Plone Video

EngageMedia will be coordinating a 4 day video sprint at this years Plone conference. Spaces are limited so sign up now, details are below.

EngageMedia is pleased to announce a Plone Video sprint at this years Plone Conference in Budapest, Hungary. The 4 day sprint will be an opportunity for developers to collaborate on open video technologies around the Plone CMS. The sprint will take place from 31st October 2009 to 3rd November 2009, directly after the conference.

Topics and Aims
The aims for the sprint are the following

  • Increased communication and collaboration between Python, Zope and Plone developers working in the area of open video technologies.
  • Direct improvement of key video technologies and the video feature set available in the Plone CMS so as to increase uptake and improve those sites already implementing Plone video technologies.
  • Improved the ease of use, install and set up of Plumi via technical and documentation enhancements, opening it up to a
    broader set of users and contributors.
  • Increased skill set among sprint participants regarding how to implement and develop with the Plumi CMS and for video
    technologies more generally in the Plone CMS.
  • Increase the community of developers working on Plone and video and their effectiveness.

We will be working with a professional facilitator from Aspiration to help the group focus on priorities. Broadly we aim to work on the following topic areas: building a shared roadmap for video on Plone, working on key technical needs such as large file handling, transcoding and bittorrent support, improving support for FOSS video codecs, publishing and viewing content with mobile devices, bug fixing existing video related Plone collective products and improving documentation.

EngageMedia also has a very limited number of travel subsidies to offer to activists and NGO developers based on need. When you contact us, please also let us know ASAP if you want to be considered for a travel subsidy, they are running out. For more details and to sign up go here. You can also email contact@engagemedia.org for more information.

The Plone/Video Sprint is supported by the Open Society Institute
