- We are looking for a video streaming/recording/storing/sharing expert/architect to build our own video platform. We are seeking a solution that would allow for YouTube and our platform simultaneous streaming, recording, storing, and video sharing of our meetings that normally occur on Jitsi. At this moment, we plan to setup one or more virtual machines on our ProxmoxVE from which those meetings will be conducted. The video moderator will login in that machine and facilitate video services. For our platform streaming, we think of AVideo, but other suggestions should be considered. Open source is a hard requirement. Jitsi also features video-streaming, but it doesn't feature any storage/sharing solution. Previously, we also thought about OBS Studio; however, it is not clear whether it is needed for streaming. We will award the hourly contract to the candidate who is most qualified to suggest and plan for the architecture or composition of software. The challenges to be resolved are (1) where the streaming, recording, sharing shall work, (2) how it shall be provisioned, etc. After setting up the solution, we plan to work with the selected freelancer on periodic reviews and consultations.
Target audiences
User permissions
- With regard to Opplet roles:
- Any NetAnyone shall be able to view and search for videos while using the public interface.
- Any CertUser shall be able to comment on videos.
- Any CertAssociate shall be able to upload videos.
- Any CertFellow shall be able to administer the Tube.
Problems to be solved
When you visit tube.friendsofcnm.org, you are getting to the site of our future services called CNM Tube. With regard to technology, it resembles YouTube since the software is very similar with the one that Youtube uses. The difference is that we are responsible for UX design and content of our service. That particularly means that have the fullest control over what videos are posted and how those videos can be viewed. We can also assign categories and sequences to adapt them better to our patrons' needs.
Imagine what we together can do with CNM Tube. We can post there the CNM orientation, seminar presentations, and event previews, streamline our events, etc. Currently, just a couple of test videos are published, but the technology is ready to be used and our video-sharing service is waiting for your help. Would you like to be a part of that change?
Our team is able to implement pretty much any requirement, but someone like you should envision how this service should look like. Who should be given rights to upload the videos? Comment on them? Should we need any adds? If so, what types of those adds be? Who would edit the videos? Oversee the content? Decide whether the videos should ever retire? Who should be able to delete or flag the videos? Is the current CNM Tube's logo good? If not, what should the logo be? How intellectual property issues shall be resolved? Should we ban anyone from commenting or posting? If so, how this ban should look like? Should any metrics like visits, views, clicks, etc. be collected? If so, which ones? Who and how would used them? And ... who shall formulate new questions to be addressed?
As a member of our future CNM Tube Taskforce, you are invited to get involved. And, by the way, you are invited to suggest a change of that tentative name for this body too.
