Have another meeting tonight
I mentioned before that I have another meeting tonight. Sorry, but I cannot make it.
Video of event / presentations
Hello all,
I think that a good idea to help spread knowledge to new drupal users would be to create videos and screen casts of drupal camp and of the presentations. These can be edited after the event, indexed and posted on the Internet.
Since many of the presentations look like they may be "howto" presentations, I think that it would be great if they can be shared with those who can't attend. Also, since there will be simultaneous presentations running if different rooms, if there is more than one you want to see which are in competing time slots, you can always watch the others later.
If anyone is interested in this idea for drupal camp in feb, then let me know. I have a video camera and experiencing cutting video. Does anyone wan't to team up with me to put this together?
-Charles
Maybe I can help
I have an HD-quality consumer video camera. Nothing fancy, but it does take nice video. I'm happy to assist by videotaping in one room if you need it. I also do a little bit of video editing... again nothing fancy. (And I'm sure my husband would say I'm not giving myself enough credit, but didn't want you to think you're getting Spielberg :P )

another teeshirt option
I checked with the place that I normally get teeshirts at and they'll do 100 teeshirts (6color back, 2 color front) for $4 per shirt.
2nd day project suggestion
There's a charity I'm involved with. We've opened a medical clinic in Haiti, have had some press, are associated with a non-profit and we have a vision for a new website legacyprojectsinternational.com (Legacy Projects International) that would be an eventbrite/meetup like site for showcasing grass-root projects/organizations, along with fund-raising tools - like donation meters, email marketing, facebook, tweet, etc.

updates
Insurance Under - $400
Planning Document - Still use the wiki but post the notes in the comments as well (for right now). Mike is working on the tabs for g.d.o
Website will work on CSS fixes - Erik will be touching up graphics (will commit), Marc will have a designer (Adam) touch up the css. Erik will choose a night and advertise it that he'll be working on it.
Budget/Sponsors - $2000 confirmed as of today (MindComet, DrupalEasy, BigCouch, RightSprocket, HarmonyLogic, Volacci). Contact Mike if you have any ideas for additional sponsors.
T-shirts - $1012 for 100 shirts (6 color single sided) from Erik's guy, will post to see about other prices
Second Day - On registration we capture 2 pieces of info, their skill level (to pair up for the second day), if they are affiliated with a non-profit or what realm they work in (hobbyist, agency, independant, etc)
Sessions - Need a beginners track and then the skies the limit, if you have an idea, post on the wiki page http://groups.drupal.org/node/29986 ?6 sessions per track? Will there be a keynote? It depends if we can get a rockstar or do we just use Dries' slides from Paris. Beginners need to be very low level and tie the first two sessions together to get them from zero up to speed. 8-9:30 we need to have the install party before hand using Acquia DAMP. Last session needs to be a big session with raffles, etc.
Name Tags - Should include what region of the state they are from. Goal is to increase the meet ups around the state. Extended lunch break to move people to geographic regions?
Hotels - Don & Marc are working on tracking down a good rate
Next Meeting: 11/10/2009 (beginning of Press/Community Outreach)
Video
Anne: That would be great! I was thinking that if the presenters who would like to be recorded could also capture a screen cast, we could cut between live shots and screen shots. I have audio recording gear (2 wireless lapel mics, 1 field recorder) and a decent camcorder and I can work to capture (video & audio) any time other than my presentation.
Depending on what topics are covered and how many others we get to record, we can decide on a schedule of who records what.
What software do you use to cut video?
Anybody else willing to help capture video?
Video
Charles: I use Pinnacle Studio 12 (something like the super deluxe version :P) I also have a wireless lav mic set-up and a tripod.
If the speakers can't capture a screen cast, we could use screen captures from their presentations. It would be relatively easy to lay those in the video.

I have a hi-8 sony handycam
I can make available.

Another SD DV Camera
I have a pro-grade panasonic DV camera and wireless mic I am willing to lend for the day. I would rather not be the operator if someone else can take the duties. The camera is only SD but i doubt we need HD for this stuff anyway.

Anne: I use FCP. I am sure we can just divide up the work and each use our own software.
If there are no screencasts, we can pull screen captures from their powerpoint, but I think a screen cast would be alot better.
I will do a screencast for my presentation. Any other presenters willing to save a screencast of their presentation while they are presenting at drupalcamp?
Does anyone know yet how many presentations will be happening concurrently?
screencasts and presentations
Charles,
I'll be happy to record a screencast of any presentations that I give. It might be a good idea to find some free software (Mac and Windows) that you would recommend to all presenters in order to capture the screencasts.
At this time, we're planning on 3 concurrent session tracks.
-mike
For Windows I recommend
For Windows I recommend CamStudio. http://camstudio.org/
I haven't found an equivalent for Mac OS X yet.
Gil Creque
Mac OS X screencasting
I recommend IshowU for MAC screencasting.
I have been using it for about a year with good results.
