Enterprise VOD: Kajoo, A Joomla Frontend for Kaltura - Nuno Zimas

The aim of our session is to introduce Kajoo, a set of Joomla extensions which offer flexible interfaces to handle media assets stored on a Kaltura powered streaming server. The primary scope of Kajoo lies in the content distribution industry. As such, it largely extends Kaltura's data handling capabilities in order to address very specific needs professionals in this area are faced with. All crucial aspects of advanced video management are covered, from ingestion to broadcast, rights management and the associated sales cycle.Rather than cramming the market with yet another take on UGC, we have decided to focus on developing a tool tailored to broadcast experts. Still, the basic workflow remains intuitive and friendly enough to be used by the hobbyist producer. By seamlessly integrating the most popular CMS with the only enterprise-class open source VMS, we are attempting to bring video-on-demand to the next level. Through the sheer power of Joomla, Kajoo models the face Kaltura has been missing.In our presentation we will briefly describe the context which gave birth to the project, the development process, the current status, the challenges ahead, all backed by a real world implementation.
