Nikolay Georgiev/Open Work

This page describes how I work in an open way.

Tools needed:
 * Internet
 * Android phone
 * Youtube account
 * Flickr account

Tasks
For tasks I use
 * Trello
 * https://trello.com/board/ose-germany/4f5f9e3194ba5ea81c363e99
 * or sometimes paper.

Media
Upload videos to YouTube with:

Record the video with Android phone (e.g. Galaxy S2)


 * If only one small video:
 * upload it with the standard YouTube uploader app
 * https://www.youtube.com/nikolayhg
 * Comments: uploads from the phone take more time than from my computer and I have to resume them often (requires longer time + manual input from me).
 * Option 1: find a way to upload to youtube without failures. (isn't researched yet, I need help here)
 * Option 2: transfer the video on computer and upload from there. (to be tested for efficiency) Good side - multiple videos upload is possible, no worry for discharged battery.


 * If multiple videos or one big video was recorded:
 * Copy the videos to laptop
 * Compress with Free Video Converter using the Youtube HD Conversion method (File size is reduced about 4 times).
 * Upload to YouTube from the laptop. You can add multiple files in the upload queue, set their names and description and leave them for upload one after another.
 * This saves much more time for upload HD videos!
 * Tips:
 * File Names: words make it easier to identify a video than just the date. You can either rename the videos on your Smartphone or set names when they are copied on the computer.
 * On the way: You can save time by preparing the videos while you are on the way after filming: copy, name and compress the videos to be ready for upload.

Upload photos to Flickr with:
 * Android phone and standard flickr app (for 1 photo) or upStream (for multiple photos)
 * https://secure.flickr.com/photos/nikolayhg1/
 * Comments: upStream saves time, but costs $0,72. OS Free version would be great.
