[Grassroots-l] dailymotion collaboration update, announcement tomorrow

[Samuel Klein]

Dear all,

Sébastien Adgnot has helped develop an olpc/Dailymotion collaboration over
the months since olpc.dailymotion.com was first set up, including
brainstorming ways to run contests for communities to upload the best videos
for teachers and students.  We are putting out a press release tomorrow
announcing the collaboration (providing ogg formatted video, promoting the
idea of olpc, promoting the idea of sharing videos for children and
education).  DM will be featuring info and video about olpc on their main
page, which will likely mean a surge of interest on the wiki.  And they have
a great multilingual community, and we can hopefully use this publicity as a
way to get more video submissions in Spanish, French, and English.

We could use help prepping email announcements tonight to go out in tandem
with the release, and picking some video and mediacommons groups to share it
with, and fixing up the main page and Participate pages, and making sure the
major pages/templates are protected, in prep for extra attention from new
visitors.

It would be nice to have spanish and french translations of the release as
well.
