Hope you are doing good now Chris. Finding How-To videos and presentation shouldn't be a problem, but we should be more focusing on how do we get the promo videos made for Fedora. Coming with a creative concept, story board, script, finding the right tools and expertise to make it happen!! :)
2008/8/12 Christos Bacharakis <cmpahar@gmail.com>2008/8/10 Naresh KN <nareshlx@fedoraproject.org>I agree. I foresee this to be a great way to promote Fedora to the mass. Lets give a heads up to this initiative. How do we kick start? Any thoughts??

the fence would not be a bad thing as long as its done right. There
are video production experts over there, and they do have mad skillz.
As long as we are willing to accept that to make a video like that we
aren't going to be dog-fooding our our video tools. If this is
something 'we' want I'm sure there are ways of approaching the video
gurus inside the Red Hat fence line.
If they were going to take on such a task at the behest of our
community marketing group, I would ideally like to see some sort of
partnership evolve such that community produced material was
incorporated but gave the video experts a lot of creative control on
how to use the material...including choice of digital tools to use.
But that's just me talking.
And I should clarify since I know people lurk on this list, I have
said in the past that I don't want the Red Hat side of the fence
leading an effort to get a Fedora community video production process
up and running. I've said that primarily because I am afraid that the
quality of the work they typically do is orders of magnitude above
what we can do with in-distro tools and having them jump in early and
gifting us with very nice, well produced videos for us to use would
taint the discussion concerning our own toolset. Banging our
collective heads on creating screencasts and interviews using the
in-distro tools is an important part of a community push to move this
toolspace forward and I didn't want to see that short-circuited by
setting the bar on video quality for the community too high with a set
of initial video drop. But we have a process in place now, and it
could be time to think about how we deal with the need for high
production quality videos meant for re-use as marketing pieces that we
know we don't have the toolset to build in-distro...yet.

Sorry for being late to answer, I had some health problems. I suggest to try finding as many videos about fedora (promoting videos, presentation videos, how-to videos) and post them at the wiki under the following address http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/videos . Although I don't know if we have to host them in fedoraproject or we can simply post the link (for example from youtube) to the wiki. Waiting for feedback.
