ourmedia: a call for entries

We’re about a month away from the beta launch of ourmedia.org. (See the item below.) The goal is to create a global repository of shared grassroots media.

We have a number of media items or collections in hand, but we need more to fill out the site.

Here’s our first pass at material that have been suggested for the first iteration of ourmedia:

Digital stories
Original music
Photo galleries
Video diaries
Music videos
Digital books
Home-made video
Remixes
Independent films
Student works
Instructional video
Documentaries
Political ads
Animation
Editorial cartoons
News footage
Parodies
Artwork
Fiction
Non-fiction
Children’s tales
Interviews (audio)
Book reading (audio)
Oral history (audio)

Please contact me if you have created any digital works that fall into any of the above categories (or similar topic areas) and would be willing to show them off to a global audiences. Creative Commons licenses are preferred, but fully copyrighted works accepted as well.

We especially need multimedia works: digital stories, original music, digital photo galleries/collections, video diary entries, home-made video, etc. You’ll see how it looks (including title, credit, links back to your site) before it goes live.

Here’s more information for content creators interested in ourmedia. And if you’d like to join our wiki, let me know.
