  5. Realization • Can only be realized as a joint effort of the scientific community • Principles as with free software or Wikipedia- non profit- open to everybody- free access

  6. Who can help? • Professors by making their lectures available on video • Students by asking and assisting their professors to do so • Conference organizers by permitting or organizing recordings • Conference speakers by having their talks recorded • Conference participants by volunteering as camera teams • Companies and institutions by providing webspace and bandwidth • Video experts by offering technical advice
