Thanks everyone for joining us during the webinar, for asking your questions, and - most importantly - for fighting for encryption with us! ♥️💪🔐

@Tutanota
Would you like reasoned comment on the video after finish listening? (publicly or via DM let me know)

@freeschool Sure, let us know your feedback, we're curious.

@Tutanota VIDEO TALK REVIEW: MY COMMENTS / NOTES

TOPIC: Encryption, Quantum Computers, Tutanota Email

Overall good standard talk...

I've overwritten this to get it to you with speed and while my interest is still fresh about it's thoughts... so if you care also then you'll be able take the main points and also check long-term what matters....

------------------------------------
Short but Less Detailed Version

The format works and is simple enough to listen to without expecting it to be everything.

Both speakers good, but Vitor sometimes looking away more often than not sometimes which doesn't suit video but can also accept that's just his style - but if it's not then something of a bit more training is needed as presentation / engagement. Other than that good.

My main suggestion actually is:
- add pictorial info to post directly just so it's not so dry from it's own normal self as a message.
- maybe a link to a page for something more detailed if wanted for extended education but most important is picture in post for a bit more visual aid / clarity to topic and encouragement to click the topic from Mastodon / etc.
- At 44.20mins bug your lawmakers, need expanding on and bigger potential for change (also less need to be a computer engineer which much of computing seems to need and almost excluding as a result, and law is actually a big part but how to bug law makers / where to go could be a mini-project for each country)

(video topic is overall a bit hardcore so above would help grease the wheels of thought a bit).

Happy to audio chat about this at link like meet.jit.si/chataboutit

-------------------------------------------

BELOW IS MORE DETAILS AND CARE ON THE ABOVE

Notes about speaker:

Hanna is great, makes talk happen and works a lot with her.

Vitor is good also ...BUT have to mention he is always looking to side all the time. Like I wouldn't care but very distracting (wouldn't mind if it was audio!) mainly because sometimes it's actually looking to side more than looking elsewhere! So don't want to force him to look at me (!) but also not sure that looking away actually makes sense or is unmentionable as comment. I would live with it if that's just him but we all need formal / informal help on presenting.

-------------------------------------------

Sub-point details for 'more information' in posts...

- Add 1 or 2 basic Wikihow-style pictures in post, this style for example:
wikihow.com/Create-a-Network-D
Feel free to send me it and I'll give yay or nay on
but this link shows a picture in a style simple enough or could be simpler.

(sorry didn't look at your webpage for any pics as none was specifically listed! And also I didn't wanting to hunt for it to be honest as extra thing so this is also consideration for users... BUT I would have looked if picture was in post and also clicked link if added there as it's more relative to that particular talk and extension of it I could naturally and directly continue)

As a few more links this could also simply be Wikipedia for certain keywords and simple vocab for people like:

quantum computing en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_
different types of encryption [link]
new encryption concepts and visuals [link]
relationship diagram for the 'Alice and Bob type stuff' at 7.30mins
symmetric encryption 26.50mins
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetri

(above helps users understand what the topic and words mean and again as a component of main topic and learning overall)

A super link to help copy is this page to clarify words and concepts
gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-av

Page title: Words to Avoid (or Use with Care) Because They Are Loaded or Confusing - GNU Project - Free Software Foundation Vocab

At 7.30mins the example could be better / more streamlined
" Alice and Bobs secret message over untrusted network, with Eve who is interested in those messages".. isn't great
A real example like government or something could be more engaging (if you can mention without problem ) that's more realistic if not actual real world names and even recent every,

-------------------------------------------

More detail of types of pictures (if it's not clear already):

- very basic pictures diagrams
Basic big icons and arrows showing the flow or process
Almost slides but simplified

(this anyway probably you have or would re-use as education but gives it to people are inspiration to click but also to understand problem)

- and some link(s) in the post itself to further reading or more detailed version of the above shorter version inside the post in Mastodon to see natively (so this seems an informational video or update and not really asking any action from user so not sure what else to say apart from additional material or education compliments to the audio/video medium)

Direct to your own site for example if you already have a page (even if it's 404 later) or use keywords to show the search page or category rather than absolute link which could relate to keywords you mention in talk, for example:

-------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

- A few Wikihow type pictures and links would help.

- Once or twice maybe the examples were not to hand about where to go for info and just 'search for it' was the answer. Not always great.

--- Example of that at 38.50min - question was "a place to learn about encryption?".. answer was 'search the web or our website' - which is ok but could be for future always better to catch the same questions with something perfect as a link... and also why "we'll add a link in the description below" is really useful and why it works and not just a gimmick - people look at the text of video a lot. Need a definite source for reading about encryption etc so this could be something to work on if you don't have 1 specific link to point at the time or mitigate is by referencing notes or to about encryption or that question.

Direct links in post here make less need for people/newbies to hunt around or find exactly (because they are not already not sure what they would look for on your side or don't understanding things to look for it.

- 44.20 bug your lawmakers - this could be expanded on and unused - people don't feel empowered (including me) so we need help where to go or even who on Mastodon or place in Germany or various main places so we can literally go there and do these steps
"bug your law makers" is too remote and has been for a while so another thing to work on and project to stick to (100% is worthwhile and underdone so while not Tutanota.. it is actually Tutanota as it's all these things not just 1 thing else it fails)

Each post would is usually a starting point for learning potentially so helps to have a complete string of thought unless you're ok with more broken or partial parts of understanding, which I recommend as optional depth otherwise it's kinda disconnected or not owned as responsibility which is perhaps one eventual goal we all want as a society so we don't blame society all the time and have all the info in one string if we should want it.

WRAPPING UP- OVERALL Not bad...

If there is not education and engagement then it's kinda just news or a bit detached as news to end user (ideally we want participation)

Update video is ok but again could be more extended or specific in places or inside description...

Opportunity is always there to upgrade people's mind / get them looking at and working on 'this' instead of mainstream 'that',

@freeschool Thanks, that's some awesome feedback we'll keep in mind for future videos!

@Tutanota
Anytime. If you want to hear me talk about subjects on a friendly level here is a link:

freeschool.0id.org/?s=audio

Option are there, choose what topics you like - mostly human orientated with the technical things in mind, as it seems life is mostly a human problem or equation on top of everything else! And understandably not many want to work on that!
