Session notes:

* Production of a short video (~2-3m) to showcase how Ubuntu is translated, how easy is to contribute and how it benefits users.

 * Which areas do we want to highlight?
   * Benefits of translations to Ubuntu users
   * How easy it is to contribute
   * Focus on the work that's already been done
   * Other...

 * Script/storyboard proposal:
   * Intro - Ubuntu logo shown in different scripts
   * Where is Ubuntu used - pictures of Ubuntu used in schools and other places
   * How is Ubuntu translated - Launchpad intro
   * Community - pictures of translation jams
   * Join us -

 * Soundtrack - Creative Commons. Brainstorming
  * Create a theme for each section
  * Create a single theme for the whole video
  * Background noise of the location we are showing in the video

 * Tools: Bender, kdenlive, pitivi, ardour, audacity

 * Brainstorming:
   * All sections should have a quote
   * All pictures as well
   * Show how LP can be used in interesting ways: translating and reviewing through
   video conference in empathy
   * Show how while queuing in the supermarket you can send translations.
   * Show click-and-point translation with touch technology
   * Show number of translators in Launchpad
   * Idea: short video of a person in their locale. Ask translation teams to provide videos and we can put them together. No more than 15-20 seconds, nice and short
   * Zooming down to locations in the world with google earth where translations are used - that would help viewers identify where the person is using Ubuntu lives. We could show how social networking helps connecting users.
   * Show an animation: someone has an idea and type a new translation suggestion, and a community of translators reviewing.
   * Show how the sentence "Linux for human beings is translated"
   * How are animations done in the Ubuntu intro video UDS-N?
   * Remember to give credit to upstreams - Ubuntu benefit from a wide number of OSS projects
   * Show logos of projects
