NSF Funded Programs• Invitational workshop "The NMI and
DRM“ – Grace Agnew and Mairead Martin– Endorsed by CNI, EDUCAUSE, I2, SURA,
and ViDe
• ViDeNet: Middleware for Scalable Video Services for Research and Higher Education – Jill Gemmill, Tyler Johnson, Egon
Verharen, Samir Chatterjee
• Digital Library: Moving Image Gateway– Grace Agnew, Ed Price, Jim DeRoest

Lessons Learned• Regional backing for first cookbook
provided elevated credibility and exposure• ViDeNet TestBed approach promotes
community standardized solutions very rapidly
• Members are from institutions, not institutional representatives
• Collaborate and don’t compete; maintain ViDe identity
• Collective efforts truly leveraged to achieve significant results
Video Development Initiative - Educause, 2002
Successes, failures, challenges• Successes
– Videoconferencing Cookbook– ViDeNet– Relationship with SURA– NSF Funded Research Programs
• Not so successful– RFI Process
• Challenges– LSVNP Project– Administrative support for Chair– “Organizational Vaporware?”– Funding
Video Development Initiative - Educause, 2002
How To Get Involved• Find a working group of interest
and talk to the working group chair about how to join– Working group includes: project teams
(workshops, cookbooks, ViDe.Net) and research interest groups
• ViDeNet “Munch” http://www.unc.edu/video/videnet/munch/
• Attend the 5th Annual SURA/ViDe Digital Video Workshop (Spring 2003)
