Hi all.
I've spoken further to the guy from the BBC and I have the following bits of
info you may find interesting:
* They're happy for generated content to be uploaded to Kaltura under a
CC-BY-SA license.
* They _may_ be able to provide an ultra-portable HD Flip camera to a few
people who'd agreed to film for us, if they haven't got their own cameras.
* They cannot pay any fees or travel costs.
Again, either get in contact with them via their web-form (link below) or
through me.
