maybe we could organize an OpenPhoenux for Sam and his challenge? :) --- Begin forwarded message from sam --- From: sam <s...@yearofopensource.net> To: ohanda <oha...@piksel.no> Date: Thu, 26 Jul 2012 11:01:24 +0000 Subject: [OHANDA] a Year of Open Source Everything
Hi, I'm a filmmaker based in Berlin, about to start a year of trying to live as free / libre / open source as possible - not just software but also hardware, clothes, music... everything. it will be the subject of a weekly video series throughout the year, with plenty of articles and interviews along the way. The fastest way to get to grips with the idea is probably to watch the pitch video [1]. I want to use the project as a way to portray the idea and benefits of freedom, transparency and modification in the products we use, and tell my story of discovery as a way of tying all of these various different aspects together, whether legal, technical, or cultural. I think the OHANDA approach is an admirable one and something more people need to hear about, and I'd love to meet up with someone (or a few people) from the organisation to talk about its aims and processes - I'd like to film something if possible but there are other options we can discuss for the camera-shy... I think OHANDA tackles a key issue in this movement and I'd like to show what you're doing relatively early on in the project (which starts in 6 days!) but I can start by giving a summary of who you are and what you're doing, link to your site, and then a little later in the project we can do a more in-depth feature. Please let me know if anyone from OHANDA would be interested in helping out with the project in any way, if you can offer any support or advice, and if you have any links to other projects / organisations that may be relevant to my project, they would be very welcome!
