Writes parkerhiggins on our blog: Hello, I'm Parker Higgins, I'm a member of [Free Culture @ NYU][1] and on the summer team at [the Participatory Culture Foundation][2]. Last week, with the help of many of my friends in both organizations, I launched two new video podcast feeds optimized for PCF's [Miro][3], the awesome open source video player and subscription manager. (RSS feeds are available of course, but the enclosures are a mix of video files and .torrent files.)
The two new channels should be of interest to readers of this blog: one is called [Free Culture TV][4], and it contains videos about free culture, or of particular relevance to members of the free culture community. There is a list of the videos on the channel's [Miro Guide page][5], and I plan on adding many more in the coming weeks. The second channel is called [Yes, We're Open! Free Movies, Music Videos and TV][6] and is meant for all sorts of openly licensed entertainment. As the name suggests, this includes everything from very short clips to feature length movies and documentaries, as long as it's been released under an open license. Again, [the Miro Guide page][7] has more information. So here comes the pitch: I want all the help I can get with these. If you know of something really great that's not on here yet, chances are I've just missed it, and I'd love to include it. You can e-mail me at parker [at] pculture [dot] org and I'll get right back to you. Currently, I don't have plans to create original content for either channel, but if anybody expressed interest in making or helping to make something, I'd be happy to explore it! Again, these channels are made for SFC and the free culture community, so if there's something you'd like to see on it, please let me know!
