[OLPC library] activities and bundles for G1G1, and more

[Samuel Klein]

Dear Sébastien,

Two introductions :  Please meet Natalia Tsarkova, who runs
i-concerts.com and is getting music videos from Africa (and  the music
tracks behind some of them) for release as bundles for G1G1 this year.
 She is interested in feeding part of the olpc portal on DM, and
producing some new content every month for release over the coming
year.

Meet also Michael Smolens, who runs dotsub, a multilingual video
subtitling project.

Natalia and Michael, Sébastien is spearheading the olpc projects @
Dailymotion (such as dailymotion.com/olpc).  The portal he has set up
has a good framerate and encoding for the laptops, and he can help
convert other media formats as well.

All - we have a draft set of software, activities, and collections for
this winter's OLPC giving program, which you can see here:
    http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activities/G1G1/8.2

I would love to add more audio and video bundles to the lot.  10MB is
a good size for a content bundle, as a rule of thumb.  I copy Joy and
Siobhan and our public library list to keep everyone in the loop.

Regards,
SJ
