Introducing the Open Source Media Framework with Jodie O’Rourke

The idea behind OSMF is to reduce the complexity involved in developing
media players (particularly video players), and in doing so, lower the
barriers-to-entry to allow many more developers to create unique and
engaging players. OSMF aggregates fixes for many of the problems that
other developers have toiled over, meaning you can build rapidly, safe in
knowledge that your output will be stable. As a business, the
standardisation of player development means that new developers should be
able to join your team with relative ease, and become productive in less
time.

Jodie will introduce the main features of the latest OSMF build and
demonstrate some examples with code.
