LDN - Luminis Developer Network

Colleagues,

Many of our members have requested for more compelling content for their Oracle/uPortal/Liferay campus portals. Based on this need, CEAI has secured a special license agreement with the Associated Press to use Associated Press video news content and Associated Press' embedded news player. Based on the special license agreement with AP, this content is provided at no cost to all the CEAI, Luminis and JA-SIG members.

In addition to Associated Press' news content, Associated Press has also agreed to carry OSTN News' student-produced news content on their embedded news player! As you may know, OSTN News is the first collegiate news show where students report the hottest stories from around the US, UK and Canada. The stories are based on news events that are of interest to college-age students.

To provide this content through a Portal, CEAI in collaboration with University of Montana has developed a JSR-168/WSRP compliant Associate Press OSTN News Portlet/Channel. This portlet/channel is being provide to the community on an open source basis. We have successfully tested this portlet/channel against Oracle Portal and Liferay Portal. We are looking for a brave volunteer institution that would like to deploy/test this against Luminis Portal.

Attached is the WAR file which can be deployed on your portal. Please let me know if you would like to volunteer or if you have any questions/problems implementing this portlet/channel.

Thanks,
Dheeraj
