Studios Reputation Rating, Rating Members with Beers
Wrote and defined the concept.
Beer is used as a Reputation Rating where users give a
beer to People, Projects, or Shots as a kudos. Users are limited in how they can get
beers to give away and how they can give them away is guided.
Facebook has "Likes." Studios has Beer. You can give someone a virtual Beer as a free and effortless way of thanking them for some work or showing support for what they're doing. View more...
The Beer each Member is allowed to give away is not unlimited.
Giving someone a Beer is a special occasion and only given away when truly deserved.
Each Member is issued a limited amount of beers they can give away and they are stored in
their fridge.
Ways that a Member can get Beers that they can give away, Beers
for their fridge
1Get a Beer to give away for joining MB Studios (Email
explaining what the Beer is and how to use the Beer they received.)
2Level 1 Members will get one Beer for every week they
are active on the site, have logged in at least once. (Notification for beer
received)
3Level 2 Members will get two Beers for every week they
are active on the site, have logged in at least once. (Notification for beer
received)
4Level 3 Members will get three Beers for every week
they are active on the site, have logged in at least once. (Notification for
beer received)
5For every 100 Beers you get from other Members, a Beer
will be added to your Fridge that you can give away. (Notification for beer
received)
6Every time a Producer pays a Crew Member, a Beer will
be added to their Fridge. (Notification for beer received included with your
Thanks for Paying notification)
7Every time a Member gets paid for participating in a
project, a Beer will be added to their Fridge. (Notification for beer received
included with your Congratulations you got paid notification)
Things a Member can Give a Beer to:
These are Beers they can drink and don’t get added to their
Fridge. This is a reputation score based on good deeds, or congratulations for
things done on the site.
1A Member can give a Beer to another Member, but they
give it to their Profile
2A Member can give a Beer to a Comment on a Take, Shot,
or Project
3A Member can give a Beer to a Project, Shot, or Take
directly
4An Administrator can give a Beer to a Members Profile
for a Good Deed, reporting inappropriate content, suggesting a stellar feature,
or reporting some bugs.
Your reputation or that of your Project is not based on how
much Beer you have in your Fridge, but rather how much Beer has flowed your
way. Your Beer score, how many Beers you’ve received from other Members, or
from an Administrator is used to measure your trustworthiness, or reputation on
the site. Will this person pay me on time? Will they do good work for me? Or
will they flake out? We need some way of knowing this, but we need to be
careful to not create the kind of culture that exists at eBay where people are
so obsessed with their feedback that it begins to take precedence in their mind
over simply being a good citizen in the community.
MB Studios Beers FAQ
What’s a Beer score?
Giving Beers is a way to show appreciation good work and good
deeds within Magic Bullet Studios. Members don’t give Beers to you
directly—they award Beers to your work and activity. Your Beer Score is the sum
of all the Beers you’ve ever received for your Takes, Shots, Projects, Comments
and good deeds.
A high beer score shows other Members that you are an active
positive contributor. As a Team member on a Shot you deliver quality work on
time. As a Producer you can be trusted to work professionally with crew and to
pay them in full and on time.
What’s the Fridge for?
Your Fridge contains the Beers you have available to share with
other Members. These Beers are replenished automatically based on your activity
on the site and your membership level.
When you join Magic Bullet
Studios, you’ll find a Beer in your Fridge, ready to give away.
Artists get one Beer for
every week they are active on the site, having logged in at least once.
Producers get two Beers for
every week they are active on the site, having logged in at least once.
Executive Producers get 3
Beers for every week they are active on the site, having logged in at least
once.
For every 100 Beers you get
from other members, a Beer will be added to your Fridge.
Every time a Producer pays
a Crew member, a Beer will be added to the Producer’s Fridge.
Every time a member gets
paid for participating in a Project, a Beer will be added to their Fridge.
What’s the difference
between my Beer Score and the Beers I have in my Fridge?
Your Beer Score is your reputation that everyone can see. It is
not based on how much Beer is in your Fridge, but how many Beers has flowed
your way. These Beers were given to you by other Members. They don’t go into
your Fridge and they can’t be given to other Members (because you drank them,
silly!). The Fridge is your supply of beers to give to other members and can
only be seen by you.
Why are Beers important?
Beers are a measure of goodwill and endorsement. Because you
don’t have an infinite supply of Beers to give out it means something when you
“buy someone a beer” to show appreciation for their work.
If you’re wondering whether a Producer is likely to pay on
time, or an artist can deliver the goods, a glance at their Beer Score will
tell you a lot.
How to use Beer?
It’s great to give someone a Beer and lovely to receive one—but
as in life, Beers should be enjoyed, not abused. Allow your Beer Score to be an
organic, social reflection of your positive experiences on Magic Bullet
Studios. If you catch yourself trying to boost your score artificially, not
only are you using the site wrong, but you’ll find your misplaced efforts will
not be rewarded.

Truckee Trails History
For thousands of years, Native Americans used trails to
migrate through the Truckee Basin hunting large game, fishing and gathering
medicinal plants. The earliest known Europeans to travel through the Truckee
Basin were Spanish explorer-priests who, in 1776, were hoping to discover an
overland route from New Mexico to Monterey, California while spreading
Christianity among Indians. In the 19th century, Emigrants traveled the Truckee trails in search
of a better life. Agriculture was also a significant part of the development
of Truckee trails. To escape the heat of the central valley, ranchers moved
their herds of cattle north to the Sierra Nevada Mountains where the Truckee
Basin became their summer pasture.
Today the trails are used for fun and adventure, for
hiking, biking, horseback riding, and skiing. Truckee Trails Foundations goal is
to provide the Truckee area with a network of trails and bike paths for fun,
adventure, and alternative transportation. We hope this first-ever Truckee Bike Route Map will be a
useful guide for your on-street and off-the-beaten-path exploration of all that
Truckee has to offer. The map includes all existing on-street bike lanes and
bike routes, as well as locations of mountain bike trailheads in and around
Truckee. Enjoy your adventures and please write us at info@truckeetrails.org to
tell us about them! For more information visit www.truckeetrails.org

The show was a one-day event scheduled from 1pm to 8pm with
attendance of 3300, the largest expo yet. Now in it’s 3rd year
running this show keeps growing every year. Adobe participated in the free workshop series and drew 144
attendees, of which about ½ were current Production Studio users. I took
advantage of the targeted audience to create a workshop that would walk users
through the HD production process and answer some of the questions regarding
acquisition formats and how they translate to post-production, the best
mastering format for a given production and distribution for SD, HD, DVD, as
well as web and mobile using flash. Using an HP nw9440, supplied by HP, I
wanted to show off-line pre-visualization and live capture into a portable
workstation while partnering with Matrox to complete the on-line
post--production with multiple formats and resolutions. The workshop highlighted
the strengths of Adobe software by taking a project seamlessly from Ingest to
Distribution focusing on our entire creative suite of products and how they
link together. Jacob Rosenberg put together the assets, the workflow and
expanded wonderfully on the theme of the workshop by creating some real world
examples and utilizing the newest and most popular cameras. I wanted to do a
live capture while utilizing audience participation to keep people engaged and
Jacob expanded on that idea to create a candid and live workshop style where
typical workflow actions were dissected and discussed. Jacobs report included the input that Panasonic and Canon
seemed to be heavy players for the users who came up to him during the break;
the new Sony v1 camera was also a hot topic. There were a good number of
CineForm questions, but the emphasis does seem to be shifting to HDV and HDV
workflows. There were lots of requests for native p2 support and curiosity
about the timing of delivering HD-DVD / Blu-Ray authoring. People still ask why
there aren’t Sony FX1 or Z1 presets in the Device listing as those cameras did
come out before 2.0 and that led to a general questioning of updating support
for cameras. Jacob Rosenberg, “Clearly HD Expo is the new DV Expo (what it was 5 years ago),
but the crowd is much smarter and much more invested. I think with the release
of the cheaper HDV cameras we are finally seeing a migration from DV to HDV and
thus performance and camera support will be critical moving forward.” Jacob put his slides from the workshop on in a public
directory and had more than 165 direct hits less than a week after the show and
219 to date. I did shoot the workshop and Jacob has offered to edit it together
for anyone who would want to watch it. He promises to edit out at least part of
the projector crashes. I asked partners to co-sponsor booths at the expo to promote
a consistent Adobe OpenHD message. Matrox, Cineform, AJA, Blackmagic and
Bluefish were all in attendance displaying OpenHD banners and collateral while
demonstrating OpenHD turnkey solutions. Matrox failed again by not supplying a
system the day before the show opened, so we could load the content from the
workshop and repeat the workflow from the workshop in the booth. With AJA,
Cineform, Matrox and Blackmagic all lined up next to each other and Adobe across
the isle it displayed a very concise message for Adobe OpenHD. Baring the
issues with Kinko’s canceling my job, which included the banners, signage and
raffle collateral, I was able to get everything resolved the morning of the
show, good thing Kinko’s is open 24hrs! Though Champion, HD Expo support, lost
the DHL package that included the raffle prize, a Production Studio bundle, it
turned out to be a huge success and the package was recovered minutes before
the raffle. Over 260 attendees filled out survey forms to enter in the contest.
The HD Expo organizers liked the idea of the raffle so much that they gave us a
complementary booth just for the raffle and the OpenHD messaging. In the Adobe
booth I asked Kevan O’brian to set up the mobile workstation, a Dell M90 that
was provided for us by Dell, so we could focus on Production Studio running on
a portable solution. We also received over 35 leads in addition to the 260
surveys. The show exceeded our expectations in many ways. The booth was
overflowing the entire afternoon. Kevan didn’t have a chance to grab a cup of
coffee even when I came to relieve him. He was an incredible asset to the show
with his knowledge and aptitude. Kevan stayed glued to his computer for 7 hrs.
Kevan also provided help in setting up the workshop and the booth. With his bag
of tools and tricks, he was able to supply us with a DVI to VGA converter, a
router and be the test subject for the live capture. With Kevan and Jacob’s unwavering support, resourcefulness
and flexibility a show that could have gone down in history as the one that
whatever can go wrong did go wrong, turned out to be the most successful
demonstration of Adobe OpenHD to date. Susan Tussy was also in attendance during part of the show.
She was able to speak with many of our partners who were pleased with the
quantity and quality of people who were coming through the booths.
Panasonic told her that they ran out of literature fairly early because
they didn’t expect as many people as they got. DV 411 was there on behalf of
Bluefish and the VP of Marketing told Susan that DV expo was a waste and that
SIGGRAPH was also a waste, but that this show was a good one. They also stated
that HD Expo and NAB were the worthwhile shows and that Adobe did it right by
participating, unlike Avid who did not. DV411 got some great solid leads.
CineForm was there with their SI camera and 2K solution, which got a lot of
attention at the show. Thad from AJA said they were getting everything from
event videographers to Warner Bros coming by their booth. Susan Tussy “By lining up all our partners side-by-side in booths with
the same banner it looked like we took over a whole aisle. It was great…I think
the partner involvement worked well and that we should seriously look at
participating in more OpenHD shows and workshops. I highly recommend participating in this show in the future with more partner
participation and more involvement with HD Expo’s ongoing workshops. HD Expo is
a way to reach a specific demographic that reflects why Adobe OpenHD was
established and supports a market that is on the bottom of the bell curve and
just starting to move up.
