I've also considered "Vodcasting" (Ick!) (can you tell I have some time on my hands at the moment) :) I considered a video podcast, perhaps something that came out bi-weekly at the most, maybe monthly if there was enough content. It would need to feature interviews, demos and chat, and not just a news roundup IMO, or it would become tedious pretty quickly. I would envisage a mix of The Scoble Show (interviews with one camera and generally one interviewer [off screen]), Lab Rats (two guys talking tech), and DL.TV (tech news and reviews). The interviews would be of people in the Ubuntu community - developers and so on. The logistics of this are tricky given the majority of people are all over the place (with some people in one or two locations). However.. we have UDS coming, and I'm going (if my passport arrives in time :S ). I'd happily take a video camera along and spend some time recording interviews with people (given there will be loads of people there). However I'd of course need to juggle doing interviews with the other official business of UDS (I am sponsored to be there so need to do some real work too), and of course that goes for all the interviewees also. Recording 5 interviews (for example) over the 5 days leads to a manageable one a day schedule. The results could be put out separately within the video podcast over the following 5-6 months, leading nicely up to the next release, and the next UDS :) If the schedule of vodcasts was indeed bi-weekly then every other vodcast (once per month) there would be an interview, and the _other_ one that month would be tech-chat and UWN catch up. Should be enough content there to sustain that I would imagine. Other suggestions welcome of course. Cheers, Al.
