ETA on SF stuff? I’m still the only one up it looks like.
-
Ryan Markel
It’s about 75% encoded and the beginning of publishing I had queued up for after the OC video was up, which would place it about mid-next week.
I can push some of it earlier if you would like – is there a particular video or videos you’d like up first?

Matt
The blog has been pretty dead.

Ryan Markel
I can take care of that problem.

WC Boston recap drafted and going out tomorrow morning.

Matt
Please add talk from Dublin:

Ryan Markel
I’ve got it drafted, but the Vimeo embed doesn’t seem to be working correctly. I’ll be checking it out tomorrow.
-
Ryan Markel
I’m VideoPressing this one right now and it will be up today and in the featured block.

There’s a lot of stuff in the incoming directory, it should probably be trimmed.
MP, I’m uploading six videos, 4 mini-interviews, 1 b-roll, 1 blooper. Video is from the new D3S.
Could you collate them into one video as a high priority (probably ending with Ryan’s comment
)? Feel free to mix up or remove some questions/answers. Jane’s going to do a wrap-up post tomorrow and it’d be good to have this as part of the blog post.Also let me know if you have any videography tips for future things I shoot.
When it’s all done it should go on the http://wpdotorg.wordpress.com/ blog.

Ryan Markel
I’ll finish cleaning out incoming tomorrow; just need to make sure I have all the Kyoto video sorted properly.
-
Ryan Markel
The D3S video looks super-good, btw.

Updated the tagline of this P2.

Michael Pick
Haha – a worthy addition

*looks up*
*half-sigh + nod*
Yeah, we are.

How would you guys feel about a WP.tv redesign?
-
Michael Pick
I think I can safely say that we would feel just splendid
We discussed some thoughts on where things might be improved from a usability point of view with Jane a while back, and we’ve been getting lots of thoughtful user feedback lately – would be great to put some of that into action. Awesome, in fact.
Also – I think this would be a great opportunity to integrate a new look for video content presentation with a new look (and some functional goodies) for the site. I’m planning on putting together a shiny new template system to streamline and polish up the look and usefulness of the videos – would be awesome to have a site-content symbiosis/identity system.
Ok, end ramble, but yes indeed – this is music to my ears

Jane Wells
I would love it. We started working on a proposal for it a while back with a bunch of ideas (phased in high/medium/low priority) that would take very little work to tidy up and use as a starting point for discussion.
-
Michael Pick
Absolutely – I think paring down and shaping up the three phases into a design brief sounds like the way forward. Maybe we can arrange another chat after the meet-up? I’m good whenever works for you
-
Ryan Markel
I’m good with that idea.
-
-
-
Ryan Markel
I say, “How can I help?”
Very exciting.
-
Michael Pick
Rocks doesn’t it? Maybe if you get chance could you compile some of that recent end-user blow-by-blow feedback we were talking about? Hopefully we’ll all pick things up where we left off to narrow down what’s new, see if anything’s changed, and get things streamlined and ready to brief
-
Ryan Markel
I’m going to go through the email archive to find some of the more direct stuff; yes.
-
Michael Pick
Should have known you’d already be on it

My thoughts are we should probably leave WordPress.tv as going with WordCamp videos and announcements and stuff, but shift the educational screencasts to something new that’s like a combination of a WP.com handbook + videos, going back to our original intention of educating people Kathy Sierra-style. I want a narrative, a beginning, middle, and end.
Longer term WP.tv should be revisited directly.
-
Michael Pick
Stoked about this – lots of food for thought in our chat. Very happy about the refocus towards the head first-esque user centric narrative arc approach i’ve been banging on about. This has great repercussions for how the videos can integrate and be used alongside text and images in the same style, voice and feel.

I would like you guys to post a featured video to the @wordpress Twitter account three times a week, say Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Let me know if you need the login details there. (This is a public P2.)
-
Ryan Markel
Sounds great. I’ll drop an email about it.
-
Michael Pick
Cool, sounds good!

Idea: Someone at WordCamp Birmingham said that WordPress is just like an iPhone, whatever you can imagine “there’s a plugin for that.” Could we turn this into a spoof video?
-
Michael Pick
Sure
Might be a nice way to showcase a few top plugins alongside the spoof/humor aspect. Like it.-
Heather
More interest in a “there’s a plugin for that” video.
-
Michael Pick
Wow, we have a meme on our hands
Will perhaps give this a crack early next week then

I would like to see a video for adding your WordPress blog to your Facebook through their notes feature.
-
Ryan Markel
Head start–basic steps to accomplish this (for scripting):
Log in to Facebook.
In the top navigation, go to Settings > Account Settings.
Find the entry for Notes and click on the application title/icon to the left.
On the screen that follows, there’s a sidebar labeled Notes Settings. It should say underneath “You are not importing notes from an external blog.” Click on the “Import a blog” link underneath that text.
Enter the URL of the blog you want to import to the Notes feature into the blank provided and check the checkbox underneath telling Facebook that you’re being a good boy or girl by importing only your own, inoffensive, legal blog. (You need only enter the URL; Facebook will automatically detect the RSS feed location.
Click “Start Importing”. You’ll be taken to a preview of what the imported content will look like.
Scroll down to the bottom of the preview, and if you’re happy with what you just saw, click the button labeled “Confirm Import”.
All done!-

Lists don’t show up in comments like they do in posts in P2?
-
Michael Pick
Re: lists – when I checked the source I couldn’t see any ULs, OLs, Lis, etc. Maybe they’re stripped in comments?
-
-
Michael Pick
Thanks, Ryan – much appreciated
-
-
Michael Pick
Sure, will add to this to the list. Also, will look into whether you can fake an account/name these days – my Facebook account is long since deactivated.

Hmmm, some Jungian synchronicity going on in here? [removed]

Ha. The universe is conspiring to give me new and wondrous production avenues to wander

Grabbing them now.
There are a handful of posts from early in WPTV that are SlideShare embeds instead of videos – any objections if I dump those while I’m back there?
Matt 1:52 pm on July 8, 2010 Permalink |
No but let’s link to Slideshare where possible.
