THIS EVENT IS FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
The Open Source software revolution, long the province of computer
scientists and software developers (e.g., LINUX, Mozilla), now offers a
wide spectrum of free, open source tools ranging from wiki builders to
video and audio packages. Companies ranging from Ning and KickApps have
benefited from the move to flexible, modular applications. New media
producers are now the beneficiaries of an innovative movement that
offers continuously improved software – thanks to the open source
community – that can deliver lower costs and high-quality features for
web and mobile apps; video editing and distribution; audio recording,
and collaborative applications.
This session will provide a snapshot of the open source software
movement’s key features for those producing in the virtual world.
Panelists include:
• Ron Yetkutiel, Kaltura (open source video)
• Tatum Lade, Diversion Media (open source web; Ruby on Rails)
• Ted Metcalfe, Lime Bits (open source audio)
• Rony Greenberg, Funambol (open source mobile)
Panel moderated by Chris Pfaff, Chapter Chairman, PGA New Media Council
