[esocialaction] open movie project

[Yuwei Lin]

Hi All,

Glad to hear so many positive responses.

I think a historical documentary or a ficitional film but based on true 
story) is quite appropriate than any other form of film for enforcing a 
community-based technology in that through bringing people together to 
tell their stories on a specific topic, we can engage the collective 
memories and further fortify a community on that. With open source 
software, we will be less restricted to software patents and other 
technological-related issues. I really look forward to seeing the 
development of this idea.]

As to funding, actually we could take the opportunity of the 5th call of 
EU FP6 IST (see the links below for more information).

(FAQs on general questions for IST proposal submission)

It might be a bit tight now, but I believe that we could still make it 
if we like. It would also make things easier if anyone on the list is 
experienced with this type of bid and would like to lead the proposal 
(i.e. be the coordinator).

If we can't make this call, would the T&SA programme support this project?

Best wishes,
yuwei
