Decide who to film!

Do we need a little film clip for this module? If so, who?
Some suggestions here.
FYI
Script in prep for a max 10 min short clip (1000 words, intro, 4x200 word paragraphs, wrap) to support e-learning/self-learning/blended-learning (and of course this MOOC!) on an issue Open Science sceptics confront me at training sessions: how to optimise disclosure without threatening traditional Intellectual Property Rights?
The content is defined by DTU Legal+DTU Patent geeks (in the red corner), and of course the FAIR+Open crowd (in the blue corner). The case example is build around GNU-MIT-Apache licenses and aims to present a simple decision tree for sceptical researchers in a way that empowers them to act.
The "script" could provide context for Module and hopefully disarm the IPR-sceptics (both researchers and research support staff!). In the Module 5 Structure, the "script" would best fit just prior to "Open Source licensing" section here https://github.com/OpenScienceMOOC/Module-5-Open-Research-Software-and-Open-Source/blob/master/content_development/MAIN.md#software-citation-
Who to film?
Ideally a LEGAL expert if we can attract one. If not, I am entertaining the idea of engaging the UN SDG Ambassadors who will immediate get why Open Science IS a scalable contribution to Sustainable Development Goals, and might help read and record script.
Happy to circulate "script" as soon as I braindump it on a page.
Does this fit Module 5 plans/ideas/vission? Feel free to shoot it down from the sky, nothing will be lost.

Hm. Someone from the SSI might be a good candidate for this one? @alexmorley @Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman - any ideas?
Some possible suggestions for now:

Suggested style: Au naturale (i.e., not a floating head behind a desk thing..)
Also:
Paola Masuzzo, Data scientist
Naomi Penfold, eLIFE
Titus Brown, UC Davis
Rene Bernard, BIH
Daniel Katz, NCSA
Neil Chue Hong, Software.ac.uk
Heidi Seibold, LMU
Anna Kostikova, Inside DNA
That is an excellent idea. Plenty of non-male choices above, nicely, and lots of choices in how to present too. I guess for this, the purpose would be a 3-5 minute video explaining why FOSS etc. are all intrinsic and important parts of open science, and the benefits that it brings. This is what the script development guide is for.
Comments from Gareth O'Neil on twitter: also consider Egon Willighagen and Peter Murray-Rust.
happy to participate but you have lots of great names so also happy to watch from afar :)
Happy to help, but I also understand the "male" aspect, and even more the "old white male" aspect.
I am far too shy for this :p
However, my 2 cents: in a few minutes give a bit of rationale and then show the core/benefits of FOSS. Happy to contribute with my set of slides where I go into this with nice examples from GitHub (I do not really have to contribute, the slides are here, CC-BY licensed and ready to be used).
If you're looking for a legal expert, you could try Clemence Tanzi at qLegal at QMUL or Kendra Albert at the Cyberlaw Clinic at Harvard. Both are versed in the legal aspects of open source, but don't come from an open science background.
For someone from an open science / open source background, how about Abigail Cabunoc Mayes at Mozilla or Carina Haupt from the German Aerospace Center (DLR)?
Thank you all for your feedback on this! @pcmasuzzo @npch @ctb @jcolomb
So, I have decided on a strategy and a list of people to film now for this. The intention of the video is to explain to learners why they should be doing this module. What the advantage of learning this material is, in terms of how it will affect their daily research practices. For this, what I want to get is short snippets (30 secs to 2 mins, tops) from 6 people (below, all confirmed) telling a story about why and how OSS is important to them and impacted them, and give a real world story. So, for example, 'Using OSS, I was able to remotely collaborate with researcher X in country Y, which led to the sharing of research code and data and ultimately a publication in journal Z.' So this will come in at the Introduction just before the learning outcomes, and really nail why people should be doing the module in terms of a human component.
For this, based on Twitter and GH discussions, the following people confirmed for this are:
@petermr, Heidi Seibold, Konrad Foerstner, Anna Kostikova, Ina Smith, and Abby Cabunoc Mayes. This selection represents a really awesome mix of backgrounds and experiences on OSS. I'll get things rolling by email.
Now, importantly, I want this video to be completely distinct from something like a formal university lecture. I want it to be personal, natural, and engaging. So less floating heads and instructional, and more casual. So, I don't think an explicit script will be neccessary, although some little prompts might. What I want produce ultimately is something inspirational that gets people to go 'OK, this sounds useful to me and I should take and complete this module'.
Thoughts? :)
Even more work for me as I have never done this before. But hard work means that my skills will improve. I will be in touch via email with you all very shortly - thank you, @petermr :)
Working on this right now, @petermr! I put a lot of effort prior to starting into setting up a recording protocol and other preparation material. At the moment I'm just adapting this a little to create a unique structure for this proposed video, and then will be in touch with all of you :)
I've moved this now to email for the next steps, so will close this for now :)
