Revive Adserver Forum Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 In October 2015, we announced that we had transferred the intellectual property rights of the open source Revive Adserver product to a new company, Revive Adserver Software and Services. As part of that announcement, we said that there were two key reasons for the change. Firstly, to hopefully ensure continuity for the project, by ensuring that the IP rights are shared by the members of the core team, and secondly, to allow the core team to explore possible ways of doing more with Revive Adserver. We are all incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved since the Revive Adserver project was formed back in 2013. (It’s hard to believe that we’re approaching our 3 year anniversary!) We’ve fixed loads of historical bugs (including security issues found by our wonderful community at HackerOne), written a lot of documentation from scratch, and added some great new features. We’re continuing to do all of those things all the time. But we also think that it would be great if we could do more. We’d love to spend more time working on Revive Adserver. Forming Revive Adserver Software and Services was our first step to exploring if we can make that happen. So, today, we’re excited to announce our first ever “Revive Adserver Community Survey”. We’d like to hear what you think about Revive Adserver. Is everything just fine as it is, and nothing needs to change? Or do you think Revive Adserver could be more than it is today? If you do – what do you think we should focus on, and how do you think we should make that a reality? It should take no more than 5 minutes or so to fill out the survey. We’d love to hear what you think. 2016 Community Survey Which version of Revive Adserver are you using?* Please select...

There’s no need to add new features or change things any faster than already happens. It’s okay. It would be good if you could add a couple of key features that I’d like to see, but I don't mind waiting a while for them to be added. Too slow! Revive Adserver has loads of missing features, and they all need to be added ASAP. If it was up to you, which key features would you like to see added or improved? Please select up to three options. Support for HTML5 banners Support for VAST2/VAST pre-roll video advertising Support for banner delivery without cookies (to comply with EU regulations) Native APIs for iOS & Android banner delivery A command line, or automated, upgrade process A new, up to date WordPress plugin Support for the updated MaxMind v2 (or other) geotargeting data files Something else What is the other key feature you would like see added or improved? How do you think the Revive Adserver team should increase the pace of development? The community should contribute more code; you should focus on developer documentation so that this can happen. The core developers need to spend more time working on Revive Adserver. To do that, you should seek out corporate sponsorship. The core developers need to spend more time working on Revive Adserver.
