Learned how to use Vokoscreen to record myself through the webcam on my laptop which was running the OSE live-USB. Recorded the video interview questions and uploaded them to youtube. Video_resume-OSE for Jesse MacDonald(Telephoneman)

This took about an hour and a half to get to work as I had to calibrate it to proper settings to get it to record the sound in sync with the video.

In the end I used Window style recording and clicked on the webcam window to record just my image while reading the questions. I left the frame rate at 25, changed the videocodec to mpeg4, avi and the audio format I left at libmp3lame.

Sent off an email to ops at ops@opensourceecology.org to let them know I've completed the steps in the list.

• Update: Linked to corner_cube_test_video and learned how to upload my freecad file to the wiki.

Time frames:

Installing Linux: 20 minutes

Learning Free-cad: 3 hours of trying to get faster and more comfortable.

Documenting my work: 2 hours learning to organise on the wiki.

The hardest part was learning to use free-cad. Its a tricky program with tons of tools and features.

Ill give myself a score of 85%. I still don't know how to embed videos in the wiki so they play on the page, and I'm also missing some formatting techniques to make everything here appear concise.

Created live-usb and installed OSE Ubuntu OS to my desktop computer. Used the live CD on my laptop to record the desktop video due to microphone requirements. I'm having a hard time getting the sound to work with clarity on my laptop microphone for the video interview so ill give it a try tomorrow or start looking for old external microphones around the city. Recorded developer test video. Learned to edit video down to appropriate size and uploaded to youtube. OSE_DEV_TEST

Freecad is a lot to learn but now that I can use it a bit more reliably, its not crashing anymore and I am learning ways to speed up my workflow. One of the most useful tricks was the (ctrl) selection of files to mass rotate a bunch of copies. This saved a lot of time and will be a useful technique in the future. Hot-keys and always save!
