(Denver, CO) November 1, 2014 The Open Media Foundation (OMF), a Denver nonprofit working to ensure community engagement in media and transparency in government through media, is announcing a new upcoming class for Colorado municipal and local governmental entities on how they can use the Internet to stream live video of their proceedings at low or no cost.
The Colorado Municipal League and the Open Media Foundation are teaming-up to provide this FREE class. Literally at any budget, governmental bodies can expand transparency and accessibility through free tools, like those provided by YouTube and Google, enabling local governments and municipalities to stream live video, create and share documents, and more.
This free two-hour workshop will go over several free and affordable options to stream live video. The workshop will also feature a demonstration of the Open Media Project for Government, a low-cost solution to stream government sessions and create a searchable archive with time-stamped agendas for your constituents. This solution is used by the Colorado State Legislature for the Colorado Channel and at the municipal level.
Registration, and additional information about this and other classes can be found at https://www.denveropenmedia.org/classes/livestreaming-governments
The class will also be streamed live on the Internet. To register to watch the video stream of the class, email [email protected].
