[modfilms-general] Release planning

[Michela Ledwidge]

It's been an eventful month. First up, the traditional film community
publicly recognised the value of what we've been doing with Sanctuary and
other remixable projects by honouring me with a Sydney Film Festival prize,
the inaugural Peter Rasmussen Innovation Award
<http://modfilms.com/archives/20090615_press_release_.html> (citing
Sanctuary)! 

Then I got to attend the Open Video  <http://openvideoconference.org/>
Conference (OVC) in NYC. You can read my
<http://thequality.com/people/michela/weblog/archives/002830.html>
conference report. 

Frustrating as it is to not have the resources to simply complete and
release Sanctuary, reality bites. The key learnings I've brought back from
the OVC are:

1) Staged delivery - the need to keep releasing is paramount. 
2) Collectivism - for remixable films to develop, the community needs more
resources. 

It is due to the invaluable input and support of remixable media community
members over many years that we have got the project to the stage it has
reached. Now I see the need to start releasing material regardless of the
fact a finished cut has not yet been produced. So I invite discussion on how
best to release the Sanctuary asset library and pipeline tools as they
stand. I plan to release them by 14 July, so comments before then would be
appreciated.

I still intend to finish my cut but it's time to take that milestone off the
critical path for the project.

So without further ado, I'm hereby opening up this rather old-fashioned
looking blog to the public...
