Hello. Video presentations from the last GHM will soon be available on audio-video.gnu.org , thanks to the gracious work by Christopher Dimech who actually took care of shooting.
Before I can upload your presentation I need your consent on publishing the video, under a reasonable license. On audio-video we tend to use Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International for videos, but some reasonable alternative can be found -- disjunctive licenses also including CC-SA-4.0 being particularly unproblematic. More permissive licenses such as CC-BY are also perfectly okay, and Christopher's arguments in favor of allowing modifications on a wider range of distributed works might apply here. I would also like to link presentation files from the same page showing the videos; Alex, were you collecting them? Of course keeping the files on the main www.gnu.org web server -- for example in the GHM 2017 directory -- is fine. If a copy of your presentation is to be hosted anywhere on gnu.org it needs an explicit license as well -- and it's better to have one in any case. I'd recommend the same CC-SA-4.0 or CC-BY-4.0 for simplicity, but again some reasonable alternative can be found. By the way, I think the main information on http://www.gnu.org/ghm should be moved to a subdirectory, to join the past editions. This will avoid broken links later. So, if you gave a presentation at GHM 2017, please reply to this message (in private if you prefer) with the following information: (a) whether you would like your video to be published (b) if (a), what license to use for it (CC-SA 4.0 or CC-BY 4.0 suggested) (c) if (a), what license to use for your slides (CC-SA 4.0 or CC-BY 4.0 suggested) If you have already sent a copy of your slides to Alex you don't need to send another to me. Alex, can you please send me a tarball with any presentations you have received off-list? Stable URLs are also okay if not better, in case you have already published them. Linking from audio-video to www is better than the opposite; audio-video will be reorganized at some point, and I'm not sure if the current URLs are supposed to be kept.
