 * Digital Storage**

Finalcut Server has been discontinued - how do you handle the storage, tagging, sharing, of digital assets (photos, video, audio)?

Interwoven as a potential for a consortium session for SAS of digital asset management.

Video is a very important to whatever solution is out there. Distance learning as a roadway to collaboration on education.

Flickr as a photo solution - Picasa as another. Flickr - one time annual cost, opt out of licensing/use, unlimited storage. Picasa - unlimited storage - better privacy solution

Metadata on digital artifacts containing geoloc information - how does this affect privacy issues? Mobile photo devices always cotain geotag issues - NYT article that most parents didn't know that.

Picasa privacy issues - picasa client by default uploads public - needs private. Flickr can do this with Uploadr or account settings.

Issues between storage, sharing and types of containers. Big issues with users who keep multiple hi-rez copies of digital artifacts. How do you restrict/train that activity.

Educating users with different picture resolution needs - how do you handle the multiple copies at different resolutions.

Dialogue between educators and technical professional staff, as it relates to challenges tied to professional edict.

Video vendors are not leveraging cloud well. - where is the market that is dealing with this?

Different models for handling cloud storage.

Back to FCP server - creating a hardened server and hot swapping down the road. How do we solve the problem? Digital asset management as a platform. How do you handle the issue of creating spec for the system. Who handles overhead for management? Do we look at discount pricing from an established vendor - how many schools need this? How much can they pay?

Conversation has moved to having the consortium work with a consulting group, then centalizing the cloud storage for a SAAS platform. Coult this work? Take mid-level digital asset management, that can handle video that could be built up on.

We are going to explore feature/solution matrix - will create google doc for feature matrix and repoirt out to group on initial findings. Looking at Canto or other venros as possible consortium approach possibilities.
