If you want to get involved, you've come to the right place!
Web Made Movies is a software lab dedicated to transforming the way we create and experience video on the web. Its a way for filmmakers and software developers to work together to create video in an open source, participatory process. The aim of this project is to think outside the familiar player window, beyond the TV on-demand model, and envision what online video can be when it is woven into the fabric of the web.  Open web technologies like HTML5 video, svg, canvas, javascript, and Firefox make all this and more possible—not to mention applications we can’t yet imagine. But more importantly, creative people make this possible. WebMadeMovies will bring all of these elements together to advance the state of the art.


= Roadmap =
= About  =
== June-July 2010 ==
* creation of popcorn.js – Javascript library for video
** launch of a  javascript library to maniplate browser based video
** Associated resources to support development, ie IRC, Github, Lighthouse


* Software Sprint #1 - partnership with Seneca College's Centre for Development of Open Technology

** Continuing the tradition of Seneca/Mozilla partnership, the team behind the succesful porting of Processing to processing.js will begin the first HTML5 video javascript library for browser based video


* Editing of initial videos for WebMadeMovies Episode #1 – what is the open web?
= Roadmap  =
** Content for this intitial sprint will include interviews with Jonathan Zittrain, Joi Ito, interviews from ROFLCon, local motors, The Village Telco and the GrassRootsMapping project to map the Louisiana Oil Spill
* popcorn.js 0.1
** a first release is open to the community


== July-August ==
[https://wiki.mozilla.org/Drumbeat/webmademovies/roadmap Current roadmap draft is here]
* launching of webmademovies.org, a blog and demo showcase
* Premiere of Web Made Movies episode #1 at Whistler Summit
* Software Sprint #2 – FISL conference, Porto Allegre Brazil
* Web Made Movies episode #2 – What is FISL?
* popcorn.js 0.2


== August-September ==
= Get Involved!  =
* popcorn.js 0.3
* Invites to other video software hackers to join the initiative


== September October ==
Web Made Movies is an open source project. There are currently a group of software developers working on the first release of popcorn.js, as well as HTML designers create software demos. We need your help with both - the best way to get in touch:
* Software Sprint #3 – Open Video Conference, NYC
* Web Made Movies episode #2 – 24 hour film contest with OVC
* popcorn.js 0.4
* New round of students join project at Seneca College


== October-November ==
Mailing list: [[http://groups.google.ca/group/web-made-movies-working]]
* Software Sprint #4 – Lebanon
* Web Made Movies episode #4
* popcorn.js 0.5
* Software Sprint #5 – Barcelona, Drumbeat Festival


== December ==
Lighthouse: [[https://processing-js.lighthouseapp.com/projects/52212-popcornjs/overview]]
* regroup!
* continued work with Seneca CDOT on popcorn.js
* Begin development on Butter - the front end application that will allow anyoe to upload video and marry it with meta-data


== 2011 goals ==
IRC:
* popcorn.js is an active development community with quarterly releases
* Professional, amateur and student developers are contributing code
* other semantic video initiatives are using the library and interfacing with the lab (ie Link TV View Change), building their own services on top of our code
* Professional filmmakers are invited to join the lab and propose projects for the lab to tackle.  The lab is able to "deliver" results.
* A diverse collection of HTML5 demos/episodes around Open Web concepts exist as reference implementations for other filmmakers to understand the creative potential of open video
* A front end (butter) exists in Alpha that large amounts of people are using to create semantic video
* HTML5 video is perceived in both the filmmaking and software communities as not only a viable alternative to flash, but a technology that promises more
