Love this idea! It ties in nicely with discussions we're having with the MozFest team about making Hyperaudio for Conferences available to facilitators so they can transcribe, translate and repurpose their conference sessions to maximise accessibility and reach.

We're baking Web Monetization right into our platform which means facilitators can associate their payment pointers with any session videos they host on our platform, and be compensated proportionally.

Repurposing comes in a number of forms – we have a web monetised Wordpress plugin and JavaScript library so that facilitators can take the output of their session and host where they choose, complete with Interactive Transcript / Captions ... and all compatible with YouTube hosted content or – through our collaboration with other GFTW grantees Permanent.org – independently and for free.

Rather uniquely we also provide a video remixer and compensate facilitators when any part of their content is viewed in a remix (subject to the Creative Commons license chosen).

Giving all MozFest attendees a Coil account + funds means making content more accessible is instantly more appealing!

This is a great idea and could help a lot of new people grasp Webmo - we'll be happy to advocate. I already saw Mozfest is mentioning it in their emails.

Between now and then I will reach out to the Creative Commons filmmakers on open.movie to try and get a payment pointer for them - or offer to proxy for them. With a bit of thought maybe we can curate some new videos related to the festival programme.

All of these would be open access anyway but I wonder - just brainstorming - about trying to find some special screening event that that could be only for Mozfest attendees and might appeal? E.g. a screening of Hackers with director Iain Softley giving a realtime commentory. Or something? During the Open Video Conference, which I think ran for three editions before the first Mozfest, with a lot of the same people, there were movie nights after the day's sessions.

Love this! Please reach out to us on email to help get those filmakers lined up. MozFest has events throughout the year as "Fringe Events" your screening idea would be a great idea for that. Happy to discuss.

Can't wait to give it a go!
@sophie has published one of our first newsletters around the topic over on our blog - could we republish things like this over here for the WM experiment?

@micopeia email us a blurb, some sample social copy and some links and we will use you as an example of a WM expert. There will be new people with tips to give and long timers with a new feature.
