I don't know how to a screencast either. But many here, like Mariano are worried about English speaking skills. How hard is it to dub over the voices of the original screencast? Would we be able to make the spoken language part in multiple languages?

If this is reasonably possible, it would be nice if we had some instructions for the requirements of creating a language track for the screencast. Then native speakers can make tracks for their language.

I would be happy to help with English speaking part, provided I can hear Mariano, or whomever do an English version first, so that I know what to speak and when. I think this would help those who are non-native English speakers to feel more free in creating screencasts in their area of expertise, because they know that their English limitations are not going into the final product for the English speaking people. They can then also feel free to do a version for their native tongue.

Just wanted to explore this option and toss out this idea.

Hi,

Actually I'm training remotely a developer on Pharo using Skype and TeamViewer. This guy records all sessions for its own purpose and I like the idea.

For PharoCasts I would like to record 30mn to 1 hour sessions (as I know you don't have time) with an expert who shows us real code, explaining a framework / programming style / pattern while programming some examples (in the spirit of PharoCasts, and may be http://forum.world.st/Screencast-proposition-Watch-someone-read-code-td3244804.html ).

Right now I'm thinking about:
- Mariano on DBXTalk

Hi Laurent. I will be happy to do one, but I won't have time until 2 weeks. But after that, I will try. I have NO IDEA how to do an screencast, but I can try.

I cc'ed the SqueakDBX mailing list since I am all ears to hear what people want to see about SqueakDBX.  In you have something in mind, please let me know.
 
- Gary on Polymorph
- Igor on VM debugging or FFI / NativeBoost (for example interfacing with http://id3lib.sourceforge.net/ or other lib)
- Lukas on Magritte or PetitParser
- Dale on Metacello
- Nicolas on Iliad
- Janko on Aida/Web

and all that I forgot ..... I'm sure plenty of people would like their open-source project to be more known. This may be an opportunity.


How to do this: contact me if you wish to do that so we can choose an hour that match our respective calendars and agree on tools used (skype, google video chat, vnc, teamviewer, ....) - I will care about video stuff. Just talk and code :)


Anyone ?
