OpenCast Project

I’ve been knee deep in a project that we (UNL) have engaged in regarding publishing. It is probably one of the coolest projects that I’ve been a part of since I’ve been at the U. The OpenCast Project is a collaboration amoung many various institutions around the world. The initial groups involved were Berkeley and ETH Zurich, both of which have heavy local investments in media processing at their institutions. We are hitting the ground running and are excited about the upcoming events.  Tim and I head to Berkeley next week to engage with the community and break down the various tasks at hand. We will also been forging the resource needs of the project, priorities set forth, etc.

I’ve also begun conversation on our campus to understand better the various needs of the colleges, schools, and programs that will be potential users of the the system. At this time the representation is small, though I feel through a series of meetings we can garner needs.
