An Austrian group have recently launch a music video site based on Plumi. Screensessions.com is a platform for video artists and musicians to promote their work. The site includes a mix of video clips and live performances and aims to strengthen the multimedia presence of Austrian bands and musicians and support the local music community.
We’re pleased to announce a series of major updates to Plumi, the free software video sharing content management system. These updates include major enhancements to site speed and reduced server load, a new design and features such as tagging and call outs. Plumi enables you to create a sophisticated video sharing and community site out-of-the-box. In a web landscape where almost all video sharing sites keep their distribution platform under lock and key Plumi is one contribution to creating a truly democratic media.

On January 26th a series of actions initiated by the World Social Forum took place around the world. The WSF used video to document those actions and employed Plumi to distribute them online.
To date the site has collected around 50 videos from all over the globe. The videos are compiled on the wsftv.net site.
