Hillary,
I am writing to express concern about the DNC website. I felt it was necessary to bring your attention to the fact that users of all distributions of Linux are being excluded in being able to use the video feature of this website. The DNC chose to use a proprietary format format to deliver video streams to their audience. This, in my mind, is an atrocity not only to Linux users, but also to VOTING Democratic, and non Democratic Linux users.
Open Source software provides a viable solution to individuals as well as corporations, and should be explored by all as a solution in the difficult economic times we all face today. The market share of Linux in both desktop and server markets grows every year. It is situations such as this where websites choose to implement proprietary codecs inhibit the growth of open source to the general public. It is situations such as this that add frustration to hard working men, and women from NY, the USA, and all over the world dedicate countless hours of their time, unpaid, and some paid, to create and improve open source software.
Please take the time to let us know how you plan on helping open source software in NY, and nationwide.
Thank you.
