Dear All May 2nd saw a board meeting discussing the following issues:
Unconference, early June in Boston With registration opened, we're hoping to see attendants registering as well as proposing sessions for the meeting. Attendance as well as contributions to the program will influence what the focus of this meeting will be, but that's the idea behind an unconference. The board will review participation in both respects and communicate accordingly. The unconference also provides commercial vendors with an opportunity to showcase their capture solutions; parties interested should contact a member of the board. Options of videoconferencing and/or live streaming are being considered. If you are interested in these, please come forward so we can discuss details. The location has been changed to CGIS at http://g.co/maps/kctqw - even more of an incentive to come to this meeting. Jasig-Sakai Preconference Workshop, June, Atlanta There will be a preconference workshop June 10th to introduce participants to Opencast Matterhorn; in addition, there will be session on adopting Matterhorn for your institution. Plus, UCB will organize recordings of a number of conference tracks with Opencast Matterhorn. Three good reasons to join us in Atlanta. Commercial relationships The board discussed the current situation with respect to commercial affiliations and sponsorship and identified the need to structure these to provide more guidance and clarity for all parties involved. Finally, UCB will provide some legal vetting with respect to the integration of FFmpeg with (possibly) patent-encumbered encoders. See you in Boston & Atlanta!
