==== Primary Project (NFBBBB) ====My primary project will be to collaborate with [[User:Kclascon|Kevin Lasconia]] and the community at the National Film Board to create a video player in HTML5 and JavaScript. This project will be to work alongside their current Flash-based playerplayers, which will serve as a fallback in a non-compliant browser. Complete project details can be found on our [[HTML5_Open_Video_Player|project page]] or at the NFB's [http://developer.nfb.ca/trac/web/wiki/NFBHTML5videoplayer developer spec].
==== Secondary Project (C3DL) ====
As browsers are incorporating hardware acceleration as standard, WebGL is on the horizon as a web technology. The [[Canvas3D_JS_Library|C3DL JavaScript library]] has been in development to make it easier for web applications to use WebGL. They are presently working to refactor the existing code and incorporate a [[OSD600Project-C3DLRefactoring|build system ]] as well as automated testing environment. I will contribute to this project in addition to my primary project above.
