[Community Transcripts Project Open Thread]
We plan to transcribe many Netroots Nation presentations, but we need support from the Daily Kos community to do that. Our fundraising campaign will start tomorrow. “Many a mickle makes a muckle.”
Many will be unable to attend Netroots Nation this year. However, even those who attend Netroots Nation cannot attend all presentations. Watching a lot of videos takes a long time. Reading transcripts is faster, and the text of transcripts is much more usable for blogging. In addition, transcripts benefit progressives for many other reasons.
Question of the Day:
Will you support the efforts of the Community Transcripts Project to transcribe many Netroots Nation presentations?
Welcome …

We are building a community — please feel free to join us in whatever capacity you would like to create. Click on the red heart or the Follow link if you'd like us to show up in your Daily Kos Stream.

We post our Community Transcripts Project open thread stories at 5 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday.
About the Community Transcripts Project
We create transcripts of important progressive speeches and interviews which would otherwise not be transcribed. Our purpose is to support many individuals and groups. We crowd-source funds to pay our skilled Kossack transcriptionists more than a living wage. To see a list of the people we serve and for more details, please see our Introduction. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us by kosmail or email.
