Opencast Community

The Opencast Community is a community of institutions, individuals, and corporations interested in open media in education. As such, it wants to stimulate discussion and collaboration between institutions to develop and enhance the use of academic video. Opencast Matterhorn is the main project under the hood of the Opencast Community. It was initiated by the founding members of the community to solve the need identified with academic institutions to run an affordable, flexible and enterprise-ready video management system.

The governance model of the Opencast Community and the Opencast Matterhorn project can be found at www.opencast.org/opencast-governance.
