A/V Release Forms for WordPress.tv


Konstantin Obenland raised the point today that WordCamp A/V forms are a pain compared to the agreement forms we’ve digitized/automated. Since the way we handle A/V forms is a leftover from more than 5 years ago, that’s not surprising, and we should update that bit.

  • Not all speakers fill out an application form, so tying it to that wouldn’t cover everyone.
  • Opting in to global permission should be an option, but not the default. Anyone who does not choose global option will need to agree on an event-by-event basis.
  • We’ll be getting more meetup videos moving forward, so the wording should be for general WordPress events, with a listing of the events approved for use.
  • While someone can’t undo permission they’ve already granted, if they have chosen global option they should be able to log in and undo that option for future.
  • It might make sense to tie this to the .org profiles, as more event activity is going to live there.
