RE: Introducing myself

Hi all,
I'm in charge of Adobe's corporate accessibility team and have worked on captioning since my days at WGBH.  I and my team work on standards related to accessibility and work with Adobe product teams to enable adoption of and support for accessibility.   Looking forward to working with everyone...

Thanks,
AWK

Hello everybody

I work on Internet Explorer GPU rendering/hardware acceleration, <audio>, <video>, <canvas> and related accessibility. (some of you might know me from the canvas accessibility side) 

I remember the first html video captioning meeting that David and John organized two(!) years ago at Stanford - it is great to finally be at the point where we have implementations of video captioning in several browsers.

Looking forward to working with all of you.

Frank Olivier

Subject: Introducing myself

[please respond to this thread, and introduce yourselves to the group]

I work for Apple in the multimedia area, but have fairly broad responsibility for standards. I am the chair and editor of the 'file format group' at MPEG ("Mr. MP4" is apparently my nickname for some people), and I hope to be working on whether, and how, VTT can be carried inside MP4 files -- and if I can work that out, I'll try for TTML as well.

I seem to be the chair of the group.  I want to be clear that if you have a problem with me, the way the group is running, or someone else, or how things are going, TALK TO ME.  I have a pretty thick skin, and even if I don't, it's my job to take it.  Don't let things fester, speak up - preferably in direct emails.  Don't call my cellphone unless you know where I am, I travel a lot and you might wake me in the middle of the night. Then my skin can be very thin indeed.

But I promise to do all I can for to make the group as effective and enjoyable as it can be.

Let's dig in!

Welcome (and now -- follow up!)
