A market-speak summary of the Xiph.Org Foundation might read something like: "Xiph.Org is a collection of open source, multimedia related projects. The most aggressive Xiph.Org effort, the Ogg project, works to put the foundation standards of Internet audio into the public domain, where all Internet standards belong." ...and that last bit is where the passion comes in.
Xiph.Org is about open source and the ideals for which free software stands. Open source is not a fad any more than the Internet is. It is a necessary force driving innovation and the Internet forward while protecting the interests of individuals, artists, developers and consumers.
We're about bringing open source and open source ideals to multimedia...and media on the Internet needs us.
