As long as community members are producing Ogg Vorbis and Ogg Theora versions of materials as a primary resource, its perfectly okay for them to replicate the same material into other formats, as long as they do so in a legal manner. For example archive.org has a transcoding service which anyone can use to transcode works, as long as the copyright license on the work allows you to. All I ask is that community members make an effort to link/pointer to the Ogg Vorbis or Ogg Theora videos when other formats are made available whenever it is reasonable to provide that additional contextual information. Without remarking on the quality of this particular podcast...or on itunes as a distribution medium. I will say that I hope that Mark here gets involved in what Jon is trying to do with our Miro channel and starts experimenting with providing Fedora user relevant content through that mechanism. Itunes maybe a reasonable tool for outreach to people who have yet taken the plunge, but we also need creative people (ie not me) working on content aimed at people who are actively running Fedora. A set of Fedora Miro channel(s), is probably the best delivery mechanism we have identified. Though we could of course pre-populate other applications like gpodder with a Fedora podcast feed if we so desired. Being the gpodder maintainer, something I'm willing to do for F10 if we feel comfortable about the quality of the content in the channel. I would like to challenge Mark to think about delivering a periodic Ogg Vorbis podcast for our Miro channel, with content that is targeted at our existing userbase. I would also humbly suggest that if he were going to take up the challenge, that he attempt to survey people on the fedora-list and possible the fedoraforum.org forums for feedback as to the sort of podcast content that would be compelling to a wide audience in our existing userbase. -jef -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list
