Abstract (at least 300 words to describe your proposal)

Note to the program committee: This is a package of three related submissions. The workshops / joint presentations are divided into a content project part (efforts to create and use videos) and a technical part (creating a production house, tackling hurdles, cooperating with like-minded organisations for mutual improvement of our infrastructure). These submissions only request the standard length of 30 minutes to keep it crisp and focused. It allows the audience to choose exactly what they are interested while we still provide the full overview on all aspects. The third submission roundtable is a more internal round of people already involved or willing to get involved with the works behind the scene (organising content projects or dealing with the technical details).

TL;DR: content-oriented projects, what has been done
