theora - May 2010 - Freedom-friendly video hardware community

Our discussion in the "Theora Camcorder" thread has been great, but I
didn't see a direction evolve for action yet.  So, I'd like to propose
the creation of a community website that will be focused specifically on
this kind of thing, partnered with the Xiph Foundation.  I'm also more
than happy to host said website, as I have more than ample server
capacity for that.

I just want to take an informal poll of who would be interested in such
a thing before actually going through with it.  Let me know, and I'd
like to also hear some suggestions for a nice name for the community. 
In an ideal world, it would be a community for general hardware ideas,
but I think we can take advantage of the urgent need for a free /video/
device that normal users can use as a camcorder, so we can let it be
video/consumer-related, at least initially.

Some ideas for names:
    -    Theoracorder
    -    Liberated Video
    -    Unbound

(I didn't say they'd be good ideas!)

'Unbound' is a good product name.

I am excited. Liberated video is great.

Yes, Unbound is a DNS server package and the name would be hard to search
for.

I like Liberated Video the best, personally. Theora probably won't
always be around and it'll give the option to move to VP8 or another
codec in the future, as the main intent I believe is to have free
video rather than just use Theora. To me, Theoracorder sounds like
something for a hard core geek, not most who want to just make videos
and distribute them however they please.

Good sounding name ideas, though :-).

But, seriously, are we picking website names?  So, are we talking
liberatedvideo.org or something like that?

librevideo.org or liberatedvideo.org?  How about liberatedmedia?  I like
the general scope of the "media" as opposed to just video.  Last call!

I have no idea what this thread is about, but you might want to look at
the Elphel Apertus project:

http://cinema.elphel.com/

They are trying to take an Elphel camera and add all the stuff needed to
make it a convenient high-end portable videocamera.  Present work seems
to be mostly on the control interface.  The roadmap calls for Dirac Pro
output if possible.
