So far we have had one excellent logo submission. Should we ask for
more, or just use the one from the top of the site (which I made in
about 10 seconds in the GIMP)?

Agreed. I added this as a request to the FAQ here:-

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreencastTeam/FAQ#head-425db2803f921e0de4ed0c67abfa7eaec1a02c1f

The original one I used is here:-

http://doc.ubuntu.com/screencasts/videos/ubuntu-uk-titles.odp

If someone (with more talent in that department than me [ which ==
pretty much everyone]) wants to take a stab at modifying it, that would
be great.

Good question. I'd like someone else to tackle this question because I
am not hot on copyright and licensing.

Ah, there is a little history here. 

The sceencasts were created "for" the Ubuntu-UK LoCo team after we had a
meeting and decided it would be a good thing for us to do. Matt East
picked it up and thought (rightly) that this kind of thing shouldn't be
restricted to just the UK, and that it should probably come under the
Documentation Team. I agreed and me moved the existing content over.

I have MPEG masters of all the videos. If someone creates a new
title/end sequence then I would be happy to re-cut the videos with the
new URL.

However.. I suspect that http://doc.ubuntu.com/screencasts won't be our
final home. Personally I'd like to see screencasts.ubuntu.com used (or
similar). If that's the case then I don't really want to "waste" time
recutting those videos, re-uploading to our site, and re-uploading to
google video if I am going to have to do it again shortly afterwards.

Make sense?

Yes. Maybe we could have a "how to contribute to this project"
screencast which is short (5 mins) and could be distributed in the same
way?

Thanks for your input Michael, much appreciated.

Cheers,
Al.
