[FM Discuss] Booki nominated for Transmediale Open Web Award

[John Curwood]

You're right, what we need is someone who can devote a fair bit of time
to this, unfortunately I'm in the middle of School Holidays, so my spare
time is pretty much zilch for the next week and a half.

Do we have much video available of participants at Book Sprints? I think
dynamic footage of people working in a book-sprint environment is the
best way to open a create an impression in 10 seconds.

cheers,

John
