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.
