Spent the day in San Francisco at the Digital Storytelling Unconference, a workshop put on by the Bay Area Video Coalition and the Community
Technology Foundation of California. About 80 reprentatives of community-based organizations spent the day here to here presentations from me (giving a 20-minute talk about Ourmedia), Stewart Chiefet of the Internet Archive and an exec of Current TV talk about how to use the new digital technologies.
The 3-year-old Digital Storytelling Institute announced winners of its digital storytelling awards contest:
• Overcoming Adversity (Neidi’s Story) by IDEPSCA
• La Clinica de la Raza (The Men of Casa C.H.E.) by Grupo de Hombres
• Recognitions of Place, by Southern California Library
• Teacher Warrior: A Cancer Survivor Story, by Bay Area Young Survivors
• Jenny’s Story, by Riverside Arts Council
• Stereotypes, Youth Together
I hope we’ll see some of these works posted to Ourmedia. (We’ll showcase them on the front page, if so.)
