2010 was a pivotal year for OMF. With the end of the two-year, $380,000 grant from the Knight Foundation, and a struggling economy, few would’ve predicted that OMF would continue the level of growth experienced in our first 5 years. However, with new partners and clients, OMF’s reach (and budget) saw more growth in 2010 than any year before. The Open Media Project was a milestone, not only for OMF, but for community media across the globe, establishing an unprecedented set of open-source tools designed to engage community members in the operation of community media stations in ways that cut costs, democratize media access, and enable communities to sustain public access media with limited resources.
SERVICES 2010 Video Production and Web Development Services Highlights
• OMF developed more nonprofit websites than any year prior, providing small and mid-sized nonprofits with a sustainable web presence at a fraction of the cost of any comparable web develop- ment shop.

• OMF was proud to add the Colo- rado State Senate to our list of clients, broadcasting every ses- sion of the Colorado State Senate in 2010, just as we had done with the State House of Representa- tives for two years prior. In addi- tion to this work for the Colorado Legislature, OMF produced a wide range of educational, fund- raising, and outreach videos for over a dozen nonprofit clients.

• The Open Media Generation—a free, weekly after-school pro- gram for Denver Metro—won the Western Access Video Excellence award for the Youth Community Producer category in 2010 and the Hometown Video Award for Empowerment in 2010.
• 903 students participated in our training programs, with hundreds becoming certified to use studio equipment or editing software in 2010.
TOOLS 2010 Public Access Highlights
• OMF and DOM completed the Open Media Project Beta Test, funded by the Knight Founda- tion. This open-source Drupal software, which empowers com- munity members to take greater control over their local media station, was tested in 6 cities and culminated with the Internet Archive module, an innovative tool designed to automate much of the back-end work of a Public Access TV station.
• DOM hosted our first “Best of DOM” awards, honoring the top-vote getters in each theme- block. A Final Cut Pro editing system was awarded to the overall winner, Adebola Odukoya, and presented during an on-air broadcast of the award show.
• 1,125 shows were submitted and scheduled by community mem- bers to air on Denver Open Media, Comcast channels 56, 57 and 219.
