LASSnet videos: Pune 2010
Dear All
We're happy to announce that the video recordings of the Law and Social Sciences Research Network Conference held in Pune in December 2010 are now available publicly. We've recorded a selection from the Plenary Sessions, the Memorial Panels and some of the other panels held at the conference to give people a sense of the diversity of discussions that happened over four days. The links are available on the Pad.ma website, and have been listed below at the end of this email.
Thanks to Maya, Dalia, and the students and faculty at FLAME who organised for many of the sessions to be recorded. Thanks also to Sebastian and Shubha for helping with the recordings. And of course, thanks to Pratiksha for pushing us to ensure that there is a record of this massive organisational effort that serves both as an archive and an inspiration to take this effort forward.
A little note on Pad.ma: Pad.ma is an open, autonomous video archive that allows for dense textual annotation on videos. To see LASSnet videos, you can click here and see the list of various videos, or you can click on individual links provided below. This link leads to the info page about the videos. Clicking on the video thumbnail or changing view option to editor, leads to the entire video timeline. The video player on the left has a play button at the bottom, and the video should load easily on a decent broadband internet connection. By pressing 0 you can go to the next section or clip within the same video, by pressing 9 you can go backward. You can press H for help and other commands.
Pad.ma allows for multiple levels of interaction with the video. On the info page, you can download the entire video via torrent, and on the timeline/editor page you can select in and out point and download a smaller section as a media file. This option is available in dropdown menu under Actions. You can also add comments, keywords, description and transcript to the text on the right side, by clicking on the + (plus) sign. Pad.ma allows for layering of comments, but not editing contributions made by others. For any help on doing any of this or other comments, please write to [email protected] or to Zinnia at [email protected]
It has not been possible to transcribe all the LASSnet videos though they have been annotated by keywords. Any volunteers who would like to transcribe one or many videos should contact us.
Hope you enjoy these videos!
- Siddharth, Sruti, Namita, Raghu and the entire pad.ma team
