What is SOM?
Spread Open Media AKA SOM is a project in the same line as Spread Firefox, but combined with a powerful community like Mozillazine. SOM will promote Open Media formats like Xiph's (Vorbis, FLAC, Speex, Theora and XSPF) and others like SVG and ODF.
SOM is starting now and really needs help, because it will rely a lot in graphics, so please join the contest.
