Developers of MediaGoblin, a free distributed media publishing platform, started raising funds to complete various important milestones in the project.

The general idea behind MediaGoblin is that centralized media publishing services are less secure. prone to single point of failure, and often force unreasonable user agreements. So MediaGoblin attempts to fix it by providing means to create your own YouTube, Soundcloud, Flickr etc., all in one package.

This year developers are aiming to raise $35K to implement federation, complete and release v1.0, and implement podcasting feeds. There's a number of stretch goals that include advanced privacy options, easier deployment etc.
