ScreenCast on Miro updates

The ScreenCast thread from last week continues to advance, with ScreenCast samples now available on Miro as Fedora TV. This past week, Lucas Saboya (1) and his folk have started a web form for contributors to upload entries. Jeff Spaleta [2] and others continue to work through the remainder of defining editor workflow for these submissions

FedoraLife Concept update

Discussion on the "fedoraLife" concept continues. Valent Turkovic pointed to some of the work that had been done on Diva, which is applicable here, with background [1], Valent's screencast of Diva with additional links [2], and pointed out two other projects, saya-videoeditor [3] and myvideoeditor [4]. Anybody with coding experience is encoraged to joint those projects. Rick Garcia, Project Lead from the saya videoeditor project added [5] that saya will work with a any decoding library, so that this effort need not be encumbered by patented software codecs. Discussion continues!

Student partnership program

Susmit Shannigrahi suggested [1] an idea originating on the AFEC Fedora Ambassadors meeting to begin a programme to allow students to contribute to the Fedora project [2] Grady Laksmono noted [3] that something like what was proposed is already in place at California State-Los Angeles [4] Jonathon Roberts added [5] that this general idea has come up a few times recently. Francesco Ugolini also expressed support for the idea [6] and suggested that FAmSCo might be able to help with this effort, with some planning.
