Today, Hub was pointing to this blog entry. As I understand, it basically means that soon, people will be able to read Ogg/Theora audio/video content in their Mozilla based browsers, whatever the underlying Operating System is.
In one word WOOOOOOT!
So now, could some ubercool web developer stand up and provide us with a server that would allow people to share Ogg/Theora based videos ? Because if anything else, I am fed up with having all these videos around the web, available in flash only, just because the big players don't want to distribute Ogg/Theora.
What would be really nice is to have access to the code of a so called OggTube server that I could install and host on my own machine to share content with my friends. If I really have more friends than bandwidth, I guess someone will come up with a decent infrastructure to host it for me. After all, everyone wants to sell ads these days.

I can be wrong, but I thought that blip.tv allows you to upload Ogg Theora movies. They are then played using the Cortado applet.
See http://www.redhatmagazine.com/2008/04/24/from-camera-to-website-building-an-open-source-video-streamer/.
@Dodji: the "OggTube server" is Apache, that's the beauty, you would only need enough bandwidth.
@alexander: blip.tv converts the movies to Flash, but they also keep the Theora source for direct download.
www.archive.org hosts Ogg Theora videos. LugRadio used it for the recent LRL videos.
A WordPress plugin to serve up Theora videos is Show In A Box.
http://theorasea.org is what you are looking for.
Blip.tv is really good but use cortado for all theora display which is really heavy.
Using Itheora script would be really better.
Simply want to say your article is as astounding.
The clarity for your submit is just spectacular and that i could suppose you’re a professional
