So, My name is Jerry, and I am a moderator for WordPress.tv.

0:00:06.784,0:00:11.567
and help kind of language things for that group,

0:00:11.567,0:00:18.926
and so what WordPress TV is it's basically a source for WordCamp Videos, and WordPress meetup videos,

0:00:18.926,0:00:23.886
and also public some media contents that is specifically WordPress.

0:00:23.886,0:00:27.993
Some people say, it's like Youtube for WordPress, I don't think that's exactly true,

0:00:27.993,0:00:30.488
because it's more awesome than that,

0:00:30.488,0:00:35.299
and it's all that WordPress of course it's more awesome for that reason.

0:00:35.299,0:00:40.748
but one of the everything makes different from Youtube unlike Youtube were submit someting is public right way,

0:00:40.748,0:00:45.128
the content of WordPress.tv is moderated by actually humanbeings who I am one of them,

0:00:45.128,0:00:47.618
and I also help manage bunch of others,

0:00:47.618,0:00:53.848
and what's the moderates of WordPress.tv do is the watch all videos that have been submitted,

0:00:53.848,0:00:59.611
typically this is WordCamp videos so it's you know sessions are coming from WordCamp around the world,

0:00:59.611,0:01:07.989
and, so our job is actually really awesome job. Because what we do is we watch all the videos before anyone else does.

0:01:07.989,0:01:14.303
and, other than economic picked video here quickly so we can see one looks like

0:01:14.303,0:01:23.508
so, like this is WordCamp Europe recently and when this came in image short to like, you know, set the screen so we can get Mark and really awkward pose here,

0:01:23.508,0:01:28.966
and, we also do you things like we adds some of the content you see such as the, you know,

0:01:28.966,0:01:36.141
descriptions about the event and someone made tags things like, so not terribly complicated stuff really,

0:01:36.141,0:01:40.734
and but watching the video part of the part of it takes a little bit time

0:01:40.734,0:01:50.920
because its something we want to get right is to make sure the, you know, the site description and links slides the presentation slides available,

0:01:50.920,0:01:55.550
We also make sure the videos are kind of what a community guidelines, typically that means,

0:01:55.550,0:01:59.250
that we don't have any commercial content, because this is a community web site,

0:01:59.250,0:02:07.601
so there is promotion things like that we tend to try to edit all the we also make sure everything this is displayed here on the site is,

0:02:07.601,0:02:13.809
you know, is the open source is friendly each GPL component client not talking about things anti GPL,

0:02:13.809,0:02:17.265
and the nice thing most of WordCamps are pretty well about it,

0:02:17.265,0:02:19.507
so speakers tatally not talk about these things anyway,

0:02:19.507,0:02:22.310
so really I just mentioned it passing,

0:02:22.310,0:02:32.124
but other than watching videos, publishing the site, the other things we do as moderator is we take the time to features some of the best content WC,

0:02:32.124,0:02:39.152
and homepage WordPress TV's. so, we actively keep this up today and any time we see video later,

0:02:39.152,0:02:45.627
We excellent technique quality and something like that looks close right we expected "TED TALK" for example,

0:02:45.627,0:02:51.232
where the slide is reinvented presentation and the lightening and framing everything is really nice,

0:02:51.232,0:02:54.552
and we make sure there is find a homepage people consider them,

0:02:54.552,0:03:02.874
We also have a blog and what we do you want a blog is we publish lap top pause everyone kind of gather content make sense,

0:03:02.874,0:03:11.474
and this feed block for actually shows up in your dashboard on your web site if you are WordPress dash board,

0:03:11.474,0:03:15.844
so, this feed block pause helps make you sure people who comes to dashboard their sites,

0:03:15.844,0:03:18.288
see some of the best content we are often WordPress TV.

0:03:18.288,0:03:24.675
Because we want make a source for educational learning for WordPress in the at least people will go to

0:03:24.675,0:03:30.559
if they want to learn something new catch a session they might to missed for example,

0:03:34.013,0:03:42.327
so some of the other things that we do as moderators on WordPress TV is we also moderate comments on of the post we make

0:03:42.327,0:03:50.273
someone makes a comment on the video, you know, we make sure is not spam for example we post make sure discussion happening around the videos,

0:03:50.273,0:03:56.676
We also keep decided ourselves today so we have, you know, some widget thing that on the site they did

0:03:56.676,0:04:01.562
you know they need it update for more recently WordCamps in make sure everything basically function on the site,

0:04:01.562,0:04:04.822
this is pretty minor task really doesn't pretty well.

0:04:04.822,0:04:13.515
but one of the other things we do and show we have a given bold tab on the WordPress.tv homepage,

0:04:13.515,0:04:21.473
which is where you can submit video, and anyone from the public can submit the video doesn't have WordCamp doesn't have to meetup,

0:04:21.473,0:04:26.556
you can actually do how to screen cast on how to set up widgets or something like that,

0:04:26.556,0:04:32.024
as long as it's not commercial on doesn't have any branding for your business you not trying basically sell yourself,

0:04:32.024,0:04:40.707
you actually trying to help other people who learn understand how to use WordPress then you can submit videos and we also moderate this video as well,

0:04:40.707,0:04:48.946
It's also possible WordPress TV does subtitle video add captions, and that something we do is moderate as well as area as expand in to,

0:04:48.946,0:04:56.199
and so we have full instactions how to add subtitles to any video on WordPress TV

0:04:56.199,0:05:00.732
and I can simply adding captions in English if you don't happen to know foreign language,

0:05:00.732,0:05:07.270
because once you create caption file in English, it's very easy for someone take that text file basically,

0:05:07.270,0:05:09.405
and then convert that into another language.

0:05:09.405,0:05:12.748
so even adding captions in English is incredible helpful for videos,

0:05:12.748,0:05:16.656
and we have an instructions how to do that as well as text instructions,

0:05:16.656,0:05:23.944
but, you know, we do video guys so you video walk through on how to do subtitles,

0:05:24.404,0:05:35.311
and somebody else we do the involved with this whole video thing is we also work on documentation in that takes two forms one is document for ourself how to be a moderator

0:05:35.311,0:05:42.437
anyone can join be a moderator and we have some resources for them to know how to do the job being the moderator

0:05:42.437,0:05:48.174
but the other thing that we do is we have started to create documentation for WordCamp specifically,

0:05:48.174,0:05:54.532
one of the problem is we see often we moderate videos that quality of the video can be pretty bad.

0:05:54.532,0:05:58.425
Even though the content of the presentation itself is incredibly good,

0:05:58.425,0:06:05.380
if the camera wasn't setup properly and lightening isn't good or someone forgot to do the microphone correctly,

0:06:05.380,0:06:08.995
basically if you can't see here the video, it's not good for anybody.

0:06:08.995,0:06:18.051
and we have a problem past had to not publishing the video submitted to ask after some of really hard on them,

0:06:18.051,0:06:22.157
Because of the some minor technical error probably be result pretty easily.

0:06:22.157,0:06:28.151
so what was starting to now the starting to create a lot of documentation on the WordCamp planning web site.

0:06:28.151,0:06:33.963
so anyone planning the WordCamp can come here, and they can see the basic in terms of, you know,

0:06:33.963,0:06:44.469
here is the top level of view of what you need to know day of the event for the event we have some instructions on what comes camera kits

0:06:44.469,0:06:49.014
and the WordPress foundation actually what they do is send video camera kits.

0:06:49.014,0:06:57.119
to WordCamps in North Americ and Canada to most of them actually and so comes in the video suitcase of the gear,

0:06:57.119,0:07:00.821
that if you are not the video expert, you have no idea how to use.

0:07:00.821,0:07:08.052
so we announce to create documentation to help people who are planning to the WordCamp to actually caption video,

0:07:08.052,0:07:15.330
that is a good quality is in the way it's so good we can easily publish it to the site makes our jobs as easy as well.

0:07:15.330,0:07:20.550
so that is in the show WordPress.tv is moderate what does,

0:07:20.550,0:07:27.152
and if you all interested in getting involved WordPress TV we have getting involved to the site like I mentiond,

0:07:27.152,0:07:32.903
and you can see instructions on how to subtitlle videos, you can also quite be WordPress moderator,

0:07:32.903,0:07:38.258
and you don't need to have a technical background to do this you don't have to be a video expert,

0:07:38.258,0:07:44.754
In fact, if you just like watching WordCamp presentations, and would like to help community at the same time,

0:07:44.754,0:07:52.143
Basically that would you do watch the videos, you've got the chance to actually learn skills you should our session maybe you would see,

0:07:52.143,0:07:55.684
that if you benefit that WordCamp, you can actually moderate that video,

0:07:55.684,0:07:58.703
learn something new and help the community at the same time.

0:07:58.703,0:08:05.050
so I've got say its contributing to the community goes this is probably one of the awesome parts of it.

0:08:05.050,0:08:09.362
so that's WordPress TV. Thanks.
