Open aoloe opened 10 years ago

should we provide a solution for managing the captation or should we keep on leaving it to those who are actually doing them?

[manuel] As it looks now:

From LGM 2014, Michael has made the videos available here:
http://download.gimp.org/pub/gimp/lgm/2014/

For the previous years, from 2007 to 2011, videos are on River Valley TV: http://river-valley.tv/conferences/lgm-2011 Actually those videos are played via youtube, through the rivervalleytv channel. http://www.youtube.com/user/rivervalleytv/playlists

For LGM 2012: some videos are on Youtube, via the account of Timothée Giet: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL095A40A9E5123EF6&feature=view_all

For LGM 2013: the videos are here: http://medialab-prado.es/article/lgm_2013

"Only someone with admin access to LGM's page at Google+ can create a branded YouTube channel for the conference."

So, questions are:

Personnally, I see the plus/minus of Youtube as follows: (-) It's Google. (-) Interface does not provide direct download button. (+) Transcodes files in different codecs, including Webm. (+) Transcodes files in several resolutions, down to 144p for low bandwidth. (+) Allows to "jump" quickly through the video file to find the interesting parts. (+) Allows to publish under a CC BY license.

So, if the mission statement is to make the videos widely accessible, using Youtube seems a reasonable choice to me.

It would be great to support another open source project by giving them our trust.

Even if we have a media goblin account, we'll need the videos to be mirrored on youtube in order to take advantage of their network effects. Of course all links to videos should be to a mediagoblin page and back/forward link on youtube should point to MG.

Mirroring content is getting to be quite common as groups try to deal with the growing power of established network effects.

Perhaps something to encourage in the media goblin project is a way to control further publishing of the media. The idea that I can upload an artwork to mediagoblin and have it go to deviatArt, youtube or hat have you seems very useful. Especially when we want to deal with multiple platforms to have multiple networks to effect.
