RE: [kGen] Call for speakers: Kendra convergence workshop 22/10...

Hi Paola (and All),

Sounds cool. I'd be very interested in looking at how we are going to bring 
Kendra into existence in terms of one of the topics you suggest. For 
example, one of the aims of Kendra is to allow a content consumers to have 
one convenient interface/application to all of this global content space. 
That's what they want so let's give it to them and let them pay!

But does giving consumers their one interface make DRM difficult? Perhaps 
there needs to be a standard API for DRM to interface to consumer content 
applications. So that, no matter what application the consumer uses and no 
matter what DRM the content owner uses everything will still talk to each 
other seamlessly. How do we achieve that?

We are looking for presentations that outline where we are now and what the 
current problems are, and where we want to get to (the Kendra system) and 
what solutions we need to put in place for it to happen. The solutions may 
look more at business practise than technology - so keep that imagination 
flowing...

Could you do something on DRM along those lines?

I would prefer to keep all discussion on list. Please see the guidelines
http://www.kendra.org.uk/lists.php#guidelines
for my reasons. If you want to keep things confidential then best not to 
say them at all. ;-)

It's going to be a good one! ;-)

Cheers Daniel
