[VBbuilders] Videobridge Workshop Outcomes

[Thompson, Steve]

Hello Franz et All

Yes exhaustion has almost left me. I came home exhausted and then ran an event that exhausted me again
 I have added a little to the outcomes page
I would add to the United Kingdom (Countries) page but I'm not sure if it exists to edited
does it need to be created?

Dear all,

Greetings from Vienna!

Hope all of you who shared this wonderful time in Vienna have not only
returned home safely but been able to cope with the pile of work that
definitely have accmulated during your absence from workplace and home.
Everyone should have received their travel refund by now and hopefully
brought home some inspiration from Vienna.

It was a great time that we had together - and after some exhaustion, rest
and overload maybe its time to resume communication now. I must admit that
still things are not quite back to normal here, and I greatly appreciate
help with managing our communication.

Nevertheless here are some news:

1.

First thing is an attempt to summarize the outcomes of the Grundtvig
Workshop - also as a base of reporting to national agencies and other
public reporting:

****************************************************************************************
http://www.dorfwiki.org/wiki.cgi?VideoBridge/GrundtvigWorkshop/Outcomes
****************************************************************************************

feel free to write your comments! (per mail, or on the wiki)

(We are still far away from writing the final report, so inputs would be
appreciated)

Also it is important to show how we all spread the word. Please look at
the page

http://www.dorfwiki.org/wiki.cgi?VideoBridge/GrundtvigWorkshop/Coverage

and add what you know of who talked and wrote about our workshop in public!

Thanks Markus and Yora for being such a good role model.

2.

I was also  trying to start filling parts of the diary that were somehow
missing and hope that you might all provide additional points, views and
perspectives. Try to remember as soon as the memory is fresh and you have
the papers at hand and pitch in!

in particular it would be important to look at the reflection that we had
on tuesday the 26th:

http://www.dorfwiki.org/wiki.cgi?VideoBridge/GrundtvigWorkshop/Diary/26-1-2010

I tried to show that we are really at the beginning of figuring out the
meaning of VideoBridging!

3.

Next: we will get a virtual conference room for regular meetings that we
can stream and record - please stay tuned. I forwarded some technical
issues about the scopia desktop client to Werner Strasser and we hope to
get an answer soon.

Its interesting to have real life experience like John Rogers gave in the
NING

4.

What currently is needed most:

* declaring yourself as contact point for people who might be interested
in VideoBridging in your country - and editing your country pages in the
Wiki with all that is going on :

2 are already edited

http://www.dorfwiki.org/wiki.cgi?VideoBridge/Greece   - Thank you Marina!
http://www.dorfwiki.org/wiki.cgi?VideoBridge/Lithuania - Thank you Julija!

The rest you will reach from here:

http://www.dorfwiki.org/wiki.cgi?VideoBridge/CountryPages

lets get going and become European!

5.

What would be nice to have is:

* A person that really, really keeps the NING working and reports back and
forth.  For example John Rogers posted a question in the NING, but nobody
even knew of it.

* Groups of common practise and special interest established in the NING

6.

Helge is collecting Film and Foto Material shot by Tara, Ernst Gruber and
others; and we are seeking to find a way to collectively tag the raw
material to hopefully produce a DVD / workshop video. I did some soul
searching with Helge on this in the last days how we would define and use
such a DVD / video, and we came up with the idea of a double helix of on
one side report about the Vienna event and on the other side make some
central visual statements about videobridging.

It would be good to have all the selected raw material in small format for
online viewing and tagging. I wonder how Matz is doing with his plans to
put stuff online.

Maybe we should make a list of who has which footage.

(Wikipage to be created)

7.

So here we go. Concluding I would say the top priority is now to start
your own national projects, to share them whenever possible and to report
on them first in the country pages and secondly in the NING.

I hope we hear from each other soon.

Franz
