that's great!  Also, if you are coming to San Francisco, California, USA,
and you happen to have time for an interview, I would love to interview
someone from the Malaysian government about this decision for the Digital
Tipping Point documentary film.  There is a Malaysian Consul at this
address, and maybe someone from that Consul could be briefed and be filmed:


201 Clay St
San Francisco, CA 94111
Phone: (415) 421-6570

I say San Francisco, because that is where we are located.  We have
currently exhausted our travel budget, and so would unfortunately not be in
a position to pay for flights to Malaysia for filming.

The DTP is a film library project and a documentary film project that
strives to do three things:  1) build a great collection of video about the
new human renaissance that Free Open Source Software (FOSS) will bring to
the world; 2) build a movie-in-a-box out of the 5 best hours of that
footage; 3) create an entertaining, informative documentary out of that
library.  The film will show how Free Open Source Software is in the process
of creating an explosion of creativity, literacy, and scientific
advancement.  The target audience is Windows users.  We want to make the
film sufficiently fun that even Windows users will be entertained.

We have filmed many dignitaries such as Christian Ude (the Mayor of Munich),
Hermann-Josef Pelgrim (the Mayor of Schwaebisch Hall), Gilberto Gil (the
Culture Minister of Brazil), and Luiz Millan Vazquez de Miguel, (the
Extremaduran Minister of Science, Education), Jimmy Wales, the founder of
Wikipedia, and Mark Shuttleworth.  Our film is the first feature length
documentary to be built on-line out of fully forkable footage released under
a Creative Commons Attribute-ShareAlike license on the Internet Archive.

You can see our raw video here, where we currently have 59 hours of raw
video.  This video will need to be re-rendered for most applications other
than casual watching, as it is our "source code".

Our keyword search index page is located below.  It is the place to go to
find specific persons or themes for our footage.

Thanks either way for considering my request.

There is an active maillist, subscribed by govt users. Its in Malay, and
> we'll keep you guys updated when there are more migrations agency by agency.


We would be very interested in following this news!  Please post here and
please also ping me personally, if it would be convenient for you to do so,
and I will blog about it also!
