[Shannon Smith <shannon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'd love to help. As a photo/video studio, we regularly work with visual
media. In fact, on my blog you can see what I called "No Mac, No Cheese"
photography tutorials (many of which featured ubuntu -
www.831photography.com). We can professionally produce them in-house, so let
me know if there is anything specific you'd be interested in!

I'd love to focus on:
Video editing
Photography
Software I use

Now I don't use 100% FOSS (We use Bibble Pro for the majority of our
photography work, and Picasa for personal stuff) but I am familiar with most
of the FOSS options.
