FOSS Video: Activities Making and supporting open media frameworks. Designing and deploying FOSS video CMSes Transcoder system (indytube) which has reached its limit. Writing documentation! Book Sprints! FOMS 2010 Wellington, NZ
FOSS Video CMS: Challenges Finally replacing Flash players (eg JWPlayer ) for web video playback and extra functionality. eg Critical Commons needs JWPlayer to enable audio commentary playback over the top of the video clip's original audio. Leading to : HTML5 web video + multiple audio trackers + captions FOSS video transcoder middleware. Stable API / multiple web frameworks (django/plone) Admin GUI / multiple transcoder profiles. Other services should be easily pluggable (torrents/metadata extraction) FOMS 2010 Wellington, NZ
