[WikiEN-l] Time 100 footage

[Jimmy Wales]

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. :)
