Kaltura.

The meeting with Sun was mentioned less than 12 hours ago (by Erik in
"Fundraising & Networking updates"), not what I would call "all over"
foundation-l.

I'm still trying to figure out
1) what the lead paragraph of that story has to do with the rest of it, and
2) what Wikinews' criteria for newsworthiness are, especially in
relation to Wikimedia.

Regardless of why people leak, it still feels like you're being
dudded, to find out information through unofficial or even hostile
channels. It seems like something has been out of balance of late.
