Session Description: 

Presenters: Dean Jansen, The Participatory Culture Foundation; Steven Mansour, The Strict Machine Foundation

Commercial platforms like YouTube, MySpace, and Facebook give activist mediamakers potential access to large audiences, but they also exploit your cultural labor, make money off of ads without sharing the revenuewith you, log your IP address and track your social networks, hand over your info to the government, and censor you if they are asked to do so by the government or corporations. Happily, the last couple of years have seen a real advance in free and open source tools to help you set up your own multimedia site. In this part-informational, part-hands-on workshop, we will zero in on some state of the art FOSS tools that you can use for video production and distribution.
