“Ahmed Kamal, the Ubuntu cloud community liaison
interviews Greg Taylor to discuss “media-nommer” an open-source
cloud based distributed media encoding system that runs over the
Ubuntu server platform over Amazon EC2.

“Ahmed Kamal: Hi Greg, obviously I’m very interested in cloud
based technologies and scalable apps. I know you have done some
great work building a distributed media encoder cloud application
based on Ubuntu server running over the Amazon EC2 cloud. Would you
please give us some background on yourself and media-nommer?

“Greg Taylor: I am a semi-recent of graduate of Clemson
University, now working for DUO Interactive, LLC in Greenville,
South Carolina. Python has been my weapon of choice for the last
five years or so, and Linux and I have been going steady for a bit
over a decade now. My employer shares my love for open source
software, and has put me in the position to be able to maintain the
vast majority of our development stack in the open. media-nommer is
just one of a growing number of projects that we maintain
openly.”
