Amanda Congdon (rocketboom.com) was gracious enough to be our press representative at the recent Time 100 party in New York. She got a lot of footage of the guests, which was quite a group of famous people, probably at least 100 people at the party already have wikipedia articles, many with no photos or fair use photos.
As a condition of being invited, I asked that she release her footage and photos under a free license.
I do not know yet exactly how we will get this, but based on what I saw, her team was mostly just doing filming, so it will probably be raw video (I asked for the highest possible resolution, so that would be the raw tape). To get good screen caps, someone will have to take this raw footage and import it into something and do captures or whatever.
My guess is that, due to the size of it all, we will get a tape rather than a downloadable file. I am looking for someone with good experience with video to do something useful with it. :)
Please volunteer by emailing me directly. Since I will probably just have them mail a tape copy to you, you must be reliable and known to me, because I don't want to have them mail the tape to someone who vanishes. :)

I often visit Amanda's vlog, and you see it on TV and such. It'll be good to get these free photos.
Unfort. I have a capture card, but I doubt my VCR or w/e is capable (as it's PAL).

What's the current status on this? It really would be great to have this.
And otherwise to Jimbo, could this image http://www.flickr.com/photos/jimbo_wales/143261674/ be released under a free license? :) Since there are only fair use images on [[Ann Coulter]].

I wonder also, given the fact that Rocketboom has imploded this past week.

Hmm, yes. Although I read that even though Amanda left, the site will still continue. But I do hope Jimbo already has the tape.
Garion
I will try to get in touch with Amanda tomorrow to check up on it.
