I think a 'truth happens' for Fedora coming out of the Red Hat side of the fence would not be a bad thing as long as its done right. There are video production experts over there, and they do have mad skillz. As long as we are willing to accept that to make a video like that we aren't going to be dog-fooding our our video tools. If this is something 'we' want I'm sure there are ways of approaching the video gurus inside the Red Hat fence line. If they were going to take on such a task at the behest of our community marketing group, I would ideally like to see some sort of partnership evolve such that community produced material was incorporated but gave the video experts a lot of creative control on how to use the material...including choice of digital tools to use. But that's just me talking. And I should clarify since I know people lurk on this list, I have said in the past that I don't want the Red Hat side of the fence leading an effort to get a Fedora community video production process up and running. I've said that primarily because I am afraid that the quality of the work they typically do is orders of magnitude above what we can do with in-distro tools and having them jump in early and gifting us with very nice, well produced videos for us to use would taint the discussion concerning our own toolset. Banging our collective heads on creating screencasts and interviews using the in-distro tools is an important part of a community push to move this toolspace forward and I didn't want to see that short-circuited by setting the bar on video quality for the community too high with a set of initial video drop. But we have a process in place now, and it could be time to think about how we deal with the need for high production quality videos meant for re-use as marketing pieces that we know we don't have the toolset to build in-distro...yet. -jef -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list
