GPL Videos ...

by Marc Hughes

Last night after going to the B several of us ended up in the parking lot chatting about a variety of things including classic video game emulation, microsoft bashing, and creating a WLUG series of videos. Last night, it seemed like a great idea to make some kind of linux based show and distribute those videos for free (over the internet, possible on VCD as well). There were several ideas, including a social commentary (ala "geeks in space" http://www.thesync.com/geeks/) a tech-help show answering emails (http://www.techtv.com/callforhelp/) and instructional videos (just think of that comercial for the windows videos... "Just like a VCR, pop the cd into the computer, hit play, and learn"). Personally, I like the last idea best since it really can provide value for the community (as opposed to providing entertainment). We had also thought that a shorter 15-minute style video would be a great way to start. Personally, I'm in favor of "What is linux, and why is it good for you". So I guess the questions are, do people think this is still a good idea (as opposed to an idea made after consuming too much beer). Would people be willing to help? What resources can people donate to a project like this? -Marc This might be usefull: Cinelerra (New version of Broadcast 2000): http://heroinewarrior.com/cinelerra_081202.php3

1.4-rc1 has stage{1,2,3} builds for i{3,5,6}86, built with athlon/p4/p3 optimizations. they also have sparc/ppc/alpha stages{1,2,3} pre-made too once you have a working stage3 installation, you're done 'installing' gentoo. of course if you want more than a bare system you're gonna install more stuff, but stage3 is as far as you're gonna get from gentoo ... everything after that is up to you -mike ----- Original Message ----- From: "Keller, Tim" <Tim.Keller(a)stratus.com> To: <wlug(a)mail.wlug.org> Sent: Wednesday, September 18, 2002 11:20 Subject: RE: [Wlug] REMINDER: Meeting Wed 18-sept-2002 7:00 PM > I thought this was supposed to be a one night install fest...

Hi Sorry about the delay responding. The UMass mail server filled up last night and nobody seemed to be around to do anything about it. :-) / :-( > Doug, would you like to volunteer to bring your laptop? Will do. [It is just 400MHz but that just makes the grade for VLC :-) ] No DVD drive (just CDrom) so it would probably have to be the client. > We'll need a hub and some cables to build a network. I can bring "some cables". I shall also bring a hub [not a switch and it's only 10BaseT, but then too, so is my ethernet card :-( ] The URL says 6-9 or 3-4 mbits/s so we should just slip in under the wire. > in case doug can't make the meeting, Weren't you paying attention above?! :-) doug "let me pull your plug" waud
