Schulte Olaf Andreas (ID)
Dear All
The board would like to invite institutions to join the 2024/2025 crowdfunding campaign. After conversations at the recent meeting of the German-speaking community and the technical meeting, we are looking for funding for the following projects:
- Simple statistics (mostly internal)
- Project structure, branches and changelog
- Improving integration by implementing JWT for Authentication
- Chapter Editor
- Better/modern Workflows
- Modern codecs and formats
- Improve thumbnail support
- Improve timeline previews
We will follow up shortly with a more detailed description of these topics.
If your institution is interested in funding a project, please contact me directly to talk details. If you would like to invest in 2024, there are certain topics or work packages we can probably tackle short-term; again, contact me if you’re interested.
Regards
Olaf A. Schulte

PS: Yes, the details are about to come. I can also say that “the new admin UI” will become part of the campaign, so if you’re institution is concerned with issues at https://github.com/opencast/opencast-admin-interface/issues or faces other problems with the new admin UI please consider funding related work.
