Hi all,
The Open Media devroom will again be organised at FOSDEM 2018, and we are looking for propositions of talks and panels. FOSDEM is one of the largest (5,000+ hackers!) gatherings of Free and Open Source Software contributors in the world and happens each February in Brussels (Belgium, Europe).
This is a prime opportunity to meet other Kaltura community members, and hear talks about the future of open source media. So if you can join, drop us a line so we can meet!
This year, the Open Media devroom will take place on:
Saturday, February 3rd, 2018
About the Open Media devroom
The Open Media room will focus on all Free & Open Source media projects, including software and hardware, spanning from building audio & video applications, through standards, formats, codecs, video analytics and search to Web video, IPTV, broadcasting and radio practices and much more. If you’re interested in video, image or audio technologies, and the breadth of available open source technologies and communities for media - the Open Media room is for you!
