Adam suggested a way to customize the logos and html for the UI, but it involves
rebuilding jar files, which seems like a lot of work just to change a jpeg.
I proposed that a "customization directory" be added to config.properties and
Adam asked me to copy that proposal to this list. See below.

Hi Adam,
Thanks for the hint. We'll do this for our demo.
This is easy, from the point of view of a developer, but it:
1. Requires the maven build environment to be installed.
2. Requires knowledge of how to rebuild a jar.
3. Requires all the source code to rebuild that jar.
4. etc.
May I suggest, if possible, that a much simpler alternative would be to have
one line in config.properties that points to an optional customization
directory where alternate logo images and index.html might be found, and if
found they are used but otherwise default to the jar resources.
So something like:
# The path to a directory containing optional custom logos and html
org.opencastproject.custom.rootdir=${org.opencastproject.storage.dir}/customize
The admin and ui services would look there first and then go to wherever
they are currently going if nothing was found.
With that all you have to do is drop in your jpeg and that's it.
