Title: George Chriss

A run-through of how CongressCamp 2009 sessions are recorded, published, and transcribed.

0:31:25 to 0:31:46( Edit History Discussion )

What [OpenMeetings.org] is: if anybody has seen or heard of MetaVid.org, they take C-SPAN footage, they strip out the C-SPAN logo and they make the entire video text–searchable according to at least government–provided sources. We're a bit different in that the transcripts don't yet exist, but that's why there's a wiki that enables that.

0:31:46 to 0:32:24( Edit History Discussion )

I'll just close by saying that if anybody does want to be taken off–the–record, either because you said something you wish you hadn't or if you are a privacy and/or anonymity advocate, I'd be happy to do so. Please do approach me [or] make a verbal note saying that "this portion of the conversation is off–record," or find a different room that doesn't have A/V gear upstairs. (Please don't touch the equipment as it is a bit sensitive.)
I will be running around frantically trying to manage all of this; the cameras are stationary, there's not a camera–person designated for every room.
