Plumi is about creating your own video portal and staying in control of your content! It is an open source video sharing platform based on Plone. It comes bundled with rich features like server side video transcoding, video embedding and sharing, fine grained user management and workflow control, site wide vodcasting, bittorrent integration, large file uploading via FTP and more.

During the first part of the workshop you will learn why initiatives as Plumi are needed and how the project started. Dimitris will also talk a about a new initiative called “mist.io: down to earth cloud computing”. The second part of the workshop will be hands-on and gets you started with installing your own copy of Plumi on your webserver.

This OpenToko workshop is the first of a series of workshops and discussions about social media monopolies and their alternatives.
