We need to produce videos showing the 1.1 release highlights in the different categories. They are like documentary videos supporting the release notes and screenshots, not marketing videos.
Quim Gil agrees the scripts with the release reviewers and Brett Branch produces the videos.

MeeGo Application video tutorial
A set of videos featuring Danny Bennett as presenter. The length of the videos will vary depending on content. The goal of the tutorial is to guide a beginner from zero to MeeGo QML development.
- Video 1: Introduction to Application Development on Meego. This introduces Danny, the MeeGo architecture (at a high level), and the tutorials (Draft available).
- Video 2: Getting started with MeeGo. This shows how to get started on Linux (Ubuntu 10.04) and an N900 running MeeGo, using QML. (Planned readiness date 28.10.2010).
- Video 3: Advanced example. This shows how to combine QML and C++ on Linux (Ubuntu 10.04) and an N900 running MeeGo.
- Video 4 (suggested): Mobility example. Accessing mobility APIs from QML on Linux (Ubuntu 10.04) and an N900 running MeeGo.
- Video 5: Summary.
HDTV quality.
1.1 release video
First we need to decide the content of the videos for each category. This is also the most creative one, requiring most post-production.
We can skip it for the 1.1 release if we don't have enough time.
