[FM Discuss] Booki nominated for Transmediale Open Web Award

[adam]

yeah pretty cool i rekin!

so i guess the next step is to work out how to make it palatable to
voters...I havent heard from the drumbeat or tm peoples about the voting
process so i guess oct 1 isnt going to be the start. what we need is a 1
min (2 min max) video showing what booki does. i am sure a jury can
understand booki but throwing it into the public needs another
approach...

the voter has to be convinced in about 10 secs else they dont even watch
the rest....

potential topics might be :
1. book sprints - rapid development
2. collaborative narrative development - collaborative futures
3. bi-directional text support
4. electronic books and paper books from 1 source
5. its free as in freedom 
6. its going against the flow of the publishing industry
7. social network meets publishing

i dont the most important of these themes (and possibly there are
more)...how do we get a short hard hitting video out of this?

anyone willing to help put one together quick. as i happens I am moving
house and renovating this week so I cant do much until tuesday

also, we should _definitely_ subtitle the video in as many languages as
possible once we have the video online
