- Mail sent to societies 27th April 2006
Hi,
This is an email to let you know about the proposed D.U. Digicast Society, and how it might be of interest to you fine folks at ________________.
We've been working on laying the brain based groundwork for the society for a while; and here's what it would do.
1) Provide students with an opportunity to learn how to produce podcasts (online radio shows), vidcasts (online TV shows) and blogs (news columns online).
2) Work with other societies to distribute their creative work to a world wide audience.
3) Create an online forum, where visitors from around the world can hear, see, read and critique great original content from students in Trinity.
Essentially the society would commission and host original podcasts, and vidcasts - providing students with training and equipment to enable them to both produce their ideas and bring them to a wider audience.
What's in it for your society? If you or your members are interested in getting content online, we'd like to talk to you. It could be a recital of out of copyright music, a performance of original songs, a written article, or a documentary or feature film your members have produced..The list is almost endless.
While we aim to produce our own content; We're also very enthusiastic about opening up access to the publicity and distribution resources enabled by the internet, to all the students and societies in Trinity. Even if your society does not produce creative content at the moment, you or your members might be interested in producing shows in your area of interest.
Our initial meeting to gather input and interest in the society will be on Wednesday 3rd of May at 7.30pm.
Although there is little time left in the year, but we'd like to get the word out so we can kick of the society next fresher’s week, or before.
