I am writing on behalf of The Pachamama Alliance, a not-for-profit located in San Francisco, CA. We work with indigenous people in the rainforest of Ecuador to provide training and resources that enable them to protect their territory -- a pristine section of biodiverse rainforest habitat -- from unwanted development. At their request, we have also created a program of public education here in the Northern hemisphere, to raise awareness of the root causes of development and exploitation of natural areas and indigenous peoples. We are holding a fairly large gathering of our volunteers from Australia, North America and the U.K. at Mills College in Oakland, CA on June 15 through 17. Of about 360 volunteers in our organization, perhaps 100 or so are able to attend this gathering in person. We wish to be able to include those who cannot come in the unfolding events at the gathering as it's happening, through the use of video clips, photos, and blog linked to our website. The ability to post questions and receive answers at the website is desired. Podcasting is another option we would like to explore. Real time streaming is not necessary; we only want to make things available within a short time after they happen. The idea is to include the entire community of volunteers, geographical distances notwithstanding. We have sources for the video content and so on, but are looking for someone who can take the content and make it available in the ways we envision. I'm sure there are many people in this community who are more than capable of making this happen with us. We would love to hear from you. Please contact me if you are interested.
