We at Wikinews would like board members to quickly give their response to a new YouTube project for non-profits. Broadcast Your Cause <http://youtube.com/nonprofits> Our Wikinews Video project <http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Video_2.0> would benefit highly from something like this. And the good part is it will cost the foundation or Wikinews nothing, and the first 300 agencies to sign up get a free video camera. What else is included? Your Nonprofit channel (aka Wikinews) includes: * Premium branding capabilities and increased uploading capacity * Rotation of your videos in the "Promoted Videos" areas throughout the site * The option to drive fundraising through a Google Checkout "Donate" button I guess I am asking, do we need permission to sign up?

Sounds like a great idea, but don't we need the infrastructure first? I see that it includes a video camera if we are quick enough to sign up, but we need set in stone volunteers who can do broadcasts with green screens, etc. If this has already been done, what else have I missed...?

I believe he wrote something somewhere in [[Wikinews:Broadcast]] about which type of green screen he used and other things like that (or if not I have his email address if anyone who is doing video stuff wants to ask him about the set up he used). -bawolff On 9/30/07, James Hare <james.hare(a)wikinewsie.org> wrote:
