About OEDN

Founded in 2007, the mission of the OCAP/EBIF Developer Network (OEDN) community is to drive awareness of and development efforts using the two primary interactive cable television open standards for middleware: OCAP (known to consumers as tru2way) and EBIF.

On this site you will have an ability to join groups focused on each of these standards, as well as groups focused on users of ITV applications, such as advertisers, programmers, content providers, gamers, etc.

As interactive television application development for cable is a (relatively) young field, the initial focus of OEDN is on sharing information and facilitating communication between those "in the know" and those who are new to interactive television development - especially academic researchers and university students. As the community grows and its needs mature, this site will support deeper collaboration.

Feel free to peruse the site, and if this is a community you have interest in, register and join your groups of interest and start to forge those relationships that will help you get your application from concept to deployment.
