+<h1>GUADEC is first event worldwide streamed in WebM by Flumotion and Fluendo</h1>
+
+<p>
+The Hague, July 27, 2010 â?? The GNOME Foundation is happy to announce that
+Flumotion is providing the live streaming in WebM of this yearâ??s GUADEC
+conference, July 28-30. It is the first conference worldwide that will be
+streamed in the new WebM format, based on the VP8 codec, released as open
+source by Google last May.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Flumotion, a leading company in multi-format streaming technology, and Fluendo,
+an established leading provider of multimedia software, are both committed to
+the integration of open source formats and standards in their multi-format
+software. Within 20 hours of VP8â??s release, Fluendo integrated the new codec,
+which was then included into Flumotionâ??s multi-format streaming software and
+streaming platform, only 48 hours after the release by Google.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+"The speed of the VP8 integration illustrates the benefits of multi-format
+and open source based technology", explains Julien Moutte, founder of the
+Fluendo Group, which consists of Flumotion, Fluendo and Fluendo Embedded.
+"We are proud to provide the worldâ??s first live streaming in WebM for the
+GNOMEâ??s foundation annual event", he adds.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+"We're pleased that GUADEC has the honour of being the first event to be
+streamed live in WebM", says Stormy Peters, GNOME Foundation Executive
+Director. "Allowing GNOME developers and users around the world to see
+GUADEC via WebM only months after its release shows how fast the open source
+community adopts new formats and drives technological innovation."
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Truly open formats, without patent encumbrance or license fees, are crucial
+for an open Web. Free software projects like GNOME can stand on a level
+playing field with proprietary software, and deliver full functionality for
+users on free software platforms.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The GUADEC conference is at the core of the open source movement and is the
+biggest gathering of developers of the GNOME project, a desktop environment
+and graphical user interface, used by businesses and governments worldwide.
+This yearâ??s lectures focus is on developing products based on GNOME, demand
+from public institutions for a work environment based on free and open
+source software, and attracting talent to the open source culture and the
+industry surrounding it.
