Story Review

Last Saturday I went to an open meeting with Jimmy Wales, the founder of Wikipedia, and shot everything. He talked about the free encyclopedia, about his for-profit project Wikia and about web design, and that was followed by a lengthy but very interesting Q&A session.

One of the reasons why I’ve been so slow to post these is that I’ve been very busy. The other is that that was my first time shooting so much content with the Nokia N95 8GB and I made some rookie mistakes that cost me dearly in… err… post-production. There will be a follow-up post about the lessons I learnt from that experience, but for now I’ll simply put up the videos in case anybody else finds them interesting.

All the videos are also on YouTube.
