Latest News

June 12, 2003
H.263 encoder/decoder is ready for beta test. This code has been integrated into the video tool (vic). You can download a binary distribution of this software and test it. Please send feedback to the Open Mash users and developers list.

April 10, 2003
The Internet2 Applications Development group has agreed to take-over operation of the Open Mash website. The consortium web server, CVS repository, and other data will be migrating to their location sometime during the fall 2003. For further information contact Bob Riddle at Internet2 or Larry Rowe at Berkeley.

The Mac OS X port is now complete with support for native audio and video capture. Video capture is only known to work with FireWire webcams, specifically those that use the IOXperts driver. You will need XFree86 and OroborOSX is recommended.

You can build from CVS with the Mac OS X Developer Tools which came with your copy of Mac OS X. Follow the instructions for compiling on UNIX. You may also download binaries (Jaguar) if you don't want to build from source. These binaries were built from CVS on October 20, 2002. Update: binaries for 10.1.5.

August 1, 2002
Developments completed in AY 2001-2 and plans for AY 2002-3 are described in the 2002 Project Plans note.

July 29, 2002 (revised 10/1/02)
The three grants submitted to NSF to continue the Open Mash Consortium were rejected. Consequently, the project will be significantly scaled back.

The immediate effect is that Lloyd Lim, the Project Manager and Chief Programmer, must be layed off. Lloyd will wrap-up projects he is currently working on before leaving September 1st. He has volunteered to continue some of the administrative project management tasks (e.g., maintaining the mailing lists and source forge site) for a couple of months. He will also produce one more release that incorporates all the code we have been working on in the past 6 months.

You can read the proposals and the reviews at the following pages:

February 24, 2002
The Mash 5.2 milestone release is now available. We have closed over half the bug reports in our bug tracking system. The video tool, vic, can now auto-place its windows.

September 20, 2001
A recent release of the Open Mash code is now available through the web using the Linux Cross-Reference project tools. You can browse the current source at http://www.openmash.org/lxr/.

March 12, 2001
A bug tracking system and a feature request tracking system are available for use at our Open Mash SourceForge Project.

See our News archive for older announcements.


The Open Mash Consortium was originally funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation Internet Technologies Program (Grant ANI-9907994) and by contributions from consortium members. This funding ended in spring 2003, so the development group at U.C. Berkeley has been disbanded. Future developments will depend on contributions from the Open Source community.
