Note to the program committee: This is a package of three related submissions. The workshops / joint presentations are divided into a content project part (efforts to create and use videos) and a technical part (creating an production house, tackling hurdles, cooperating with like-minded organisations for mutual improvement of our infrastructure). These submissions only request the standard length of 30 minutes to keep it crisp and focused. It allows the audience to choose exactly what they are interested while we still provide the full overview on all aspects. The third submission roundtable is a more internal round of people already involved or willing to get involved with the works behind the scene (organising content projects or dealing with the technical details).
TL;DR: tech-oriented, tools existing, ongoing development
Building off the critical mass of Wikimania London 2014, this session will provide an overview of the current state of the various tools and efforts related to video in the Wikimedia movement. Producing video in an online community and for Wikimedia bears some special challenges. Different projects work on improving this situation, making it easier to edit, upload and re-use videos. We will present the state of these projects, provide some help, show what you can do - including actual collaborative video editing!
