Valent,

Cool!

I didn't take the time to do this because I wanted to get it out
quickly, but I am glad the improvements were made. I have put up some
others on my fedorapeople[1] page. Maybe I should finish the ones for
seneca college and others.

Cheers,

Clint

I should also mention that I am in the process of purchasing a new
recording device. I've tested it with Fedora and it records at least
with Audacity and ices (streaming client) so I suspect it'll work with
others. Its called the Zoom H4 and has much better quality recording,
plus it can record from up to 3 different sources and mixes them for
you.

Cheers,

Clint

You just validated what we are trying to do here by having everything
openly licensed and publicly available.

If we can ever get hosting space, I'd really like to see people
collaborating to edit and process material so we can scale a process
around interest and experience. I want a process where we don't
expect individuals at events who can record video and audio to be able
to do all of their own editting or processing. They just have to
record raw material that's good enough to work with.
Then they can upload it, so our community experts in editing polish it up.

But we can't really build that sort of process without a hosting
commitment of some sort. We'll get there, but not for F10. Maybe F11.
Let's concentrate for F10 on showing that as a content channel is
worthwhile and then for F11 we can figure out how to build a
collaborative virtual production studio around it.

> Brilliant.

+ 1 - Great work

This is exactly the kind of thing we can do to improve the situation
you referenced in your other e-mail: create content and work together
to a) make it as good as possible, and b) make it as easy to access as
possible.

Heh, well I've just edited the feed so that it points to Valent's
version for the link and enclosure, while keeping the guid the same so
that it doesn't get re-downloaded by people who've already got it.

Hope this works, let me know if there are any problems with it.

Best,

Jon
