Showmedo is a peer-produced video-tutorials and screencasts site for free
and open-source software (FOSS)- with the exception of some club
videos, the large majority are free to watch and download.
Although as important as the software it supports, education
and documentation are relatively neglected in the Open-source
world. Coders love to code, and explaining how best to use or
improve the software tends to be deferred or even
sidelined.
At Showmedo we believe the community can play a vital role
here and also say thanks for the tools and software that make
our lives easier. If you have a piece of software you love or a
programming langugage you are enthusiastic about, why not make
a screencast showing others how to use it? All the stuff you
wish you'd been told, the tips, tricks, insights that would
have saved you time and frustration.
Screencasting is easier than you think, and we're happy to
help you. You can
emailus for
advice or just use some of the how-to screencasts on the site.
This
screencasting learning-pathis a
good place to start.
