Yep… YouTube videos embed in MIro w time code “start from” — which is just an added parameter/query string of ‘&t=_m_s’
These could be generated automatically through a number of means, e.g Note-taker Time+topic annotations, and bulk rendered into Miro in time-line location. Or into topic cluster/network.
In this project and also beyond/elsewhere, I’m using the “embed” URL in an iframe, because that takes a start and an end position (in total seconds, as MediaFragments prefer too), which has the nice advantage that the video playback actually stops (but can be continued, if the viewer wants). Like a clip, but without actual clipping (which could be arranged too, if needed, but yeah, hosting/copyright).
That’s probably not much useful for working with/from the VTT, where the chunks/segments are arbitrarily split by text length of a portion of the transcript. Using the t parameter of the regular video “watch” URLs is then probably more for jumping into the video, for navigational purposes.
So this thread here is about starting work on tools under a libre-free license which help with audio/video curation, also doing it as a practice/exercise for the OGM call recordings content-wise so this group too may benefit from it, but the software is of course generic/universal and can be used on any material. Would you want to join and participate in this, or are you off doing your own thing, maybe planning for a proprietary product, maybe content-wise helping out CICoLab with their transcripts?
John Smith is not part of OGM as far as I know, but it strikes me that he could be a generative contributor to this conversation. John D. Smith John.Smith@LearningAlliances.net
Are you suggesting that I should reach out to him, and invite? In case there’s some trouble with OGM/Discourse as an entity/place, it’s also an option to compile a brief overview over the general audio/video curation activities here and elsewhere, to then see if that sparks some interest.
@Jerry - I can’t recall the inviting protocol, but I keep thinking John Smith would have insights into the things @skreutzer and @max are working on. Would it be ok if you invited him? (I do know he is a bit offline right now w/ family stuff.)
@NancyW Any updates on this? I think (according to the most recent OGM check-in call) the inviting protocol is that everybody is invited, be it calls or this Discourse forum. Or if not, fine as well. Are you suggesting asking him or other people to register here? Another option would be to take this out of the Discourse forum and put it into some open project management place. Another option would be directly reaching out, should I shoot an e-mail?
I think Jerry invited him. I continue to be buried in work so I have not made any advancements on my own contributions…
Howdy! I’ve added John to the OGM list and am sending a reminder note about the Thursday call now. If the stars line up, he can join us.
Hi Jerry, that’s fine, but I think Nancy or at least me wonder about inviting him (and others) to this Discourse, because it’s here where our discussion about this Action! practical project is, and especially as it’s about curation and transcripts, that’s all for asynchronous consumption, avoiding any need to have to wait until some stars eventually align or not. Additionally, Nancy sometimes is otherwise occupied and can’t attend the call, I’m never attending the call because it’s on Zoom, and then there are others working on transcript things which seem to not report much in this Discourse thread. It’s a big mess, best addressed with focus on how to bootstrap our way out of it. If people present something about video curation or transcripts within the call, I would need their tool/methodology applied and in use in order to efficiently learn about it to begin with, which up to this point apparently isn’t the case yet.
What I would want to learn, opinions/arguments which speak for or against
That’s something I wonder about because the Discourse forum isn’t linked on the main page, and it’s not public. Is the correct way to use the onboard Google Form, which will also invite people to register to the Discourse, as the correct procedure? Avoiding that they register themselves here, but don’t provide data and get added to other spaces via the Google Form? Apologies for asking, I’m just not aware what the policy is, or where to look the current state of it up. For the calls, I think it was said that everybody is invited to join.
@skreutzer, in my opinion, it’s okay (and actually good) to invite anybody to OGM Forum (this Discourse) who would benefit from or improve the conversation.
To do so, just have them go to the OGM Forum home page, https://forum.openglobalmind.com/ and tell them to click the “Sign Up” button to create a new account. One of the admins will approve them within a day or two, or ping me by email or DM to make sure I get to them ASAP.
This activity is closed and superseded by machine transcription, potentially upcoming speaker “swimming lane” on Miro and the index of recordings.
