Mission Statement

The Opencast community is a collaboration of individuals, higher education institutions and organizations working together to explore, develop, define and document best practices and technologies for management of audiovisual content in academia. Through the mailing list, website and collaboration among its members, the community will strive to offer guidance and information to help others choose the best approach for the delivery and usage of rich media online.

The Opencast community also supports community-driven projects to solve common issues in management of academic audiovisual content. These projects will include open source software development, such as Matterhorn, and research focused projects. The Opencast Community will support these projects through feedback and participation in project-related activities.
