               How to Create a Free Infrastructure for
                Multimedia and Internet TV Production


  Ever have an idea for a TV show, a stage production, or a movie script?
  How do you get everyone on the same page?  Collaboration is a very hot
  issue right now, and with good reason. Through the use of several
  cross-platform and web based applications, you can share documents,
  scripts, and whiteboards, while using VOIP, IM and chat all at the same
  time. These tools can be used for many other purposes as well, including
  workplace tasks.  They are well suited for small offices and startup
  companies.  The total software cost of this infrastructure is a whopping
  ZERO! The preferred OS is Linux of course, and all of the applications
  required are Open Source, but if you are running Windows you can still
  get on the same page. You can use all open source applications for video
  editing and graphics production, even subtitling.

About Ira Hyman:
  Ira Hyman is the Director of the LinuxLoft.com development team, is a
  long-time NYLUG member, and believes in the power of Linux and FOSS to
