Article: [oats-sig] Promoting OATS with video

Nice idea.  Definitely something we'd like to contribute to in the long
term...  We've put some video case studies together as a starter:

Subject: [oats-sig] Promoting OATS with video

Looking at AbilityNet's collection of AT related videos on YouTube made me
realise that it would great to capitalise on the viral marketing
opportunities for OATS. An OATSoft YouTube channel is one possibility, but
we need more videos first. Some webcasts and videos are on other sites like
Yahoo so a section on OATSoft with links back from the channels would be a
better solution.

We could do with with a set of introductory videos and webcasts showing the
benefits of OATS. There's already Dasher videos and we could add OATS such
as FireVox, Orca (with magnifier), GOK, SAW, PowerTalk etc. For end users we
could show how easy it is to use. For clinical staff we could show how to
set up simple customisations
(AutoHotKey?)

Does anyone have experience and/or the inkling to start this?
