Educating the Open-source Community With Showmedo

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.

Kudos and Thanks for Patrick

I like the scren cast a lot. In my experience I ran into the "can't open DB error" that showed up at the end of your cast. Would love to solve that. Overall. Great. Thanks

Great screencast . Would have loved to see it done on a real box but I'm sure that would have presented some additional challenges. I am not new to mythtv but i would have been thrilled to have had this 3 years ago when mythtv was really taking off. oh well. I am going to watch your QAM screencast and then the downloadable podcasts. Keep up the great work
