Open Source Ecosystem

A few years ago many of the pieces needed to build a truly open source media framework did not exist. Today, there is so much great innovation in the marketplace that we knew we needed to leverage it and make it all work together.

The technical underpinnings of Kairos and the BlueWall Framework integrate other open source software packages, which means it automatically benefits from the vast sea of developers working on those other projects, such as

  • LINUX
  • FFMPEG
  • GETID3
  • ATOMIC PARSLEY
  • MySQL
  • DRUPAL
  • RUBY ON RAILS

Without open source you are at the mercy of the software provider for freedom and control; with BlueWall's open source framework you are in the driver's seat for freedom and control. Learn more about what ‘content freedom’ can mean for you

BlueWall Open Source

The BlueWall framework is the ‘open source mortar’ which allows you to build with these amazing software tools.

As an open-source project, Kairos and the BlueWall Framework benefit tremendously from the involvement of outside developers...almost requires it, in fact.

We have open sourced our framework under the GPL, so everyone gets the whole toolkit. It also has an open source license itself, which means you can further customize it as you see fit.
