Open Video Conference

Ideas on how to showcase video tag & open video technology

• On-site video mashup:
  • Provide number of eyefi cameras
  • Upload & transcode video
  • Provide Ubuntu stations for people to take conference footage and mash it up
  • Do HTML 5 <video> gallery of the raw footage and edited pieces

• Video contest:
  • Kick off contest 1 month prior to OVC for best use of open video technologies
  • Feature videos in showcase at OVC
  • Announce winner at OVC or showcase as part of Firefox 3.5 launch

• Video-based brady-bunch screen:
  • Have people upload video of themselves and project on screen BB-style

• Awesome tech demo:
  • Blizzard thinks we could do an audience interaction/game during his talk, based on this stuff: http://standblog.org/blog/post/2009/04/15/Making-video-a-first-class-citizen-of-the-Web
