Hello, i feel very sorry for late reply, we was in deep Indian country-side without Internet connection, then travelling around Asia but too exhausted to do any extra activities on Internet.

Thank you so much for your enthousiasm, we are really grateful. Here is the second part: http://garbure.org/~mammique/TYC.en.html http://garbure.org/~mammique/TYC.fr.html > If you are ever in the San Francisco Bay Area, I would love to interview > you > briefly about your film.

We are a team of three people, actually splitted between India, Thailand and Korea (me), but there is a good chance we will all be together in France in few months, with our PD-170 camera which is actually still in India for shooting, so we can shoot ourselves. The Janadesh movement which is our real topic should end in november: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janadesh_2007 I think our team can really match your project because we are all of us quite different and complementary: I am involved in arts and free software, you can see my outdated resume here: http://mammique.net/ It is enough so figure out my character. I am not a real Cinelerra developper but i used to hack a little, my main work is PowerPC port, but i know some developper in person because of festivals i organised or was invited. I am not using it often but regulary since Broadcast 2000. Then there is Sebastien who was my dormitory roomate 13 years ago, we have separate activities for about 10 years, humanitarian for him and free software and arts for me. But we have allways been close and kept in touch about our activies. He followed me in some free software meetings before, including the active Cinelerra scene in Slovenia. And i also looked closely to his humanitarian activities, but this is the first time we can link it and work together. We are both French. Then Aey from Thailand, she is newbie in free software but have homogenous experience in any levels (using, bug reports, learning, communication, philosophy, etc.). Here is her homepage: http://pachinee.homeunix.org/ My next project is to build an Internet platform proposing a more profitable and stable sytem for Open Content creators (software, art, documentation, etc.) to get paid than donation/charity. So Aey will be my main collaborator for this project, it can match your targeted topic i guess. > I am now downloading the high res version of the 7 minute short, and I > would > like to ask your permission to include it the Internet Archive's Digital > Tipping Point Video Collection.

We just give us a chance for our video to get some royalties using usual broadcasting network (TV channels) so we restrict it at the beginning, but after a while it will be BY-SA/GFDL, don't worry, before your deadline, just rememeber me if i forgget. > Also, we welcome any input from anyone on this list for creating the > Digital > Tipping Point film.
