I just wanted to point out that I have a lot of raw videos from the last
Boston FUDcon, and just a small selection of them were used in the video I
already produced in pitivi:

I did solicit folks to send in their own video clips for a second video, but
I didn't receive any... :(

I think one of the points of filming a video like this and getting a
cross-section of Fedora users and developers on camera is to show people
from all around the world and all different parts of the community. Some of
the feedback I got on the video linked above was, "Oh wow, I had no idea
<irc nick> was that person or how they looked before!" I think it's cool
to
introduce people to each other this way and it would be quite difficult to
do this without accepting user-submitted video contributions. I think maybe
if we try to advertise that we are accepting user-contributed videos, we
should include a tutorial with cheese and maybe a guide or link to a guide
that talks about which webcams work with Fedora and other ways of getting
your homemade videos submitted.
I can do this, I'd be happy to create a screencast on how to use
cheese. I've not tested it in F10 anyway, so it needs another look.
Cheers,
