@labarba would it be possible for the grant to pay a stipend for a producer/editor (say $250 per month) for a student intern.

[labarba]

For how long? You have our budget: it has a line for paying students an honorarium that we titled "student awards" (intending for them to reward students who involve themselves in OSS). This would divert funds from that line, as we have no other budget line to draw from that is in scope.

For 1 year, but really as long as we want the support. I was thinking this would come from the services budget line if we decided we didn't need to pay for a mooc. I can advertise for an unpaid position, but I'd prefer to pay for the work.

I suppose it's alright to draw from the services budget line. As you know, I had other plans for that, but we're delayed with respect to original plans. I still want to build a learning site similar to the TOPS one, or basically upgrading my Open edX site and posting learning content there.

[labarba]

But before you post and begin searching for an intern, I'd like to see us have some starter raw content. I've seen a few projects involving online content that have failed because the cart was placed in front of the horse by getting infra in place before having the content.

Planning meetings

• Met with creative studio (Drew Moger) regarding the resources that are available and planning what is needed.
  • NOTE: the library is closed this summer, so the studio space is not available from May-August.
  • Also, there is a separate Podcast studio being built for the fall (not ideal for video)
  • Additional notes from Drew
    • Obs studio - screen capture
    • Zoom record to device (cloud is limited time)
      • Setup record settings
        • What it records (chat, etc)
        • Where it saves (local)
        • Output mp4 (and mp3)
      • Edit once in premiere and export mp3 audio for podcast
      • Premiere pro will generate a transcript and captions
      • Can add premiere captions as sidecar and upload to youtube for “improved” captions
      • Youtube captioning is automatic
    • Shorten recording (only 20 minutes for 15 minute show)
    • Possibly throw in transitions for awkward cuts
    • No rentals of video monitor camera or light (only mics)
    • SMPA contact - Imani Cheers (on sabbatical)
    • Story arc
      • How we got here?
      • Unity game engine
      • Epic/unreal versus unity
      • Godot - open source
• Richard Littauer Podcasting Guide - https://github.com/RichardLitt/knowledge/blob/master/podcasts/recommendations-for-recording.md
• contact at SMPA to request intern support as a producer and/or editor - Anna Camp Senior Student Services Specialist - aecamp@gwu.edu

moving this back to the backlog. We have started using our "Stories" page on the OSPO website to push out blog content. And we do record the GW Coders lunch and learn presentations. I have no plans at this point to create a podcast or additional video content.
