Videoblogging @ CEC
Just a reminder.... we've got a great set up at CEC this year for all Customer Engineers to produce their own 2-4 min videoblogs!
The objective is to provide a location and the tools for the greatest assets of our company to tell their stories... It would be awesome to hear about project management or technical areas that have been critical in customer engagements... examples of where we were on time, on budget, and just went way beyond expectations. But it would also be cool to hear opinions about the topics of CEC - disruptive technology, red shift, eco computing, etc...
After working on this project the last couple weeks, it occurs to me that there's some hesitation over doing a video like this - a 2-4 min videoblog. It seems like a lot of people are more comfortable shooting a highly produced multi thousand dollar video.... but here's the deal... today, user generated content is it! We don't have to spend thousands to get a message across. That's what the whole 2.0 or "web next" thing is about. That does NOT mean that the content is not rich and compelling... if anything, a challenge like this video project forces us to make the content "king."
2-4 minutes... it's just like a blog... but it's a video. And we're all set up at CEC to help you create your own!
Call me if you're interested in learning more (415-373-1829). Go to our Cepedia page. Email our alias at cec_video_challenge@sun.com. OR just come to CEC with some ideas in mind that you want to videoblog about, a buddy you might want to do it with (although that's not necessary)... but at the very least, come by our room at CEC - just 25 feet away from the main stage - the Burgundy Room in the Paris Hotel.

small print:
Just a reminder... this is for an external audience... being a "challenge," we're posting all submissions to YouTube - Keeping that in mind, we also need to be sensitive to what we say to our external audience. For some, this freaks people out... for others it just makes them want to suit up! Game on!
