OpenProducer is a collective of like-minded developers, designers, producers, educators, and innovators who provide media producers and community members access to open tools, knowledge, and opportunities that empower them to create their best work.

We do this in the following ways

  • Build and run hands-on training to create community media using industry-accepted open source technologies.
  • Connect individuals and organizations with similar goals and interests to collectively support and fund open projects and programs.

Projects and initiatives

We currently contribute towards the following open source projects and initiatives:

  • AzuraCast is a self-hosted, all-in-one web radio management suite.
  • Kendraio is a nonprofit interoperability advocacy initiative whose mission is to empower individuals through the benefits that come from increased interoperability and a culture of data-sharing.
  • LibreTime is open broadcast software for scheduling and remote station management.
  • Newspack is an open-source publishing platform built on WordPress for small to medium sized news organizations.
  • Radio Station is a plugin to build and manage a Show Schedule for a radio station or internet broadcaster’s website.
