TLDR; Please don't push videos to YouTube only, at least also upload to archive.org for accessibility and free formats availability. Put a clear license on any material. Hi Drew, all, I'm my opinion YouTube's ToS are incompatible with several core values of software freedom and the LibreOffice project specifically: http://www.youtube.com/t/terms In the spirit of coherence with the LibreOffice project (ie. free, open formats) and accessibility of such files, can we *not* upload them *exclusively* to YouTube ? To me this is very much the equivalent of publishing software under a non-free license, without its source code. I see there's already one message in this thread asking how to get offline versions of such videos. I've raised this concern before, and wrote a guide on how to upload videos to archive.org: http://www.wikihow.com/Upload-Videos-to-Archive.Org-and-Make-Them-Available-in-Free%2C-Open-Formats I must emphasize I can't force anyone not to upload to YouTube only, but by doing so you're sending a confusing message - that you and TDF and/or any of the marketing team members, specially when doing so at an event, agree to YouTube's ToS. It's also not ideal for anyone wanting to remix / reuse such videos. With such limited resources any and all material we produce should ideally have a clear license, include source files on a server where ToS permit its free, unlimited, unrestricted use. I don't mean to come across harsh, and I believe 99% of the time there's only good intentions when sharing via YouTube but we need to get smarter at this ;) Cheers, -- LibreOffice questions ?
