out about existing distribution projects, get feedback for your own
projects or ideas, find collaborators and scheme about how best to
distribute your video. This is event is associated with the transmission
network. For more info check the Transmission Vx:mission page:

This will happen with 3 days of events. A show with films, info and
discussion on Friday 18th Jan, a day of geek central hacklab work on the
19th, and a day of public workshops on Sunday 20th Jan. The kinds of
things we’ll discuss and work on are…
* Open source Video Content Management and transcoding systems
* Translations and Subtitling tools
* Help files and Documentation to help people get involved

This gathering is planned in a association with FlossManuals .net and

projects and user orientated help.
The Amsterdam meeting coincides with the Video Vortex Conference:
