Hello all,

This is an attempt to resurrect a troll on this mailing-list.

Richard Stallman has come to Paris in last February and we (PP-FR) have
filmed his conference.  We promised we would publish it under only webm
or ogg/theora format, to respect Richard's wish that we publish it only
under a free format.

It took a few weeks to one (unpaid volunteer) person to mount the film,
but as of March, none of the three persons who tried could convert it
into a free digital format. This is why we still have not published it.

While we are deeply sorry for the delay, we still intend to publish it
as soon as we will be able to convert it into webm.

Best regards,

Maxime

PS : By the way, any advice on converting tools would be very welcome.
