Hi everyone, I need your advice and help. Nonprofit techies from all over the world will converge in Washington, DC on April 4-6th for the NTC Conference http://nten.org/ntc. I have the opportunity to organize a Geekout session, a hands-on most of the day session where nonprofit geeks gain hands-on skills from people in the room. I've proposed a session on video blogging, internet video, and screencasting.
The only problem is this: I need experienced video bloggers in the room so that small group work can take place and questions can be answered. So, you willing to sign up and come? http://ntcvideogeekout.pbwiki.com/ If you're interested, leave your name and email in a list below. Also, tell me about your specific area of expertise -- (camera selection, editing techniques, Mac Geek, PC Geek, storytelling, scripting, finding music, hosting) I'll move this forward is there is enough folks interested in participating from the vlogging community.
