Elastic Volunteer Time Off case study video

[daverick]

At Elastic they propose me to make a video to promote internally ( and maybe externally to ;-) ) their VTO (volunteering time off) program. As elastician we have 5 paid days per year to volunteer to “ create time for community engagement opportunities that are meaningful, purposeful and help those in need.”
As you may know #58 I am trying to organize a program at codebar so that anybody with a VTO program or something similar at their company can user codebar.
They would like to film me it at a codebar workshop, maybe film a beneficiary too and take ambience footage too.

Do you agree that codebar will be used that way? Do you agree that a team come to a workshop and film?

Let’s discuss it!

Question:
So they want to film a codebar workshop or they want to film whatever VTO activity is organized?
and what does "maybe film a beneficiary too and take ambience footage" mean?

• in any case, I think everything that can give codebar more visibility is good, if everyone gets benefit from it. :)
  thanks!!

They are filming others VTO activities too.
They would like to film the workshop and a interview a student too.

I agree with @raquelalvear that it would be good to give more visibility to the codebar project. As long as we ask for permission from everyone who will appear in the video, then it LGTM. I think this is a great initiative.

Is this issue only about the filming or also to discuss the VTO event/workshop... ?

[daverick]

@raquelalvear only the video. The volunteering program is #58
