Update: Opencast crowd funding campaign

This is an update to the Opencast 2023/2024 crowd funding campaign as presented at the 2024 summit:

• The updates to the new editor have been finished, most of them in time for Opencast 16.0.
• The life cycle management is doing overtime: With more time necessary to discuss and define both the features and the technological solution, development work has started only just now.
• Various security issues were the third larger part of the campaign; here, the focus has shifted towards a Spring update. Community (QA) manager Greg Logan is coordinating these efforts various institutions and individuals contribute to.
• Playlists have made it into both Opencast and Tobira, with the UI to manage them still pending a discussion in the Tobira project.

Thanks to all institutions involved, both for the (additional) contributions and their patience in these projects:

• University of Bern
• University of Vienna and the Academic Moodle Cooperation
• Technical University Vienna
• Osnabruck University
• University of Konstanz
• ELAN e. V.
• ETH Zürich

If your institution is in a position to make a contribution to the next funding campaign, or if you have suggestions on what project to work on, please feel free to contact the board.
