[Announcements] Call for Volunteers: Citizen Journalists for Sakai Boston Conference

[Knoop, Peter]

Hi,

We are looking for volunteers to serve as "Citizen Journalists" during the upcoming Sakai Conference in Boston.  Your role would be to interview presenters whose sessions you find interesting and to produce a short video summary.  Interviews of conference attendees, such as brief demos of Sakai capabilities, overviews of an organization's migration or integration strategy, or a survey of opinions about a topic, would also be very welcome.  Our goal would be to gather such videos as quickly as possible, balanced against allowing some time to edit them for content and presentation quality, and post them for viewing during (or very shortly after) the conference.  

If you are interested in helping out, but don't have your own video equipment, the Sakai Foundation will be providing a few Flip camera (or similar) setups for use during the conference.  If you would like to help with interviewing, but don't know much about cameras and editing, or, if you are a videophile, but don't know much about interviewing, please still consider volunteering, and we will try to pair you up with someone who has a complimentary set of skills.

If you would like to volunteer to help with this effort, please get in touch with me (knoop at umich.edu).

Thanks.  See you in Boston soon...
