Multimedia support in openSUSE has always been a bit of a patchy affair. The community wants to have a useful and usable experience on the multimedia-rich environment out ther today, from user-generated video content to video conferencing with friends and family.
Until recently, this has been difficult to offer in openSUSE. But now, there's hope! With the introduction of an approved AAC codec and an arrangement with Cisco for an H.264/AVC codec implementation, we're on the road to having much better multimedia capabilities in openSUSE.
This talk will discuss the _status quo ante_, what was done to change that, and where we're going to make openSUSE rock even more!
