It's encapsulated Flash :(
Maybe I can pull it off and transcode it to Theora that would be nice
(Eben's too)

I'm not sure if people will have seen this with all the other noise
about Novell etc.:

The scripting engine of Flash (which, from what I've been told, is very
much like Javascript anyway) has been donated to Mozilla, and will be
part of their future JS implementation (I gather).
In other Adobe news, people may have seen that they're building on other
free software like WebKit:
http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Apollo
(RIA's == "Rich Internet Applications", FYI)
.. and Microsoft's XML Paper Specification seems to have scared them
into doing:
http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Mars
While Adobe haven't been terribly free software friendly in many ways in
the past, it does seem like now is an opportune time to talk to them:
they may be becoming more receptive to the needs of the free software
community.

Georg Greve's mugshot was smiling out from
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/james-love/the-un-launches-the-inter_b_33498.…
about the launch of the Internet Governance Forum, so I headed over to
http://www.fsfe.org/en/fellows/greve/freedom_bits/internet_governance_forum…
and from there to http://www.intgovforum.org/ through a couple of links
(please stop setting target="_blank" on FSFE sites - if I want a new
window, I'll open one.)
I find it rather hard to read the low-contrast (=>WCAG-AAA-failing)
www.intgovforum.org, so I override stylesheets and may be missing some
detail, but I get the impression that it's the "big bad" businesses that
dominate topics of main common interest to FSFE supporters - Google,
Sun, Microsoft, ... - and friendly businesses are few and far between.
Is that accurate?
In short, will IGF fare better than WSIS?
I'm asking some questions about representation and access directly, but
if anyone knows a "getting involved in IGF" link, please post it.
Thanks for reading this ramble,

Hello,
I am about to take over maintainership of a small project (just a hobby,
won't be big and professional like gnu) ;-) and I'm wondering where is
best to host it.
I know that there were some "freedom" problems with Sourceforge in
recent history but I can't find any reference to it. I was sure there
was some mention of it on gnu.org.
Are these concerns still valid and what are peoples thoughts on hosting
code with Googles new software project hosting service?
Thanks

Hi guys
It's interesting that Apple has dropped the 'Trusted Platform Module'.
http://www.boingboing.net/2006/11/01/apple_drops_trusted_.html
I think this might be a pretty big deal. It was a little unexpected for
me, as I thought Apple and Intel had formed a close partnership. Intel,
AFAIK, are pushing TPM.
Regards
Shane
