[opensuse-marketing] Interviews with speakers from oSC Future Media track
Heya folks, At the openSUSE Conference we have a 'specia' track about the effects of modern Media on our life - think about the risks of not owning your data in the cloud (and what is done against that by awesome people building Free networks and open cloud software), the benefits open source can bring (using open source technology and methods for disaster relief), and more. These things are very interesting and it is valuable to tell people about it and persuade them to visit the conference! A good way of doing that is by doing a few interviews with these speakers. You can find the list of speakers on http://bootstrapping-awesome.org/schedule/ and I have contact details of all of them. As questions, the following would suffice: - tell us about yourself - what will you talk about - How did you get involved with that and why do you care about it so much, why does it matter? - what do you have to say to the (potential) visitors of the conference, what would you say is your message? I need someone to help me with this. It is easy: all you have to do is mail these folks (I'll give you their addresses), ask them if they ware OK doing an interview, if Ok send the questions, collect the answers, maybe do a bit of back-and-forth if things are unclear, and put it all in 1 or a few articles with me. If you're up for it, you COULD do one or all of the interviews by skype or Google hangout. That is very cool - although you might want to record them to not miss anything :D Upside: you not only get to help openSUSE and do a bit of writing with someone who has some experience, but you also get to chat with these very interesting folks! Who wants to help? /Jos

I'd love to talk to Shane Coughlan, the on-the-ground humanitarian direction of his project is fascinating. Unless someone else wants to get into the hardware nitty-gritty with him, that might be interesting to devs. I'm primarily interested in the philosophy and various aspects of the project such as crowdsourcing. Many interesting people on the list, unfortunately I have limited time, exams in 2 weeks. -- IRC: helen_au helen.south@opensuse.org helensouth.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner@opensuse.org

No problem - if you 'just' interview Shane, that'd be awesome. I can get you in contact with him and you can discuss how to do it. It'd be really cool if you could somehow get it in video form but that is not needed, text is great too. Meanwhile, anyone else interested in one of the other speakers?

I have emailed him, no reply as yet - but it's the weekend. He's a great speaker but it will be text I'm afraid, I don't do well with multimedia. Unless anyone else would like to take the opportunity to do a video interview, please step up! Check out his vids on the site, he does speak effortlessly. -- IRC: helen_au helen.south@opensuse.org helensouth.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner@opensuse.org

If it's a technical issue: skype + kazam for recording it (http://software.opensuse.org/package/kazam) works quite well for me and it allows for subsequent editing (removing boring/embarrassing parts :D)

That's be cool but otherwise, one of the other speakers would be interesting too. Cheers and thanks a lot, Jos
