probably meets many people on the list

---------

EngageMedia <http://engagemedia.org> and the Participatory Culture
Foundation <http://pculture.org> have teamed up to launch a Southeast
Asia video subtitling project based on the Universal Subtitles
<http://universalsubtitles.org> system. We're looking for an outgoing
person based in *Malaysia* or the *Philippines* to lead the project and
bring it to life.

*The Project*
Universal Subtitles is an open source, online system that enables
collaborative translation and subtitling of video. EngageMedia will soon
be building Universal Subtitles into the EngageMedia.org site, enabling
the easy subtitling of thousands of social justice and environmental
videos. The result will be to expand access to critical stories from the
Southeast Asia region to far wider audiences.

*The Role*
The Video Lingua Coordinator will

   * Broaden public access to critical human rights and environmental
     stories from Southeast Asia, increasing inter-regional and
     international exposure;
   * Develop a Southeast Asia community of volunteer translators and
     subtitlers of citizen, human rights and environmental video content;
   * Increase the visibility and adoption of the Universal Subtitles
     platform among human rights organizations, NGOs, and independent and
     mainstream video producers;
   * Enhance the communication between video activists, campaigners and
     citizens in the region to develop shared understandings of the
     common issues they face;
   * Make it easier for television stations and websites to be able to
     run non-native language content and thus broaden the outlets for
     video activists in the region.
