We are on a mission to provide access to open tools, knowledge, and opportunities that empower and enable media makers.

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 the following ways

• Contribute towards open source tools for radio stations, podcasters, videomakers, musicians, and others who produce.
• 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 programs

Your support enables us to contribute towards the following open source projects and programs:

• OpenProducer platform - OpenProducer is an open set of tools that enable and empower musicians, media makers, broadcasters, publishers and others who produce.
• AMTV Digital Network - The AMTV Digital Network strives to help people everywhere learn, create, communicate, produce, monetize, share, teach, touch, entertain, educate, empower and affect lives through the use of music, video, the arts and emerging digital technologies.
