Great Net Tuesday about Drupal and Non Profits tonight (check out the comprehensive as usual Mis 604 Live Blog from the event).
I'll lead with the last presentation, the genocide (with a spotlight on Darfur) prevention site, StandNow.org from Agentic that
After the jump, RCS's very own Boris introduces Drupal in his usual fun, energetic, informed by his 8 years of drupal experience, style and Karianne Blank and Scott Nelson present a Fearless City Drupal Case Study.

Fearless City Drupal Case Study

I appreciate the effort to document this event but after watching the clips and getting little from them I offer the following review and suggestions.
The audio on these clips is heinous and nearly impossible to make out the presentations. The angle/perspective is rather nauseating and overall an absolute nightmare to watch, especially with the videographer talking over top the presenter at times - blowing out the already poor audio.
Did you watch or edit these clips? pls do so next time before sharing.. tripod? external mic? these are rather simple tools that would make the production quality about 10,000% better and more importantly watchable.
Until then you're really wasting your own and other peoples time and bandwidth sharing these clips. Here's a link to a few fast and easy tips that one should have in mind when doing any video work:

Experential streaming
Dear Visitor,
Your comments are certainly valid (shaky, lousy sound etc.) but i think you missed the part about this being an experiment in live streaming via a mobile phone and these are the shaky remnants for archival purposes. Methinks Roland's endeavours were more about letting folks visit the event virtually rather than passing along true education. That being said, we'll see about better media capturing for future events ;-).
