LA Drupal Video Volunteers
At a recent meeting we asked if there would be LA Drupal members interested in helping edit down videos from our huge Drupal Camp at the Los Angeles Convention Center in 2008. We had three tracks over two days, and that video is very educational and we wish to share them with the larger Drupal community.
If you are a person who can help by accepting a unedited video from us and give back an edited version with what we need done to the video(s), then we'd like your help.
Please post your interest in volunteering by commenting below.
