The world of interactive and non-traditional media creation, distribution, consumption and interaction with audio and video based media is exploding. New forms of delivery and consumption such as podcasting, video blogging and P2P along with new technologies such as IPTV and the PVR/DVR are very much driving this growth.
Notably, this is occurring from the bottom up. Due to the wide availability of broadband internet access and the ever lowering cost of the tools to create media the tables have started to turn on traditional broadcast. The many are now afforded the abilities previously only available to a few. Open source technology and standards are the keys to continuing this trend.
This summit seeks to bring together the key individuals and organizations working on open implementations of the technology that supports the current trends and those that will lead toward the future.
Overall it is hoped that by bringing these individuals and groups together on issues such as distribution and metadata standards while working together to avoid duplicity these technologies can be propelled and fulfill our common goals. Furthermore, we hope that face to face meetings will encourage collaboration, help to determine our overall future direction and ultimately create a sense of togetherness within the group.
The Open Media Developers Summit will be a one evening and one day gathering of approximately 50 people structured as follows:
Day 1:
4:00 PM - 7:00 PM:
Show and Tell - Much is happening in this realm; on a daily basis there is more news than can possibly be consumed related to the technology and uses of "open media".

The two hours will be split into 15 minute segments allowing for 8 presentations. The presenters will be selected out of the attendees in advance of the event and will be choosen so as to provide an overall snapshot of what is happening in the space.
