Hi, everyone-
I agree with Rita: how can we make a list of all of the different
projects of the Comm Comm and ensure that they are supported by
everyone during the WEF. This will be good practice for any upcoming
forums as well.
And thanks to Antonio for asking for some updates:
1 - For uploading "on-demand" video. We plan to ask everyone to upload
their videos to WSFTV.net on the
wef-palestine.org
media page. Then, we
can embed the video on our site from there. It is a perfect alternative
to y&*tube, which was unfortunately used in the past for the
existing videos on the site (please accept our apologies).
2 - The streaming will be done on Free software, red5, so there will be
no ads. We will use the two WSF servers (in NY and Europe) for the red5
platform. It will be easy to take the embed code, as for all flash
players, and put it on
wsftv.net as an embedded
tag. The only benefit
to watching the streaming video directly on the
wef-palestine.org
website is that we will also have embedded chat rooms for interactivity
between participants outside of Palestine.
3 - As alternative media, we would like support in reaching out to
international journalists that can volunteer their time to helping us
publish our articles out of the office and also to upload and post any
articles and other media that is produced during the forum to
wef-palestine.org/media. As you know, the success
of the forum will in
part rest on our ability to project a unified Palestine. We hope that
you can help us do that.
Also, please subscribe to our newsletter for ideas on articles and
angles for coverage of the forum, such as field trips,
interlink/expanded, culture, etc. etc. Can this newsletter be published
through the Virtual Media Center, for example?
Proposal - Maybe we can schedule an online meeting for the WEF, Comm
Comm, and international media activists sometime before the forum. For
example. there is a press conference in Jerusalem on October 28th in
the morning of the opening day. Can we have some parallel or equivalent
activity to, as Rita said, ensure that we are all working together?
Who from our team will be in Palestine?
Yours,
-Mallory
