[Gnash] Report from CCC / 24C3 |

It was a nice happening, all the c-base are belong to I ;)
What concerned me was the "DNS Rebinding 'bug'" demonstrated by Dan
Kaminsky, whom I am waiting for further info on how to avoid it (and
why it works with Adobe Flash player). He has been working with Adobe
on this and I asked him about gnash, but he hadn't tried it out. Also
he was the only speaker AFAIK who *really* missed Rob's attendance.
Issue number two, the OLPC guys from Austria had no idea about what
gnash is and how the web-browser in the OLPC is built upon Gecko and
is able to run gnash.
The german "No software patent" / FLOSS propaganda-guys didn't knew
about gnash either. However I enlightened them and told them to advise
the use of it.
The weather was so terrible I couldn't wear a certain t-shirt and the
OpenBSD guys was lost in their own scope on talking about BSD-/GPL-
licensing issues rather than showing any interest in gnash (sorry
Deanna ;)).
What interested me was that approx. 40% of the participants were using
Mac/OS X. However my spare-time to fix the OS X building and
implementing the Aqua-GUI afterwards went straight to hell, because I
had to move twice within 5 days.
Well, I'm glad to be back in my own apartment and working 10-12h/day
since this monday + the extra 4 days of traveling in business a
month... Or am I? :-/ To get to the point: When things are sorted out
in the project I manage (aka the-crash-and-burn-out-project, not
kidding), I'll cut some slack (which includes hacking on gnash ofc).
After all this is a zero-sum game and Adobe is on the down hill... Let
2008 be the year we make the big breakthrough.
