[hs-equality] filming CCC3

[Mitch Altman]

Hello, Everyone,

Sorry for taking so long to put out this email.

Awhile back I received an email from Henryk, of CCC (copied at the 
bottom of this email) saying that they'd like to include content about 
queer geeks in the video documentation about 28C3.  Henryk connected me 
with Matthias (see further up the thread), who is a film student that is 
into doing the video-ing.  Matthias and Henryk are cc-ed on this email.

We are making this up as we go along, but I spoke with Matthias, and he 
said he would be into video-ing the panel.  I've spoken with a few 
people in person about doing the queer geeks panel.  We can do it in one 
of the rooms in the basement.  If you are interested in doing the panel, 
please let all of us know by replying, and please pick times that you 
would like to do it.  After we pick a time we can publicize the panel so 
that any and all at 28C3 who are interested can be there.

Here is my DE mobile number:
      +49 157 7781 4819
(my number from this summer at Camp still works, but I'm using the one 
above as my main number).

Michael -- this is independent of the doc that you were suggesting 
awhile back.  Assuming you are still interested, then maybe you and 
Matthias can do some collaborating?  Or you can work independently -- it 
is up to you.

Best,
Mitch.
