Here’s yet another great demo from my colleague Jeff Potts. This time it’s an integration of Alfresco with Kaltura, the open source video management, mashup, browser-based editing, and viewing platform. This would let you use Alfresco workflow with video assets, and then publish them to Kaltura for distribution outside the organization.

(We’re using a Kaltura CDN and player here, so the full screen icon is the four arrows pointing out toward the corners, just to the right of the volume icon).

There’s a custom view in the Alfresco web client property sheet, which embeds FlowPlayer to watch videos in Alfresco spaces, as well as “publish to Kaltura” link which pushes videos from Alfresco into Kaltura for distribution, using the Kaltura API. Once videos are published to Kaltura, the custom view is updated to use the Kaltura version rather than the FlowPlayer.

The project lives here in the Kaltura community: Alfresco – Kaltura Integration

In this screencast, Jeff Potts demonstrates a quick, simple integration between Open Atrium (an open source framework for intranets and other collaborative team environments based on Drupal) and Alfresco, based on the CMIS standard.

Do you see this integration being useful in your corporate intranet? What other features would you like to see added? Let us know in the comments.
