@iasa_web @georgeblood_lp I am honored by the naming of this IASA @iasa_web award and extend my (blushing) thank you to George Blood @georgeblood_lp who deserves a special award himself. And thanks to my colleague and former co-worker Kate Murray @fileformatology for her kind words.

@smpteconnect SMPTE standards webcast: past stds VP Bruce Devlin on the SMPTE stds process, stresses the importance of the relatively new "public committee draft" (Public CD), accessible at "the halfway point," to give interested parties (incl non-SMPTE) to comment on new work.

[Carl Fleischhauer @cfle205]

@smpteconnect SMPTE standards webcast: past stds VP Bruce Devlin on various upcoming meetings (COVID makes for sched challenges), education opportunities, online classes (including the hot new topic "on-set virtual production").

[Carl Fleischhauer @cfle205]

@smpteconnect
SMPTE standards webcast: past stds VP Bruce Devlin on the emerging SMPTE Stds Knowledge Network (SKN), development to offer rich info for participants in SMPTE stds processes.

[Carl Fleischhauer @cfle205]

@smpteconnect SMPTE standards webcast: Florian Schleich on new approach: RIS, Rapid Industry Solutions, the first application for RIS is "on-set virtual productions." Media workflows are not software-defined; there is a fresh need for underlying stds to support interoperability

[Carl Fleischhauer @cfle205]

@smpteconnect SMPTE standards webcast: Florian Schleich highlights the availabilty of what are called "public drafts" of new standards; this is not as well know as SMPTE wishes, seek more readers and comments on these drafts.

[Carl Fleischhauer @cfle205]

@smpteconnect SMPTE standards webcast: Sally Hattori, stds director presents GREAT news, moves at SMPTE (board level task force) looking at making published stds free, means adjust the org's business model (compensate for lost revenue); free dissemination would mean more adoption

[Carl Fleischhauer @cfle205]

@smpteconnect SMPTE standards webcast: Sally Hattori, stds director, encourages members and interested parties to inform her and Florian Schleich about priorities and needs, members should help set the work direction.
