Description

It never hurts to put a face to a cause, so I'd like to put together a video that talks about OpenCon, as well as Open more generally, so that people outside of our space and community can see who's involved and why.

What are we working on during the do-a-thon? What kinds of support do we need?

DONE -- I went around and talked to OpenCon attendees on camera to ask them what Open means to them.

How can others contribute?

Send a brief video (10-30 seconds) introducing yourself, and completing the statement, "Open matters to me because..." to me -- [email protected] -- through whatever means works. Dropbox, Google Drive. If you don't have a way to send me videos, email me and I'll send you a link to a Google Drive folder that you can use.

Around the 20th, I'll put everything together and edit it into a video, upload to my YouTube channel, Stacks & Facts, and share it on social media for the world to see!

This post is part of the OpenCon Do-A-Thon. Not sure what's going on? Head here.

the 20th was an ambitious due date; been out of country for the past week and also moving house as I get ready to graduate, so it's getting pushed back to December-ish. 😬

Update - 22 November 2018: I recorded with about 8 people at OpenCon & put a call out to folks on social media who weren't present to also submit recordings, although nobody submitted anything afterward.

@JosephMcArthur mentioned that I could reach out to him for some B-Roll footage, which I will do once I start editing! Will write a script and edit ASAP.
