It was a busy 3 days attending the XML Media Lab in Melbourne “DIY TV”: Video, UGC, Mobile and IP TV content and services conference on the Friday and workshopping the Videodefunct (VD) project in the Lab over the weekend. I have taken a number of notes from the conference keynote speakers which I plan to blog soon. Also, there is many people and links to follow up from the LAB workshop which provided a lot of feedback and ideas towards the development of further VD research. Even though the overall focus of the event was commercial, this provided yet again another valuable perspective on VD. The commercial players and invited broadcasters are really aware of developments occurring around online video and how to articulate cleary the varying specificities of each of those areas. This pushed us to work on how we communicate what we are about and where we are heading.
