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.On Mon, Jul 13, 2015 at 10:10 AM, Ben Moskowitz <benrito@gmail.com> wrote: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@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-editorSome 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
