Hi everyone!
I'm looking forward to hopefully meeting many of you at Wikimania. I've
been hard at work on Popcorn Editor and will hopefully have some cool stuff
to show along with a long list of tickets and TODOs. If you're interested
at all feel free to drop me an email and I'd be happy to meet up and chat.

Hi all,
If you are at Wikimania, please say hello to Michael Nolan, cc'd. Mike is
currently interning at Mozilla and his focus is to help "white-label"
Popcorn Maker, our browser-based video editor, so others can deploy it in
their web apps. He's also a big free culture and access to knowledge
advocate on his campus.
Mike is attending Wikimedia to understand potential use cases and to
hopefully build a prototype showing how this could work on Commons.
If this sounds interesting, would encourage you to reach out:
mnolan(a)mozilla.com. Mike will be attending the hackathon and most of the
video-related conference sessions. Here is the repo where he's currently
working:
https://github.com/nolski/popcorn-editor
Some background: Popcorn Maker is something we have been working on for a
few years at Mozilla. You can try it out here:
http://popcorn.webmaker.org. We will be winding down Popcorn Maker as a
Mozilla service over the next few months, but naturally as an open source
project we are interested in seeing whether parts of Popcorn's source code
can help solve problems for others.
Believe it or not, my motivation for helping to build Popcorn Maker
stemmed from the 2010 era excitement around collaborative video editing on
Wikimedia projects. I think that as far as media sequencing, remix and
attribution goes, Popcorn is at least 80% of the way towards awesome and
should be part of experiments on Labs & conversations on how the Wikimedia
project should approach collaborative media production over the next few
years. I wrote more on the opportunity here:

Post-Wikimania, would love to organize a call so we can plan further with
interested folks.
Cheers!
Ben
