Intro to Annodex.net
Presenters: Conrad Parker, Silvia Pfeiffer, Andre Pang (aka The
All-Star Annodex.net Core Team)
Annodex media is a new format for video surfing, developed by a bunch
of slugsy coders at CSIRO in Sydney. The format lets you do heaps of
webby stuff with media files like deep linking, searching, querying
and blogging. It's easy to use and it plays nicely with all your
hardware, software and wetware: servers, proxies, databases, web
monkeys, sysadmins, you name it, everyone loves Annodex.
The format is based on Ogg technologies, and a BSD-licensed open
source toolkit and full specs are available at www.annodex.net. We're
proposing it as an open standard through the IETF and we're damn
proud
to give sluggers a first look at it. We'll show you everything you
need to get going with Annodex on Linux -- how to get surfing with
it,
how to create cool content, and the basics of dynamically generating
video and managing media files.
Apache/mod_perl
Angus Lees will be taking us through Apache/mod_perl internals
in depth.
"mod_perl is more than CGI scripting on steroids. It is a whole new
way to create dynamic content by utilizing the full power of the
Apache web server to create stateful sessions, customized user
authentication systems, smart proxies and much more. Yet, magically,
your old CGI scripts will continue to work and work very fast indeed.
With mod_perl you give up nothing and gain so much!"
Vote

be holding a vote to formalise the mailing list spam policy as per
