Interview with Nicholas Reville About Miro and Open Media, by Sean Daly (Groklaw)

[Posted February 8, 2008 by ris]

Sean Daly talks with Nicholas Reville about Miro and open media, on Groklaw. "Nicholas Reville: Miro is software that you download into your computer that turns it into something like a TV for the Internet. It's free; it's open source; it's made by a nonprofit which is the organization that I work for. And the idea behind Miro is to give you a comprehensive TV-like experience on your computer. And we're trying to do that not just because we want to have a great experience for our users, which we do, but also because we've built the software in a very open, very democratic, very accessible way. The goal is to open up video online, to not have the same kind of gatekeepers and restrictions that creators face in traditional broadcasting, to not have those as television moves online."
