Hi again,
I'm in School District #73 (Kamloops/Thompson) in the beautiful Interior of British Columbia, Canada. Actually, when I joined Classroom 2.0 on Ning you sent me a message and said that you were planning an interview with Gregg Ferrie from our district. He kind of spearheaded the whole Open Source movement in our district. My school moved to a Thin Client model this past November. It's working really well. Ask away if you have any questions. I'll answer what I can.

Thanks for the video editing info. I'll have to look and see if our techs have already installed any of them for us and test them out. If they haven't, I'll pass along the list and see if they can make them available. I appreciate the help!

Thanks!
Tracy

Hi, Tracy!

Kudos to your district. Wow. What district is it? I'd love to make contact with someone there, or to talk more with you.

I've not done a lot of video editing with Open Source tools (none, really), but here's a list of programs to start with, courtesy of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_open_source_software_packages#Video_editing.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for sharing this... It's really cool! I'll be checking out the wiki shortly.

Do you know what program they used to create the video? My district is entirely Linux/Open Source. If I wanted to create something like this, can you recommend a program?
