Re: [playogg-discuss] Hardware that supports Ogg Vorbis

[Aaron S. Hawley]

Folks should volunteer with FSF.  There's no reason not to contribute
to the campaigns against Microsoft and Apple and still promote
unencumbered media formats.  Obviously, knowledgeable people are
needed to offer specific alternatives in these discussions.

An easy thing to do is probably to update the xiph.org Wiki.  There's
a lot of good historical information on Ogg hardware, it just needs an
update.  If the FSF gets back to these campaigns in the future, it
will likely be relying on that Wiki for the campaign.
