Dear Opencast Community and Matterhorn users,
I'm pleased to announce the launch of a freshly re-designed Opencast
Community website, and a brand new sister site dedicated to Opencast
Matterhorn. You can visit these sites at http://opencast.org and
http://opencast.org/matterhorn (note the shortened domain name!)
The goals behind the redesign and decision to split
www.opencastproject.org into 2 sites were:
1) To make it easier for potential adopters to find information about
Matterhorn and to get their questions answered
2) To improve the usefulness of the Community site as a space for:
- Providing guidance, direction and inspiration for getting involved in
the community as an adopter or contributor
- Providing opportunities for sharing stories of adoption, integration,
successes, resources and events
- Promoting any projects supported by the Opencast community (currently,
Matterhorn is the only active project)
We hope you'll find the Community site a useful hub for exchanging
resources and insights with the community, and that the Matterhorn site
provides an engaging experience fpr potential adopters seeking
information about Matterhorn.
If you previously had an account on www.opencastproject.org, your
account may have been imported into the new site (if your account was
associated with any migrated content), but you will need to reset your
password. If you aren't sure, you might want to try the reset password
function first (http://opencast.org/user/password) before creating a new
account. Please let me know if you have any issues with this.
I want to thank my fabulous team of website reviewers, who put a lot of
time and energy poring over these sites and making improvements. There
are several more great ideas that came from this group, and I hope we'll
be able to incorporate these into the site(s) over the next several
months. Thanks goes to Hal Meeks, Andy Wasklewicz, Tobias Wunden, Brian
O'Hagan, Kristoff Keppens, Adam Hochman, Judy Stern, Chris Brooks and
Olaf Schulte. And thank you to Domenique Sillett of www.littleigoo.com
for the visual design for the Matterhorn site.
As always, feedback or suggestions are welcome and encouraged. Please
feel free to also contact me directly at [email protected].
Enjoy!
Michelle
