At its core, open.PBS is a developer network featuring the PBS API, developer tools and techinical resources. The developer network allows us to release our open source projects to a broader audience, both internal (stations and producers) and external (the public and partners). These projects are a combinatino of sample code, fully developed applications, and everything in-between.
Consumer level applications and the source that is used to create them are hosted within this network. Through careful release planning and nuturing of the deveoper community we will be able to build upon the great applications that PBSi has developed over the last couple of years and extend our resource pool and creativity in ways we have not imagined.
open.PBS Vision
PBS will create, promote, and support an internal (PBSi, stations and producers) and external (partners and the public) community of volunteer technologists to innovate on top of our content and services.
PBS will draw upon the sucesses, and failures of those technologists to improve our internal product development.
in turn, PBS will adapt to the dynamic environment and thrive in the app economy.
