can assign a window id but all versions that i try have no window id option. Can you point me in the right direction. Regards, Johan Smits The Netherlands. ___ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
Where to find minutes of bi-weekly GF board meetings?
Apologies if this has already been discussed (but if it has, the webpage needs to be updated). Does the board still have regular (phone) meetings? And if there are minutes, and if they are published, where can I find them? Thanks. http://foundation.gnome.org/about/ The Board of Directors meets every other week with a phone conference to discuss various topics pertaining to the regular activities of the GNOME Foundation and GNOME. The minutes to these meetings are posted publicly on the foundation-list archives. -- Ciarán O'Riordan (+32 477 36 44 19) \ Support Free Software and GNU/Linux http://ciaran.compsoc.com/ _ \ Join FSFE's Fellowship: http://fsfe.org/fellows/ciaran/weblog \ http://www.fsfe.org ___ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
Re: Where to find minutes of bi-weekly GF board meetings?
Minutes get sent to foundation-announce: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-announce/ The last two meetings were not minuted because they were on a private board-only matter; I've been meaning to send an announcement to foundation-announce about that, but exams have made it difficult for me to do anything in a timely manner. My apologies. Luis On Mon, May 19, 2008 at 6:52 AM, Ciaran O'Riordan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Apologies if this has already been discussed (but if it has, the webpage needs to be updated).

Re: GTK and Adobe Flash
I don't think any of the free software flash players handles Flash 9. Gnash has partly implemented it, but not completely; its maintainer says that swfdec is less advanced. If that is true, it is a bad thing to use Flash 9, because you would, in effect, be pressuring people to use the non-free Adobe flash player. ___ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list

Whatever is the state of the Free Software implementation, using Flash is bad for Free Software, because Flash is not an open standard, is a poorly documented format, and leverage non-royalty free technologies like MP3, Sorenson Sparks, ON2 VP6, partial support of MPEG4, etc. So whatever version of Flash it is, it is not good for Free Software, on an advocating point of view. But we are really sliding off-topic now. Hub ___ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list

My apologies. Two clarifications: * 'private board-only' should be read as 'currently board confidential'; we generally dislike doing anything private and obviously do that only when absolutely necessary, and we hope at some point in the near future to reveal as much as possible about this. * to clarify, this was one regular meeting + one 'special' meeting. There is at least one other regular meeting whose minutes are stuck in my queue; I hope to get to that shortly, but as I've just started a new job this week, my time is going to be sort of sporadic for a while.

For what it's worth (not much in this context I guess), the Open Screen Project seems like a step in the right direction: http://www.adobe.com/openscreenproject/faq/ Not an open standard, but at least you now have permission to read the specs and implement a player with the knowledge. Given that Flash is a technology that won't vanish overnight even if all open source developers would hope for it really hard tonight before going to bed, any help on implementing an open source solution to access that content is probably a good thing, even if the formats aren't. -- Kalle Vahlman, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Powered by http://movial.fi Interesting stuff at http://syslog.movial.fi ___ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
