After 10 years, and hundreds of thousands of deployments in over 120 countries, Kaltura is growing strong both in capabilities, stability and users. Enabling developers to build video experiences and media workflows, and to integrate rich video experiences into existing applications, business workflows and environments. Kaltura eliminates all complexities involved in handling video at scale: ingestion, transcoding, metadata, playback, distribution, analytics, accessibility, monetization, security, search, interactivity and more. This session will provide a Community and Software 10 year summary of Kaltura, and an outlook to the roadmap of what's to come. Join me on this 10th year celebration of the open source video platform, review the contributions and people behind it, and discuss the exciting developments ahead. If you're building video workflows at scale from internal video portals through surveillance applications - this session will expose you to the swiss army knife of video applications. The only end-to-end open source platform used by hundreds of thousands of organizations globally.

Kaltura is widely used to address a wide range of education, media, and enterprise video needs. In this talk covers how Kaltura interact with open source components for an end to end scalable FOSS video platform. We also cover how the core open source Kaltura platform interacts with these components, giving best practices for your own online video projects weather using a single component or integrating with a larger platform.

In addition to contributing its core server as an open source video platform offering, Kaltura makes use of many third party FOSS projects. This session will walk attendees through major projects used by the Kaltura platform to ingest, analyze, optimize, record and play video files, and provide guidance in optimizing use

The following projects and their role in our architecture will be surveyed:

• Kaltura server -- Pulls together all the media services under a unified REST API.
• nginx-vod-module - An Kaltura developed Nginx module for On-the-fly repackaging of MP4 files to DASH, HDS, HLS, MSS
• Mediainfo - used to analyze source videos to determine how best to handle them
• FFMPEG and Mencoder - used in transcoding to optimize source videos so that they'll be best viewed by various devices; i.e: Desktops, tablets and cellphones running different OSes
• ImageMagic - used for image manipulation and thumbnail creation
• Red5 - used in order to record from webcams, and broadcast live streams.
• The Kaltura HTML5 player - used for playback in native and web environments.

The session will include a review of our video source detection and optimization processes as well as demos showing how each project is used within the platform.

We will conclude with an overview of our current community activities and focus.
