=Testing=<br />
<br />
*Avoid excessive hydraulic pressure! Make sure you have a correctly installed pressure relief valve on your hydraulic circuit. Start testing the CEB Press with a low pressure setting on the pressure relief valve.<br />
<br />
*Avoid hydraulic fluid leaks and non-motion! Check that all hydraulic connections are tightened/connected and theoretically leak-free. <br />
<br />
*Avoid premature sensor latching! Check that the sensors are mounted parallel to the magnets. Sensor should be not too close but not too far from magnets<br />
<br />
*Make sure that the middle primary magnet is passed by the end of the primary cylinder's compression motion<br />

=Overview=<br />
[[File:Liberator_bricks.JPG|right|400px|thumb|Bricks pressed on [[The Liberator]]]]<br />
The '''"Liberator" Compressed Earth Block Press''' is a machine that makes compressed earth blocks ('''CEB'''s).<br />
<br />
The [[CEB Press]] takes earth/dirt/soil and compresses it tightly to make solid blocks useful for building. Compressed earth blocks have many advantages as a building material: by making the building materials from the readily available dirt on the building site, they eliminate the need to transport bricks from elsewhere, reducing financial cost and environmental impact. Compressed earth blocks are very strong and insulate well against both heat and sound, making for very energy-efficient building (especially combined with the energy savings from not needing to transport them from offsite). Best of all, the material they use is already on-site and does not need to be purchased -- quite literally, dirt-cheap! See the wiki page on [[Compressed Earth Blocks]] and the [[:Category:CEB|CEB category]] for more details on building using CEBs.<br />
<br />
The Liberator has been fully designed and tested by the [[Open Source Ecology]] team. Because the Liberator is an open source technology, you can freely download instructions to build your own from materials you can obtain yourself, or contact ''opensourceecology[at]gmail[dot]com'' to buy a kit or a finished machine.<br />
<br />
Building a machine yourself might seem intimidating, but every step of the process is fully documented and the OSE community is available on our [http://forum.opensourceecology.org/ discussion forums] if you need help, advice, or a little hand-holding.<br />
<br />
Using the CEB Press, two people can build a 6 foot high (1.83m) round wall, 20 feet (6.1m) in diameter, 1 foot (30cm) thick, in one 8 hour day, though construction time will vary somewhat depending on preparation time, what equipment is available (tractor to prepare the ground and move the blocks where they need to go), the quality of the soil, and other factors. The bigger the block size, the faster a wall can be erected, but at the cost of heavier blocks that are more of a strain to work with. Blocks from ''The Liberator'' average 25 pounds (11.3kg).<br />

[[File:Liberator_bricks.JPG|right|400px|thumb|Bricks pressed on [[The Liberator]]]]<br />
The '''"Liberator" Compressed Earth Block Press''' is a machine that makes compressed earth blocks ('''CEB'''s).<br />
<br />
The [[CEB Press]] takes earth/dirt/soil and compresses it tightly to make solid blocks useful for building. Compressed earth blocks have many advantages as a building material: by making the building materials from the readily available dirt on the building site, they eliminate the need to transport bricks from elsewhere, reducing financial cost and environmental impact. Compressed earth blocks are very strong and insulate well against both heat and sound, making for very energy-efficient building (especially combined with the energy savings from not needing to transport them from offsite). Best of all, the material they use is already on-site and does not need to be purchased -- quite literally, dirt-cheap! See the wiki page on [[Compressed Earth Blocks]] and the [[:Category:CEB|CEB category]] for more details on building using CEBs.<br />
<br />
The Liberator has been fully designed and tested by the [[Open Source Ecology]] team. Because the Liberator is an open source technology, you can freely download instructions to build your own from materials you can obtain yourself, or contact ''opensourceecology[at]gmail[dot]com'' to buy a kit or a finished machine.<br />
<br />
Building a machine yourself might seem intimidating, but every step of the process is fully documented and the OSE community is available on our [http://forum.opensourceecology.org/ discussion forums] if you need help, advice, or a little hand-holding.<br />
<br />
Using the CEB Press, two people can build a 6 foot high (1.83m) round wall, 20 feet (6.1m) in diameter, 1 foot (30cm) thick, in one 8 hour day, though construction time will vary somewhat depending on preparation time, what equipment is available (tractor to prepare the ground and move the blocks where they need to go), the quality of the soil, and other factors. The bigger the block size, the faster a wall can be erected, but at the cost of heavier blocks that are more of a strain to work with. Blocks from ''The Liberator'' average 25 pounds (11.3kg).<br />

[[File:Liberator_bricks.JPG|right|400px|thumb|Bricks pressed on [[The Liberator]]]]<br />
The '''"Liberator" Compressed Earth Block Press''' is a machine that makes compressed earth blocks ('''CEB'''s).<br />
<br />
The [[CEB Press]] takes earth/dirt/soil and compresses it tightly to make solid blocks useful for building. Compressed earth blocks have many advantages as a building material: by making the building materials from the readily available dirt on the building site, they eliminate the need to transport bricks from elsewhere, reducing financial cost and environmental impact. Compressed earth blocks are very strong and insulate well against both heat and sound, making for very energy-efficient building (especially combined with the energy savings from not needing to transport them from offsite). Best of all, the material they use is already on-site and does not need to be purchased -- quite literally, dirt-cheap! See the wiki page on [[Compressed Earth Blocks]] and the [[:Category:CEB|CEB category]] for more details on building using CEBs.<br />
<br />
The Liberator has been fully designed and tested by the [[Open Source Ecology]] team. Because the Liberator is an open source technology, you can freely download instructions to build your own from materials you can obtain yourself, or contact ''opensourceecology[at]gmail[dot]com'' to buy a kit or a finished machine.<br />
<br />
Building a machine yourself might seem intimidating, but every step of the process is fully documented and the OSE community is available on our [http://forum.opensourceecology.org/ discussion forums] if you need help, advice, or a little hand-holding.<br />
<br />
Using the CEB Press, two people can build a 6 foot high (1.83m) round wall, 20 feet (6.1m) in diameter, 1 foot (30cm) thick, in one 8 hour day, though construction time will vary somewhat depending on preparation time, what equipment is available (tractor to prepare the ground and move the blocks where they need to go), the quality of the soil, and other factors. The bigger the block size, the faster a wall can be erected, but at the cost of heavier blocks that are more of a strain to work with. Blocks from ''The Liberator'' average 25 pounds (11.3kg).<br />

[[File:Liberator_bricks.JPG|right|400px|thumb|Bricks pressed on [[The Liberator]]]]<br />
The '''"Liberator" Compressed Earth Block Press''' is a machine that makes compressed earth blocks ('''CEB'''s).<br />
<br />
The [[CEB Press]] takes earth/dirt/soil and compresses it tightly to make solid blocks useful for building. Compressed earth blocks have many advantages as a building material: by making the building materials from the readily available dirt on the building site, they eliminate the need to transport bricks from elsewhere, reducing financial cost and environmental impact. Compressed earth blocks are very strong and insulate well against both heat and sound, making for very energy-efficient building (especially combined with the energy savings from not needing to transport them from offsite). Best of all, the material they use is already on-site and does not need to be purchased -- quite literally, dirt-cheap! See the wiki page on [[Compressed Earth Blocks]] and the [[:Category:CEB|CEB category]] for more details on building using CEBs.<br />
<br />
The Liberator has been fully designed and tested by the [[Open Source Ecology]] team. Because the Liberator is an open source technology, you can freely download instructions to build your own from materials you can obtain yourself, or contact ''opensourceecology[at]gmail[dot]com'' to buy a kit or a finished machine.<br />
<br />
Building a machine yourself might seem intimidating, but every step of the process is fully documented and the OSE community is available on our [http://forum.opensourceecology.org/ discussion forums] if you need help, advice, or a little hand-holding.<br />
<br />
Using the CEB Press, two people can build a 6 foot high (1.83m) round wall, 20 feet (6.1m) in diameter, 1 foot (30cm) thick, in one 8 hour day, though construction time will vary somewhat depending on preparation time, what equipment is available (tractor to prepare the ground and move the blocks where they need to go), the quality of the soil, and other factors. The bigger the block size, the faster a wall can be erected, but at the cost of heavier blocks that are more of a strain to work with. Blocks from ''The Liberator'' average 25 pounds (11.3kg).<br />

[[File:Liberator_bricks.JPG|right|400px|thumb|Bricks pressed on [[The Liberator]]]]<br />
The '''"Liberator" Compressed Earth Block Press''' is a machine that makes compressed earth blocks ('''CEB'''s).<br />
<br />
The [[CEB Press]] takes earth/dirt/soil and compresses it tightly to make solid blocks useful for building. Compressed earth blocks have many advantages as a building material: by making the building materials from the readily available dirt on the building site, they eliminate the need to transport bricks from elsewhere, reducing financial cost and environmental impact. Compressed earth blocks are very strong and insulate well against both heat and sound, making for very energy-efficient building (especially combined with the energy savings from not needing to transport them from offsite). Best of all, the material they use is already on-site and does not need to be purchased -- quite literally, dirt-cheap! See the wiki page on [[Compressed Earth Blocks]] and the [[:Category:CEB|CEB category]] for more details on building using CEBs.<br />
<br />
The Liberator has been fully designed and tested by the [[Open Source Ecology]] team. Because the Liberator is an open source technology, you can freely download instructions to build your own from materials you can obtain yourself, or contact ''opensourceecology[at]gmail[dot]com'' to buy a kit or a finished machine.<br />
<br />
Building a machine yourself might seem intimidating, but every step of the process is fully documented and the OSE community is available on our [http://forum.opensourceecology.org/ discussion forums] if you need help, advice, or a little hand-holding.<br />
<br />
Using the CEB Press, two people can build a 6 foot high (1.83m) round wall, 20 feet (6.1m) in diameter, 1 foot (30cm) thick, in one 8 hour day, though construction time will vary somewhat depending on preparation time, what equipment is available (tractor to prepare the ground and move the blocks where they need to go), the quality of the soil, and other factors. The bigger the block size, the faster a wall can be erected, but at the cost of heavier blocks that are more of a strain to work with. Blocks from ''The Liberator'' average 25 pounds (11.3kg).<br />

Using the CEB Press, two people can build a 6 foot high (1.83m) round wall, 20 feet (6.1m) in diameter, 1 foot (30cm) thick, in one 8 hour day, though construction time will vary somewhat depending on preparation time, what equipment is available (tractor to prepare the ground and move the blocks where they need to go), the quality of the soil, and other factors. The bigger the block size, the faster a wall can be erected, but at the cost of heavier blocks that are more of a strain to work with. Blocks from ''The Liberator'' average 25 pounds (11.3kg).<br />
<br />

*Currently the CEB is at product release status and is being actively manufactured at Factor e Farm and in Texas. The presses will be used heavily as a part of the [[Factor e Farm Infrastructure Buildout 2011]].<br />
*The CEB documentation is being actively upgraded to meet [[Fabrication_Procedure_Standards]] with the goal of serving as a reference implementation for [[GVCS]] documentation.<br />
*Eventually the [[CNC Torch Table|torch table]] will be used to automate the fabrication of the CEB machine, reducing fabrication time by an estimated 20 hours and, thus, the cost to build the machine.<br />
*The first independent replication is in process as of Sep. 2, 2011, by [[James Slade]] and Jason Smith in Texas.<br />

<hr />
<div>=Introduction=<br />
<br />
Open Source Creatives is a new network of creative minds who donate some of their time and skills to help open source initiatives grow. Currently, Open Source Creatives is in BETA testing stages. <br />
<br />
At this time, we are working with Open Source Ecology to develop a community of remote video editors who can help process accumulated video material into valuable instructionals and tutorials. The material ranges widely from LifeTrac repair, to compressed earth brick stuccoing, to unseen interview material. All of this can be valuable to people around the world, but only once it's processed through the keen eye of a video editor. Can you help us as a Remote Video Editor?<br />
<br />
Remote Video Editing is open to anyone who would like to help, from hardened video editors interested in open source, to open source enthusiasts looking to learn a new post production skill. <br />
<br />
If you are interested in becoming a Remote Video Editor, please fill out the form below and we will be in touch with you shortly.<br />

<div>=Mon Nov 26=<br />
*Called Daniel Leon of D&H tractors (remote replicator high school student). <br />
Checked on progress and inquired about interest in a video episode about them. It seems like they're planning to put the finishing touched on their LifeTrac in mid Dec and ship it out to a well known farming community in early Jan (an award winning doc was made about this farm - its the largest Urban farm in the USA). <br />
*Emailed William Neal (China CEB replicator).<br />
Asked about his experiences since last wiki post, current location (him and CEB press) and asked about any video / photo documentation he might have taken. Also asked if he would be interested in being interviewed about his OSE endeavors. <br />
*Emailed Manuel Aguilar (Guatemala replicator).<br />
Asked to update me with a more solid schedule on Lifetrac replication and general OSE endeavors. <br />
*Overlooked Marcin's Shuttleworth application, highlighting points and preparing for discussion later. <br />
*Worked on my work plan and work plan of visiting editors.<br />
<br />
=Sat Nov 24, 2012=<br />
*CEB Collaborative Production Run shoot: day 2.<br />
*Spread FF video on 'universalsubtitles.org' [http://www.universalsubtitles.org/en/videos/4qHVn4ejUOMp/info/build-yourself-tristan-copley-smith/] <br />
This resulted in video subtitle translation in English, French, German, Hungarian, Portuguese, Portugese (Brazillian), Romainian, Spanish and Turkish.<br />
<br />
=Fri Nov 23, 2012=<br />
*CEB Collaborative Production Run shoot: day 1.<br />
*Successfully sent all 'Stucco Tutorial' footage to Willem Schitemaker with graphics, font and instructions on edit.<br />
<br />
=Thu Nov 22, 2012=<br />
*THANKSGIVING BABY!<br />
<br />
=Wed Nov 21, 2012=<br />
*Re-exported Stucco Tutorial to minimize size at cost of quality / uploading to YouTube.<br />
*Noticed OSEmail promo not on YouTube channel, so uploaded this as well.<br />
*Re-visited OSEdit post in OSE forums and reviewed new posts [http://forum.opensourceecology.org/discussion/949/online-video-transfer/p1].<br />
One member, 'sandywoodson' claims to be a writer, producer, editor with 20yrs experience and is interested in volunteering time to us. Have messaged him urging to email me. Also, user 'GreenValleyFarm' suggested an open source cloud application called OwnCloud [www.owncloud.org] which can apparently allow people to 'donate' space on their servers to our cause. He said he, and probably many others, would be willing to do this to benefit OSE. Chasing him up as well.<br />
*Followed up Emily James Skype conversation with extensive email.<br />
*Followed up Focus Forward contact pressing for further details (eg. will the film remain publicly available online etc.).<br />
*Emailed Willem Schuitemaker, a potential remote edtiting collaborator, confirming his interest in editing Grahams Stucco material. Will send YouTube link / graphics when confirmed.<br />
<br />
=Tue Nov 20, 2012=<br />
*Conducted extended Skype conversation with Emily James about Vice piece. <br />
Discovered Vice are looking to make a piece of at least 15 minutes, possibly longer depending on quality of the material. This is a very decent length and will give us an opportunity to go into detail with the project. They are looking to finish the piece by late January. All costs for the production will be covered by Vice - meaning if I go to Guatemala OSE incurs no extra cost. Footage is non-exclusive to Vice, meaning OSE can still use for it's own purposes. Editorial control is shared between Emily and myself, with input from Marcin. There has however been a discrepancy between Emily and myself in regards to credits for the piece - we are discussing this in more detail on Thursday.<br />
*Completed eligibility forms sent by Focus Forward and sent back.<br />
*Researched the Keshe Foundation [http://www.keshefoundation.org/en/] after it being suggested as a potential collaborator for OSE.<br />
This foundation is run by an Iranian nuclear scientist named Mehran Tavakoli Keshe. He claims to have developed some groundbreaking technologies in the field of renewable energy. He seems eager to have his technologies adopted, but sees a corporate conspiracy preventing this. I would be interested to hear Marcin's feedback on this, as I'm pretty unable to legitimize these claims with my own knowledge. There are however many nay-sayers online who discredit his claims. Worth a look though. <br />
*Transcoded 'Stucco Tutorial' footage for upload to YouTube and send to remote editor as preliminary test.<br />
*Uploaded file to YouTube, but failed overnight (reason unknown).<br />
*Emailed all editor candidates with form asking to fill and return ASAP. I felt the wiki process was too confusing and time consuming, so sent an email form. Candidates who look good, I will post into the wiki myself.<br />
<br />
=Mon Nov 11, to Mon 19, 2012=<br />
<br />
*Filmed production of Powercube v7.0 (pre-production and production).<br />
*Filmed continuation of stucco tutorial with Graham.<br />
*Interviewed several candidates for Editor/Indexer position - Jason Howell current front runner (examples of his work [http://vimeo.com/motivepicture/madebyhands] [https://vimeo.com/17018831]).<br />
*Prepared OSEmail, blog post, media contacts, Facebook audience, Facebook group contacts (such as Zeitgeist, Post Growth Institute) and Twitter followers for FF film release.<br />
*Coordinated releases through all channels on morning of Wed 14th.<br />
*Successfully suggested video to Corey Doctorow at BoingBoing.<br />
*Successfully suggested video to Wired video executive who has forwarded to her blogger network.<br />
*Conducted Skype chat with Novaclip founder Jason Gerard DeRose.<br />
We discussed D-Media, an open source media-sharing software they have developed which could help us distribute and manage video content. This is currently running only on Linux, but OSX and Microsoft versions are in the pipeline. They need help with funding, so I suggested Marcin might mention their efforts to Shuttleworth? They are interested in collaboration, and I will contact them again in due course.<br />
*Met with Marcin to discuss past and future work.<br />
*Continued vetting Mandy.com ad response - interviewed Ian McKenzie.<br />
*Prepared footage for editing trencher video.<br />
*Completed / uploaded Trencher video for review.<br />
*Made adjustments from Marcin and Aaron / re-upload / post to Facebook / Twitter.<br />
*Continually promoting 'Build yourself' during this period - by Sunday, view count at 10,200.<br />
<br />

*Researched Pogoplug FTP alternative for video hosting [http://pogoplug.com/devices]<br />
Turns out this is a good, cheap solution, essentially turning any HDD into a server which can be browsed / downloaded online. Problem is it comes packaged with poor software which must be used to transfer data. Apparently it can be hacked with Linux software to make it better.<br />
*Posted findings on OSE Forum and awaiting replies. [http://forum.opensourceecology.org/discussion/949/online-video-transfer/p1]<br />

*Tried but unable to transfer files to separate computer on network. <br />
*Emailed Elifarley Cruz for assistance - awaiting response. <br />
'''Data Storage''' <br />

=Wed Nov 20, 2012=<br />
*Re-exported Stucco Tutorial to minimize size at cost of quality / uploading to YouTube.<br />
*Noticed OSEmail promo not on YouTube channel, so uploaded this as well.<br />
*Re-visited OSEdit post in OSE forums and reviewed new posts [http://forum.opensourceecology.org/discussion/949/online-video-transfer/p1].<br />
One member, 'sandywoodson' claims to be a writer, producer, editor with 20yrs experience and is interested in volunteering time to us. Have messaged him urging to email me. Also, user 'GreenValleyFarm' suggested an open source cloud application called OwnCloud [www.owncloud.org] which can apparently allow people to 'donate' space on their servers to our cause. He said he, and probably many others, would be willing to do this to benefit OSE. Chasing him up as well.<br />
*Followed up Emily James Skype conversation with extensive email.<br />
*Followed up Focus Forward contact pressing for further details (eg. will the film remain publicly available online etc.).<br />
*Emailed Willem Schuitemaker, a potential remote edtiting collaborator, confirming his interest in editing Grahams Stucco material. Will send YouTube link / graphics when confirmed.<br />
<br />
=Tue Nov 19, 2012=<br />
*Conducted extended Skype conversation with Emily James about Vice piece. <br />
Discovered Vice are looking to make a piece of at least 15 minutes, possibly longer depending on quality of the material. This is a very decent length and will give us an opportunity to go into detail with the project. They are looking to finish the piece by late January. All costs for the production will be covered by Vice - meaning if I go to Guatemala OSE incurs no extra cost. Footage is non-exclusive to Vice, meaning OSE can still use for it's own purposes. Editorial control is shared between Emily and myself, with input from Marcin. There has however been a discrepancy between Emily and myself in regards to credits for the piece - we are discussing this in more detail on Thursday.<br />
*Completed eligibility forms sent by Focus Forward and sent back.<br />
*Researched the Keshe Foundation [http://www.keshefoundation.org/en/] after it being suggested as a potential collaborator for OSE.<br />
This foundation is run by an Iranian nuclear scientist named Mehran Tavakoli Keshe. He claims to have developed some groundbreaking technologies in the field of renewable energy. He seems eager to have his technologies adopted, but sees a corporate conspiracy preventing this. I would be interested to hear Marcin's feedback on this, as I'm pretty unable to legitimize these claims with my own knowledge. There are however many nay-sayers online who discredit his claims. Worth a look though. <br />
*Transcoded 'Stucco Tutorial' footage for upload to YouTube and send to remote editor as preliminary test.<br />
*Uploaded file to YouTube, but failed overnight (reason unknown).<br />
*Emailed all editor candidates with form asking to fill and return ASAP. I felt the wiki process was too confusing and time consuming, so sent an email form. Candidates who look good, I will post into the wiki myself.<br />
<br />
=Mon Nov 11, to Mon 18, 2012=<br />

*Filmed production of Powercube v7.0 (pre-production and production).<br />

*Interviewed several candidates for Editor/Indexer position - Jason Howell current front runner (examples of his work [http://vimeo.com/motivepicture/madebyhands] [https://vimeo.com/17018831]).<br />
*Prepared OSEmail, blog post, media contacts, Facebook audience, Facebook group contacts (such as Zeitgeist, Post Growth Institute) and Twitter followers for FF film release.<br />
*Coordinated releases through all channels on morning of Wed 14th.<br />
*Successfully suggested video to Corey Doctorow at BoingBoing.<br />
*Successfully suggested video to Wired video executive who has forwarded to her blogger network.<br />
*Conducted Skype chat with Novaclip founder Jason Gerard DeRose.<br />
We discussed D-Media, an open source media-sharing software they have developed which could help us distribute and manage video content. This is currently running only on Linux, but OSX and Microsoft versions are in the pipeline. They need help with funding, so I suggested Marcin might mention their efforts to Shuttleworth? They are interested in collaboration, and I will contact them again in due course.<br />
*Met with Marcin to discuss past and future work.<br />
*Continued vetting Mandy.com ad response - interviewed Ian McKenzie.<br />
*Prepared footage for editing trencher video.<br />
*Completed / uploaded Trencher video for review.<br />
*Made adjustments from Marcin and Aaron / re-upload / post to Facebook / Twitter.<br />

*Re-exported Stucco Tutorial to minimize size at cost of quality / uploading to YouTube.<br />
*Noticed OSEmail promo not on YouTube channel, so uploaded this as well.<br />
*Re-visited OSEdit post in OSE forums and reviewed new posts [http://forum.opensourceecology.org/discussion/949/online-video-transfer/p1].<br />
One member, 'sandywoodson' claims to be a writer, producer, editor with 20yrs experience and is interested in volunteering time to us. Have messaged him urging to email me. Also, user 'GreenValleyFarm' suggested an open source cloud application called OwnCloud [www.owncloud.org] which can apparently allow people to 'donate' space on their servers to our cause. He said he, and probably many others, would be willing to do this to benefit OSE. Chasing him up as well.<br />
<br />
<br />
=Tue Nov 19, 2012=<br />
*Conducted extended Skype conversation with Emily James about Vice piece. <br />
Discovered Vice are looking to make a piece of at least 15 minutes, possibly longer depending on quality of the material. This is a very decent length and will give us an opportunity to go into detail with the project. They are looking to finish the piece by late January. All costs for the production will be covered by Vice - meaning if I go to Guatemala OSE incurs no extra cost. Footage is non-exclusive to Vice, meaning OSE can still use for it's own purposes. Editorial control is shared between Emily and myself, with input from Marcin. There has however been a discrepancy between Emily and myself in regards to credits for the piece - we are discussing this in more detail on Thursday.<br />
*Completed eligibility forms sent by Focus Forward and sent back.<br />
*Researched the Keshe Foundation [http://www.keshefoundation.org/en/] after it being suggested as a potential collaborator for OSE.<br />
This foundation is run by an Iranian nuclear scientist named Mehran Tavakoli Keshe. He claims to have developed some groundbreaking technologies in the field of renewable energy. He seems eager to have his technologies adopted, but sees a corporate conspiracy preventing this. I would be interested to hear Marcin's feedback on this, as I'm pretty unable to legitimize these claims with my own knowledge. There are however many nay-sayers online who discredit his claims. Worth a look though. <br />
*Transcoded 'Stucco Tutorial' footage for upload to YouTube and send to remote editor as preliminary test.<br />
*Uploaded file to YouTube, but failed overnight (reason unknown).<br />
*Emailed all editor candidates with form asking to fill and return ASAP. I felt the wiki process was too confusing and time consuming, so sent an email form. Candidates who look good, I will post into the wiki myself.<br />

*Prepared OSEmail, blog post, media contacts, Facebook audience, Facebook group contacts (such as Zeitgeist, Post Growth Institute) and Twitter followers for FF film release.<br />
*Coordinated releases through all channels on morning of Wed 14th.<br />
*Successfully suggested video to Corey Doctorow at BoingBoing.<br />
*Successfully suggested video to Wired video executive who has forwarded to her blogger network.<br />
*Conducted Skype chat with Novaclip founder Jason Gerard DeRose.<br />
We discussed D-Media, an open source media-sharing software they have developed which could help us distribute and manage video content. This is currently running only on Linux, but OSX and Microsoft versions are in the pipeline. They need help with funding, so I suggested Marcin might mention their efforts to Shuttleworth? They are interested in collaboration, and I will contact them again in due course.<br />
*Met with Marcin to discuss past and future work.<br />
*Continued vetting Mandy.com ad response - interviewed Ian McKenzie.<br />
*Prepared footage for editing trencher video.<br />

*Conducted extended Skype conversation with Emily James about Vice piece. <br />
Discovered Vice are looking to make a piece of at least 15 minutes, possibly longer depending on quality of the material. This is a very decent length and will give us an opportunity to go into detail with the project. They are looking to finish the piece by late January. All costs for the production will be covered by Vice - meaning if I go to Guatemala OSE incurs no extra cost. Footage is non-exclusive to Vice, meaning OSE can still use for it's own purposes. Editorial control is shared between Emily and myself, with input from Marcin. There has however been a discrepancy between Emily and myself in regards to credits for the piece - we are discussing this in more detail on Thursday.<br />
*Completed eligibility forms sent by Focus Forward and sent back.<br />
*Researched the Keshe Foundation [http://www.keshefoundation.org/en/] after it being suggested as a potential collaborator for OSE.<br />
This foundation is run by an Iranian nuclear scientist named Mehran Tavakoli Keshe. He claims to have developed some groundbreaking technologies in the field of renewable energy. I would be interested to hear Marcin's feedback on this, as I'm pretty unable to legitimize these claims with my own knowledge. There are however many nay-sayers online who discredit his claims. Worth a look though. <br />
*Transcoded 'Stucco Tutorial' footage for upload to YouTube and send to remote editor as preliminary test.<br />
*Uploaded file to YouTube, but failed overnight (reason unknown).<br />
*Emailed all editor candidates with form asking to fill and return ASAP. I felt the wiki process was too confusing and time consuming, so sent the following form:<br />
<br />
<br />
''Dear applicant,<br />

*Conducted extended Skype conversation with Emily James about Vice piece. <br />
Discovered Vice are looking to make a piece of at least 15 minutes, possibly longer depending on quality of the material. This is a very decent length and will give us an opportunity to go into detail with the project. They are looking to finish the piece by late January. All costs for the production will be covered by Vice - meaning if I go to Guatemala OSE incurs no extra cost. Footage is non-exclusive to Vice, meaning OSE can still use for it's own purposes. Editorial control is shared between Emily and myself, with input from Marcin. There has however been a discrepancy between Emily and myself in regards to credits for the piece - we are discussing this in more detail on Thursday.<br />

We discussed D-Media, an open source media-sharing software they have developed which could help us distribute and manage video content. This is currently running only on Linux, but OSX and Microsoft versions are in the pipeline. They need help with funding, so I suggested Marcin might mention their efforts to Shuttleworth? They are interested in collaboration, and I will contact them again in due course.<br />

*Researched Pogoplug FTP alternative for video hosting [http://pogoplug.com/devices]<br />
Turns out this is a good, cheap solution, essentially turning any HDD into a server which can be browsed / downloaded online. Problem is it comes packaged with poor software which must be used to transfer data. Apparently it can be hacked with Linux software to make it better.<br />

*Continued preparing for FF release, emailing media people and extensively stirring Facebook / Twitter pots.<br />
*Interviewed several candidates for Editor/Indexer position - Jason Howell current front runner (examples of his work [http://vimeo.com/motivepicture/madebyhands] [https://vimeo.com/17018831]).<br />
*Prepared OSEmail, blog post, media contacts, Facebook audience, Facebook group contacts (such as Zeitgeist, Post Growth Institute) and Twitter followers for FF film release.<br />
*Coordinated releases through all channels on morning of Wed 14th.<br />
*Successfully suggested video to Corey Doctorow at BoingBoing.<br />
*Successfully suggested video to Wired video executive who has forwarded to her blogger network.<br />
*Conducted Skype chat with Novaclip founder Jason Gerard DeRose.<br />
We discussed D-Media, an open source media-sharing software they have developed which could help us distribute and manage video content. This is currently running only on Linux, but OSX and Microsoft versions are in the pipeline. They need help with funding, so I suggested Marcin might mention their efforts to Shuttleworth? They are interested in collaboration, and I will contact them again in due course.<br />
*Continued vetting Mandy.com ad response - interviewed Ian McKenzie.<br />
