How Vimeo serves a three digit million audience every month
Vittorio Giovara (Vimeo) speaking at FOSDEM, earlier this year.
Video-sharing website Vimeo has good reason to celebrate its successes.

At EBU DevCon 2015, Vimeo's Vittorio Giovara will give a presentation called "Deploying Open Source software at Vimeo". It will cover Vimeo's video compression pipeline, how deployment in the cloud is handled, and what Vimeo's approach is regarding open source development.
