need funding for captioning 32 hours of video

Sun Aug 3 09:35:27 UTC 2014

Donation done!

For the discussion about the fees, I think that we don't need to make pay
everyone who want to see the SWS (even because it is impossible with
hangout and youtube!). It is just a good solution to allow the members of
an institution to pay for the service you gave them, and it will be on the
conscience (and the wallet) of everyone to see if they can pay.

I also think that it will be a great idea, before the next symposium, to
speak about the "accademics needs", because for us is not just presenting,
is doing something that can be a line in our CV... but for this we need
something more "institutional", even if organized by a non-profit
association like you... for exemple, we need a "book of abstract" or a
"book of papers" with a ISBN (even if it is only an ebook distribute for
free.... or maybe an video-book?)... but this is another discussion and
maybe we can do it later :-)

Claudia (hoping I will not seems too "indiscreet" but I really want the SWS
to become a great regular meeting with an institutional recognition even
out of your SW-List)
