Community Storytelling with OpenShot, PinePhone and Open Hardware

Meeting Date

Update: Alisa had to postpone her presentation, but we will reschedule.

Christian Snyder worked on a digital storytelling project for Reception House, a local refugee settlement agency.

Christian will discuss the project and lead us through the technology decisions he made.
