Community Growth, Inkscape, Video and More...

If there’s not a community or place that immediately springs to mind when you want to find folks doing certain type of work, it’s a clear indication that something is missing (and an opportunity to possibly do something about it).

Oh yes! I couldn’t agree more.

@ryangorley

I don’t know where to find them (hence the need for a community like this).

Me neither - so spent days surfing the internet trying to find Linux and FLOSS Filmmaker. Here are some places I found:

1. There is a tag called video editing on opensource.com

2. Micah Pendleton makes Filmmaking Tutorials on Youtube using linux and mostly open source programs

3. Sebastian Pichelhofer and his team develop the Axiom Open Source Camera

4. Sam Muirhead makes professional documentaries - often related to open source topics

5. A Google+ Community of Linux Filmmakers

6. On Reddit: /r/Linux_Filmmaking

7. Some people from Brazil who develop add-ons to make Blender a powerful and usable for video Editing

8. "open source cinema" - a organization/company who focus on more sustainable filmmaking

9. not necissarily related, but there is a network of Creative Commons film festivals - so, creative commons, but not necisarily made using free and open source tools

10. There is an “Open Everything Film Festival” in Vienna this year - organized by Sebastian Pichelhofer.

It was quite difficult to find all them because there is barely a place where they all find together - and I don’t believe it is complete, and if there is a platform for FLOSS Filmmaker to unite, the number will only grow.
