If you would like Rich to go ahead and get this ready for Sugar Labs use, he has offered to do so in early July. Let me know!

We made the movie for a luncheon talk and would need to make some adjustments (and shorten it) for public viewing off Sugar Labs. I could look at doing that in early July if you're interested, after I return from the Computers and Writing Conference. Right now it includes some sound and lower-leveling on the audio that I'd want to fix first. Looking forward to playing with Sugar later this summer. > > Rich > > > > --- > Dr. Rich Rice, Associate Professor > TTU Department of English > http://richrice.com > > ________________________________________ > From: John Tierney [jtis4stx@hotmail.com] > Sent: Monday, June 15, 2009 7:33 PM > To: Rice, Rich > Subject: FW: [IAEP] Texas Tech University work with XO/Sugar > > Hi Rich, > > I had forwarded an email with the link to the Science Spectrum video: > http://media.English.TTU.edu/faculty/rice/5365/iplay.wmv > > Sugar Labs Marketing Coordinator Sean Daly was interested in trans-coding the > video to an Open Source format and was wondering if it has a Creative Commons > designation so it could be put up with other Sugar Labs videos on the > Daily Motion site: > http://www.dailymotion.com/sugarlabs > > Your guidance on this would be appreciated. > > Thanks! > John Tierney > > P.S.
