[Crowd-Sourcing] We need your help!
 

Hi,

W+K, Nokia, Lcuk, and I have been working on putting together a "library" of videos, showcasing real Maemo Community members talking about what they like about their Nokia N900s. You can view some of the tests here:

http://vimeo.com/maevoice

Yes, you'll notice a bunch of "us" in those videos.

Ok, so now we need "you." At some point in the future, something really cool is going to be done with all of these videos (trust me). And, these videos will be seen by millions of people, all over the world (really).

But, what do we need from you?

Take a look at the videos at the URL above. One of the videos that exemplifies what we're looking for is this one, by Adam (rm_you):

http://vimeo.com/7544002

Here are the "rules":

Also, one thing you will see in all of the existing videos is us saying the, "This is my voice," part. Don't do that. It was a test and we decided not to use it.

Then what?

Once you have recorded a video (or videos), PM me via this forum and let me know. When you do, I will give you the login info to the Vimeo account where we want the video(s) uploaded.

Easy, no?

Thank you. I look forward to receiving your PMs and seeing your videos!

Tim

I'll join this, once I have an N900 :-)

Are you sure about this particular DON'T? Will you later edit these videos and include the feature working?

Re: [Crowd-Sourcing] We need your help!
 

The qole one caught my attention, mostly because I think he is using the n900 with my kind of headphones though. This looks interesting but I'm without an n900 still.

@qole: Are those Sennheiser HD 515's and how do they sound on the n900?

Re: [Crowd-Sourcing] We need your help!
 

heheh I borrowed those headphones from a (German) colleague... Didn't really test them out. I actually use tiny little earbuds myself, but I needed some gigantic headphones that could be seen in the video...

And yeah. When I wasn't forgetting my lines, tripping over cables, or being interrupted by passing trucks, the wind destroyed the sound.

Re: [Crowd-Sourcing] We need your help!
 

Awesome! I will definately participate in this! *Eagerly waiting for my N900 to arrive!*

Re: [Crowd-Sourcing] We need your help!
 

Piece of advice: try to find some unique features to showcase, avoiding something like "it stops music when someone calls" (sine every freaking phone with A2DP for 50 bucks does that) and "I can check facebook" (nowai?!).
P.S.: I better pass this event or I'll be banned instantly. Have fun.

Re: [Crowd-Sourcing] We need your help!
 

Yes, these types of things will be done later -- professionally.

Thanks,
Tim

Re: [Crowd-Sourcing] We need your help!
 

Hey all! I'm new here, but I just wanted to thank you for taking part.

I also want to extend the invite to everyone else on Maemo.

This could be a really fun expression of the Maemo community. I'm working on a video myself.

Re: [Crowd-Sourcing] We need your help!
 

Hi,

Remember: If you've completed a video for this project, please PM me (or, email me if you have my address) and I'll send you the instructions for submit your work.

Thanks, everyone!

Just a bump. If anyone wants to do a video, I get the impression that this weekend may be your last chance!

I did another one!

Re: [Crowd-Sourcing] We need your help!
 

why do I keep hearing "I'm an N900...." when reading this thread? lol.

Best of luck guys and look forward to seeing the result :)

Re: [Crowd-Sourcing] We need your help!
 

Oddly, this thread is making me more impatient than the shipping threads. (Probably cos I stopped reading them!)

I was in a situation last week when I thought "Damn. N900 with X installed would totally solve that issue. And impress the hell out of some powerful colleagues."

I keep thinking it would make a great vid... but I need to be holding the device.

Re: [Crowd-Sourcing] We need your help!
 

It's a fine life for those with devices.

Cool!

I've already got you and RevdKathy pencilled in the lead roles when I write my first theatrical play called "Waiting for the N900".

Regards,
Roger

Re: [Crowd-Sourcing] We need your help!
 

Whats up with this effort? Is this still on?

With a lot of guys getting thier n900's we should se a lot more videos coming in.

Here are the older videos.... they are cool.

I am thinking of making one...

Re: [Crowd-Sourcing] We need your help!
 

I'm currently in the process of putting a video together. I've already shot at 2 different locations, but need 2 others, and won't be there before a few weeks.

Sorry.

Re: [Crowd-Sourcing] We need your help!
 

Is it a comedy or a tragedy? ;-)

Re: [Crowd-Sourcing] We need your help!
 

Hey guys,

Matt here, the Community Manager from the PUSH N900 campaign. I just wanted to say that I love this idea and that I've written up a little blog post over on the PUSH N900 blog:

http://blogs.nokia.com/pushn900/
http://blogs.nokia.com/pushn900/2009...collaboration/

I'll try and get round to recording one of my own videos soon!

Re: [Crowd-Sourcing] We need your help!
 

Hi,

What every happened to this? I never did see the ad that got made.

Cheers,
Dave.

Re: [Crowd-Sourcing] We need your help!
 

Funny-peculiar, Dave, since you were in it.

I wasn't in it. So no link from me. They don't deserve it. Bstrds.

RevdKathy tweeted it back in January, I think.

Re: [Crowd-Sourcing] We need your help!
 

also, some community blogger did a small mention of it ;)

Re: [Crowd-Sourcing] We need your help!
 

Ha! I just did not have the hangups over licensing like you did.

And, sadly, now I'm Jonesing it.... N900 suffering from multiple mutiple multiple personality disorder and is drunk / braindead
