= Public Roadmap w/ budget  =

note: as opposed to the public roadmap, this is in chronoligical order, rather than 18month goals first

== October ==
'''We're in active outreach'''
* Software sprints have taken place in Brazil, Lebanon and New York to advance popcorn.js and recruit talent
* The project is on the road, recruiting filmmakers into the fold
* The developer community is active online, solving problems and growing steadily
* A full term course at Seneca College is devoted to Web Made Movies
* 3 demos and episodes are circulating online

'''Budget items'''
* grant for seneca college to work on video - $50,000(?)
* travel to New York (OVC) Lebanon (event) for software sprints
* travel to Toronto and Mountain View for Mozilla business
* Front end designer to work on demos


== End of 2010 ==
'''We've laid the runway for the project, and are beginning to invite the world'''

* 6 Engaging working demos '''prove''' the advantage of open video
* Filmmakers are eager to join the lab, bringing productions in all stages: development, production and distribution, to work with the lab
* Web Made Movies has talent cued up to absorb these people and leverage their content<br> 
* Popcorn.js is at 1.0, driving forward via daily work from students and Seneca College
* To engage audiences, strong content is being produced natively by the lab to kickstart the process - a series of videos about the open web evokes our philosophy and helps our fellow travelers.

'''New budget items: '''
* Outreach travel to film festivals/conferences (IDFA, Sheffield)
* Hire full or half time "lead geek" developer who can not only write code but co-ordinate library development and manage other developers
* Front end designer hired for production of 3 more demos
* 3 $1500 commissions/contests for "web heroes" content to drive the demos
* PHP/server side developer hired to create front end tools



== 18 months == 
'''Web Made Movies is a strong brand recognized as an innovator at the intersection of film and the web - proof that openness can win in film'''

* It is a vibrant, bustling studio - picture a movie set of the 1930s, where instead of props and a camera department, you have independent filmmakers, CSS hackers, cross-media scriptwriters, Javascript wizards, PHP developers and graphic designers all collaborating on cutting edge productions.  The software and content people are working as a team.  <br>

* At least 5 high profile productions have engaged with the lab to produce world-class experiences that showcase the potential of open video.  These productions innovate not only technology, but how storytelling and narrative can evolve when woven into the web.  They showcase what the open web can deliver as a platform that flash never will. <br>

* A collection of technologies including pocorn.js exist in the wild, driving innovation in unexpected directions <br>

* Buzz. Web Made Movies productions appear at film festivals and interactive events such as Sundance, TIFF, IDFA and SXSW.  People reference Web Made Movies open video productions rather than current flash-based multimedia<br>
