need funding for captioning 32 hours of video

[Adam Frost]

I think the only time the issue would cause concern would be if it were on the SignWriting website itself. But if the ads were deaf or sign language related some how, I don't think Google would penalize you like they did with other text link ads. 

I don't think that having a mention within our broadcast in Google Hangouts that so-and-so has sponsored this event would be a problem. Neither would it be a problem if it were in the published proceedings.

They all worked, and are working, so hard… but the actual “facilities for broadcasting” were free…

Manufacturer of deaf material would be interested (alarm system, alarm clock).  Closed-cationing companies for TV also have an interest.  Telecom companies also have interest  (phone companies that provide translation service for Deafs).  It would take some thinking on how much you would charge them.  Not too cheap and beeing caught with low value image.
