Small correction to your post. The judge’s name is “Mark Surman”. You can see by looking at my name why I was confused. http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/press/bios/#bio-surman

That being said, I am involved in education. I head up mobile development at Instructure, maker of the open source LMS, Canvas. OER is something we are watching very closely.

I agree that the panel of judges should have someone from the OER community on it. They would help to ensure that the vision of OER is represented in the winning videos.
