I've also considered "Vodcasting" (Ick!) (can you tell I have some time
on my hands at the moment) :)

I considered a video podcast, perhaps something that came out bi-weekly
at the most, maybe monthly if there was enough content. It would need to
feature interviews, demos and chat, and not just a news roundup IMO, or
it would become tedious pretty quickly.

I would envisage a mix of The Scoble Show (interviews with one camera
and generally one interviewer [off screen]), Lab Rats (two guys talking
tech), and DL.TV (tech news and reviews). 

The interviews would be of people in the Ubuntu community - developers
and so on. The logistics of this are tricky given the majority of people
are all over the place (with some people in one or two locations).

However.. we have UDS coming, and I'm going (if my passport arrives in
time :S ). I'd happily take a video camera along and spend some time
recording interviews with people (given there will be loads of people
there). However I'd of course need to juggle doing interviews with the
other official business of UDS (I am sponsored to be there so need to do
some real work too), and of course that goes for all the interviewees
also.

Recording 5 interviews (for example) over the 5 days leads to a
manageable one a day schedule. The results could be put out separately
within the video podcast over the following 5-6 months, leading nicely
up to the next release, and the next UDS :)

If the schedule of vodcasts was indeed bi-weekly then every other
vodcast (once per month) there would be an interview, and the _other_
one that month would be tech-chat and UWN catch up. Should be enough
content there to sustain that I would imagine.

Other suggestions welcome of course.

Cheers,
Al.
