What is the OSMF Marketplace?

The Adobe Marketplace site was launched over two years ago as a central resource for finding tools, services, and innovations that supplement and extend Adobe products. The specific goal of the OSMF Marketplace is to help build a strong and vibrant community around the use of OSMF. We want to encourage developers to post their tutorials, code samples, skins, plug-ins and more. In particular we would like to encourage the creation and distribution of social media plug-ins. These will encourage sharing of videos across RSS feeds, blogs, twitter accounts, Facebook, YourTube, Vimeo and all the other places people love to look at video.

How do I sign up as a publisher on the OSMF Marketplace?

Go to the OSMF Marketplace and then click on the “Become a Publisher” button in the upper right hand corner. If you do not have an Adobe ID, you will be asked to create one before you become a publisher. Fill out the requested information. The only information that will be publically displayed on the Marketplace site will be your name, full description, and link to your web site, the other information will only be available to the administrator. Once you have filled in the required information, your request will be submitted to the site administrator. It may take two to three days for your request to be approved, you will receive an automated reply to your email when you have been approved.

Once I am an approved publisher, how do I submit an offering to the OSMF Marketplace?

Go to the OSMF Marketplace and click on the Publisher Login under Marketplace tools in the right hand navigation section. If this is your first offering, you will be taken to the manage offerings page. Fill in all of the information requested for your offering. This information is what will be presented on the Marketplace when a viewer clicks on the offering. Each offering will be evaluated by the site administrator, the offering will be accepted based on its usefulness to the OSMF Community. As with the publisher approval process, it may take two or three days for your request to be approved, you will receive an automated reply to your email when it has been approved.
