Drumbeat

This weekend's Open Video Conference now wrapping up. Big success. Kudos to Ben Moskowitz and the Mozilla team. Sessions on everything from real-time coding of HTML5 video players, to Stanford and Yale law school lectures on copyright, to Karaoke Crime.
Interesting discussions now underway with big names in documentary production and public media
Question: Now that we've had successful events two years running, what should be done in the months between? What should OVA be doing? Mozilla? Stay what it is? Grow?

Speakers

The limit is 3 minutes per speaker. It's like a lightning talk, but don't feel that you have to have slides in order to make a presentation.
