The first batch of panels for South by Southwest 2010′s Interactive Festival were announced today. Of the 2300+ submissions, two out of our three proposals made it through so far—all thanks to your votes and comments.
- What’s Open Video and Why Does It Matter? — This panel covers the essential ideas behind open video, including the importance of open video, what participation means in the digital age, and what the legal and technological battles that surround online video.
- Wikipedia Gets an Upgrade: Collaborative Video — This panel will explore the implications of adding video to Wikipedia. Wikipedia has recently teamed up with Kaltura to implement OGG Theora video; however, there are lots of technological implications, communal implications, and both legal and practical issues.
Be sure to keep an eye out for our upcoming Open Video Contest, where one grand prize winner will receive a trip to Austin, TX for SXSW 2010 Interactive!
