Re: "We are GNOME" movie
I agree. Remember I asked something like that for a conference in Greece? Well the organizers proposed that http://serlug.gr/?p=473 Every community has make a video of the group of people, where they act and the history and events they did. Personally I don't have camera to do that in Greek. I can add subtitles though to a video.

Re: "We are GNOME" movie
If somebody makes a video I'd be willing to do the subtitles or at least type them out.. not sure how to add them to the video though :) On Fri, Feb 10, 2012 at 10:48 AM, Bryen M Yunashko wrote: > On Fri, 2012-02-10 at 10:24 +0100, Olav Vitters wrote: > > I noticed the following: > > http://launch.wearemaersk.com/ > > > > It is a movie which pretty much explains the goal of a company.

Re: "We are GNOME" movie
Olav- I have been imagining the same thing! A commercial of sorts, is how I have been seeing it. I'd love to help- Christy On Fri, Feb 10, 2012 at 8:48 AM, Bryen M Yunashko wrote: > On Fri, 2012-02-10 at 10:24 +0100, Olav Vitters wrote: > > I noticed the following: > > http://launch.wearemaersk.com/ > > > > It is a movie which pretty much explains the goal of a company.

It's getting to be a problem as more and more things are going towards video and it pushes out the Deaf community as potential adopters of $opensource-project. And there is a significant amount of people with hearing loss in the world. For example in the US, it is estimated that 10% of the population has a hearing loss. That amounts to over 30-million people. Furthermore, captioning expands our reach across language barriers. With the option to select the caption in a language of your choice, we reach multiple countries with the same video. Also, the captions help increase search-engine indexing quality. Search engines can scan text (captions) for keywords, but not videos themselves. :-) I would love to see the open source community evolve its thinking to integrate captioning at all times, and not just for specific things like conferences.

"We are GNOME" movie
I noticed the following: http://launch.wearemaersk.com/ It is a movie which pretty much explains the goal of a company. It also talks about some challenges. I think it would be nice to have a movie like that to explain GNOME. And then something which is not out of date within a year. I guess it is very difficult to produce, but it would be nice to have such a video. The goal would be to show it on www.gnome.org, and we could show it during conferences. We'd need captions for conferences though. -- Regards, Olav -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
