Kaltura, the open source online video hosting provider has gone slap-appy on us with the launch of the “Kaltura Exchange”. This is, or will be a veritable playground for app developers who want to expand upon the open source solutions offered by Kaltura. Here, users will be able to customize their Kaltura video solution using free and paid apps made by developers in the community. This will help users of the platform shorten their time to market and provide them with functionality that may not have been within their reach previously. The Exchange will include plugins, skins, extensions, applications, and other solutions.
As described by Kaltura…
The Kaltura Application Exchange is a virtual marketplace for publishers, developers, integrators and web shops to “trade” in video applications related to the Kaltura open source online video platform. The Exchange is geared towards saving time and money for those looking to expand upon the core Kaltura platform for their own specific use case, and on the flip side to allow developers to publish and potentially generate revenue from their own Kaltura-related contributions.
Check out the Kaltura Exchange in beta and see that they’ve already got several applications from folks like Encoding.com, PlyMedia, Adap.tv, and many others laid out in a tabbed format displaying Latest Applications, Most Popular, and Staff Picks.
