[Announcements] Fwd: [Opencast Matterhorn] Opencast Community Meeting - May 25th

[Mara Hancock]

Dear Sakai Colleagues --

The Opencast Matterhorn project is heading into the final lap for its  
1.0 release. We are holding an Opencast community meeting (via Adobe  
Connect) next week to share a live demo of our 0.8 release, highlight  
our strategic goals for the coming year, and get feedback from the  
larger community. We would like to invite you to attend this meeting  
if you are interested in lecture capture. You can find the agenda and  
meeting details below. If you can't make it live, we will record it  
for later viewing at your convenience.

Best, Mara
