> So this is currently where we stand. thoughts? This looks great - and I love the Internet Archive solution, as it supports free-as-in-freedom-ness as much as we're probably able to find right now. Another possibility brought up for evaluation was dailymotion, which also supports ogg/html5 (http://www.reelseo.com/dailymotion-support-open-video-formats/) and is based on an open source PHP framework (http://www.symfony-project.org/blog/2009/02/18/dailymotion-powered-by-symfony - though I can't find any references to whether the customizations they've introduced are also open-licensed... in the absence of being able to find this, don't think so.) The question in my mind is how, while still starting from our shared foundation of Freedom, we can make these videos as accessible and consumable by others as possible. In particular, we hope many of these videos will reach people who *aren't* already using Fedora and Free Software, so that they will *start* using Fedora and Free Software - how do we make this experience as easy and pleasant as possible for them as possible? They probably won't care about ogg/html5... they're just going to want to watch the video. (This is similar to the discussion we had earlier about using twitter alongside identi.ca - we need to make sure that we're not just preaching to the choir.) I'm hoping this question is something that students, as folks new to Fedora and probably new to open source, but veterans of social media, will be able to help us with. Also, I made a stub page for this (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Video_hosting) and linked to it from our projects section (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing#Projects). Finally, remember that we've still got our release deliverables to do[0]. ;) Folks working on feature profiles, those are your first priority, marketing-wise. (Speaking of which... I need to schedule interviews for mine.) Folks not working on feature profiles, we start work on https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/One_page_release_notes this coming Tuesday. Mm, prioritization! --Mel [0] http://poelstra.fedorapeople.org/schedules/f-13/f-13-marketing-tasks.html -- marketing mailing list marketing@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing
