Panos! Thanks a lot for sharing! The video was great from the first cut ;-)
but thanks for taking the time of refining it and sharing the tools you
used here. Very useful for other wanting to do the same!
best,

Hi Panos, all:
I really enjoyed watching this. As a non-technical DC3 member, I liked
seeing more of the "community" side of CNs, but also enjoyed seeing what
some of the network architecture actually looks like. From a communications
and external relations point of view, I think *showing* what the nodes
look like, the people that host them, the villages they help connect, etc.
is really powerful (look at how ISOC promoted the Tusheti Project in
Georgia, for instance). And what also comes to mind is how it relates to
things like funding and grants. Funders absolutely love to see tangible
outcomes of what they fund. With regards to this point, the CN community
has so much to offer.
As a suggestion for the future for anyone behind a CN, I think
interviewing people in a village where nodes exist, asking them about how
it's changed their day-to-day life, and really understanding the community
behind the CN itself could be a powerful way to promote community
networking (assuming this hasn't already been done, of course).
I really admire this community, so if there's a way I can offer any kind
of support or ideas for outreach and (external) communications, please
don't hesitate to ask.
Best,
-Michael

Dear all,
For those interested, I have just published an improved version (with
titles and subtitles) of the "video report" presented at the WSIS
workshop "Community networks: How the unconnected connect themselves":

More is coming on the more recent Sarantaporo conference and "CN
Encounter #1" between Sarantaporo.gr and NYCMesh. Only a few photos are
available at the end of the event's page:

This is awesome Panos, thanks for sharing!
My suggested "filming" strategy:
- Take a few long interviews of the main actors of an event using a
tripod
- Take short clips during the event of short
duration 20s-1min, with the
camera at hand (inform people at the beginning that you are filming and
don't hesitate to go "close" to the action)
- Overlay the interviews with related short scenes from the events that
match what is being said in the interview
Pictures are also quite useful
As for the (free) software required, after a lot
of researching I
concluded to the following (I am using ubuntu):
- kdenlive for editing:
https://kdenlive.org/en/
- aegisub for subtitles:
http://www.aegisub.org/
- handbrake for hardcoding the subtitles with the video:

Thanks for sharing!
