Mick,<br>This looks fantastic! At m-cult we are still tracking open video, and plan to organize wikipedia- and popcorn-related workshops later this Spring. Wish I could attend - did visit Stubnitz already in 1994 in St.Petersburg : ) <br>
<br>Will share this with colleagues. <br><br>best Minna<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Mar 19, 2013 at 3:17 PM, Mick Fuzz <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mick@flossmanuals.net" target="_blank">mick@flossmanuals.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<div><span>Hello!<br>
<br>
We are looking to get tech and trainers in the same room to
experiment, have a laugh and create a course in FLOSS Manuals in
London. The location is great, the Stubnitz ship. <br>
<br>
The mission is to test / improve / explode the 'A Look at Open
Video' course.<br>

Get in touch with me if you, or someone you know may be
interested.<br>
</span><span><span>It
would be fantastic to get some FM writers on board. <br>

<div><span>The
workshop / course sprint facilitated by Mick Fuzz from FLOSS
Manuals is part of the international Open Video series launched
with the Open Video Forum in 2012. The current version of the
course, created at a Berlin sprint last year, is part of the
School of Open, a collaboration between Creative Commons and
P2P University.</span></div>

<div><span>Our goal
is to produce an introductory course for </span><span><b>open
video</b></span><span> in the
areas of end-user technologies (viewing, encoding, editing,
subtitling etc) and developer tools (transcoding, web
applications, developing for mobile devices). </span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span>This
course will be published as an OER (open educational resource).
It will promoted specifically as part of the Mokolo project
supporting film and developer networks in Africa, for example
the recent Open Video Sudan event.</span></div>

<div><span>We are
looking for people swimming in the sea of </span><span>free
software / </span><span>open
source tools, open video frameworks and creating innovative
learning. Desirable skills include one or more of the
following:</span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span>*
Knowledge of open video for end user technologies or software
development</span></div>
<div><span>* Writing
skills in the area of </span><span>open </span><span>educational
resources</span></div>
<div><span>*
Experience </span><span>in</span><span>
delivering workshops</span></div>

<div><span>If you
are getting this email then we think this sounds like you.
Would you be interested in attending? Please get back to us if
you think you may be able to attend and we will inform you
about the process and logistics of this course sprint.</span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span><b>What's
in it for You:</b></span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span>* We'll
cover accommodation, meals, and have a small budget to include
travel expenses (so lets us know if you need support asap, we'll
see what we can do)</span></div>
<div><span>* We can
offer small contributor stipends, depending on how long you can
stay</span></div>
<div><span>* You get to
be part of an ongoing effort to bring more people (especially
from newer netcultures) into free soft</span><span>w</span><span>are / open
source debates around visual media via the creation of open
educational resources (courses will be translated)</span></div>
<div><span>* You
will leave with a set of resources to deliver workshops on open
video and lots of new subject knowledge</span></div>
<div><span>* P2p
education is perhaps the most significant change in the way
(higher) education is organized - let's make it work</span></div>

<div><span><b>Background
Info:</b></span></div>
<div><span>A </span><span><b>course
sprint</b></span><span> is a
way of rapidly creating and testing teaching resources. It is
based on the work of Adam Hyde on Book Sprints and is one of
FLOSS Manuals tools of rapid, collaborative content creation.
Course sprints are a space for participants to learn from each
other, find synergies in our knowledge, and in the process,
create innovative online learning resources. </span></div>

<div><span>We will
use the Book Type software to immediately print materials from
our online workspace at the end of the sprint. </span></div>
