[Users] Looking for help: Demo videos
Hi everyone, Last week I pitched the idea of having some demo videos (I called them "screencasts" although that's not quite accurate) ready before the 3.1 release next week. I don't have the domain knowledge to do this myself, so I need your help! What is there to do? 1. Go to http://wiki.ovirt.org/wiki/Screencasts - have a look at the features I've proposed for the first round of videos. If you really think one of them shouldn't be there, or there's a really important feature you'd like to see a demo for, please reply here and we'll discuss it. You can always add a proposed feature with the skeleton template to the Screencasts page also, but there's no guarantee we'll have a video by the time the release comes around. It would helkp me prioritise if we could gather feedback here. 2. For each feature, we should have a scenario/script for the demo, including: * Required pre-requisites and set-up (what do I need to do before I start the demo) * A step by step description of how to show the feature being demoed Right now, only two features are described, and those descriptions may need work. If you see a feature which is not yet described, and you know how to use it, please add a little script following the template. If you see a feature which is not described well enough, please update the description. 3. For each feature with a script, we need a video. I have started a page to help people record videos of their screen, for the systems I know about: http://wiki.ovirt.org/wiki/Recording_video - the videos (without sound) can, I think, be attached to the wiki page - ogv or webm format preferably, please! 4. For each video, we will need a sound-track. I'm happy to voice over some of the videos, but again, it would be nice to spread the load. We're not even here yet, though. Thanks everyone for your help! It will be greatly appreciated. Regards, Dave. -- Dave Neary Community Action and Impact Open Source and Standards Team, Red Hat Phone: +33 9 50 71 55 62
Hey everyone: I've made a screencast of creating VMs in oVirt 3.1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4gayV6dYK4 I wrote a blog post about the tools and process I used: http://blog.jebpages.com/archives/screencasting-ovirt/ Now that I have the process down (and my oVirt 3.1 rig in shape), I'll do a few more of these before the 3.1 launch.

Hi everyone,

1. Go to http://wiki.ovirt.org/wiki/Screencasts - have a look at the features I've proposed for the first round of videos. If you really think one of them shouldn't be there, or there's a really important feature you'd like to see a demo for, please reply here and we'll discuss it.

Right now, only two features are described, and those descriptions may need work.
If you see a feature which is not yet described, and you know how to use it, please add a little script following the template. If you see a feature which is not described well enough, please update the description.

Very good work Jason. :) Do you reckon inline embedded video's would be acceptable for the press release? i.e. using iframe approach, same as on your blog page Regards and best wishes, Justin Clift -- Aeolus Community Manager http://www.aeolusproject.org
