Objective
Looking to identify the best web based solution (Drupal or third party) that would allow a content creator to upload and distribute media (video, audio, photos, ...for starters) to external sites and services.

These would vary depending on the specific needs. Could be a combo of Drupal modules, third-party solutions or both.
Upload/ingestion
- Web based service that can embed on any web page
Open learning and collaboration portal
The following project initiative seeks to follow through with the Drupal Dojo 2.0 vision by building off complimentary sites and collaborating with existing teams. A collaboration with the Open Media Project will provide a unique opportunity to craft a custom program to provide development help, training, and documentation and marketing on a regional level.

Create a more effective platform to provide free online training, mentoring, and a showcase for Drupal. This goal encompasses these needs:
- Centralized repository for learning materials (video, audio, slideshows, documentation)

- Easy to use platform for real-time online mentoring
