Hi! Since long this Cinelerra community has been discussing the possibility to create an Openvideo Community (or linuxvideo or whatever) where users of all video related applications can share their experience across the whole video production process with any Open Source tool, where users can share their Copyleft productions, where devs can share ideas.
Part of that community already exists, thanks to Richard Spindler and his libopenvideo dev mailing list, thanks to this Cinelerra mailing list that often hosted openvideo discussions and thanks to the #openvideo IRC channel on Freenode. In the past months we discussed about setting up a dedicated website. Now, I personally think the Openvideo Conference ( http://openvideoconference.org/ ) brings a very important new element to the openvideo discussion. This conference was initially planned with a more technical focus but then changed to appeal a broader audience. So if you got the impression that the conference is mainly about video content (as I did), look more carefully and you'll discover the balance between the technical side, the license side, the content side is very much like what we want. I don't think we need many parallel openvideo entities. I'm more for joining forces in a single effort. For that reason I'm going to the conference, to explore if we can build together the openvideo community we dream. Meanwhile the need of an openvideo community is strongly felt here in Italy too. I'm happy to announce the Italian Linux Society agreed to launch a new mailing list for Italian speakers, called openvideo-it. http://lists.linux.it/listinfo/openvideo Beside offering user support and sharing the list will be a meeting point for the organization of events and a tool for building a wiki-website collaboratively. A non-international mailing list is probably too narrow for development, so we don't expect many devs will use it. Please, subscribe and spread the news to all Italian speaking Openvideomakers you know! Openciao!
