Presentation: Multimedia and Podcasting With Plone (Nate Aune). Mini-presentation/Lightning-talk: Python/Zope/Plone-oriented to be determined.

With the growing demand for rich multimedia content such as podcasts and video, it's becoming more important to provide a way to author and deliver this content on your website. Plone out-of-the-box does not handle multimedia content very effectively, but with the addition of the PloneMultimedia package, you can add audio, video and photos to your site and generate podcasts to more efficiently distribute this content to your audience.

This talk discusses the following:

  • features that the PloneMultimedia package provides (MP3 metadata, built-in Flash player)
  • success stories (EngageMedia.org, video.vol.at , MediaCoop)
  • challenges of handling large media files (uploading and storage)
  • syndication of multimedia content as a podcast feed
  • community-oriented features (commenting, rating and tagging multimedia content)
  • extensive use of Zope 3 component architecture (marker interfaces designate a normal File as an audio or video file and decorate it with additional properties)
  • roadmap for PloneMultimedia (storing video on external servers, streaming, transcoding, playlists, etc.)
