[SFDXA] It is more then just random images

[Norman Alexander]

As Bill said,  there are at least two objectives with the request for member 
pictures.  One is to full fill the plan to have a webpage for each regular 
members station/antenna.  There are  some already in place.  Another quest are 
images of past club activities that can be organized into club visual history or 
past activities.  Finally another use of both categories of images is to 
construct a presentation of SFDXA members and club activities for use at the 
upcoming Miami Hamfest.   We have in the past used 35mm slides in a continuous 
carousel presentation device; today's goal is to do that with a computer 
presentation.  


The current priority is the last item, MIAMI Hamfest SFDXA computer 
presentation.  The first challenge is getting the appropriate images, with 
identification, and dates if they are of an event.  Then then have to be 
organized or grouped into a rational relationship, e.g. Member and equipment, 
present and past, or by activity, picnic, DX dinners, antenna raising parties, 
etc.  They may also need some type of chronological sequencing so that a 'slide' 
presentation creates a logical series of events or evolution.  


Or none of the above and it can be a random selection of images from a big 
bucket of material.  I prefer a more organized presentation.  Once  in that 
form, there are many video-slide formatting applications also capable of adding 
audio for additional enhanced presentation.  


Some of these tasks can benefit by  distributed  processing (with a common 
organizational goal) and other parts of the task will  take some knowledge and 
skill in creating the presentation with appropriate transition slides and 
accompaniment.  This is the volunteer work I am seeking because of the work 
scope, and my lack of knowledge for some of these tasks.

 Regards,


Norm
