True, although this seems more oriented for showing behind the scenes stuff. Also, I thought Youtube had a concept of channels where a single place could be referencing and advertising all of their channels? From what I can see it seems we can advertize other channels on the GNOMEDesktop channel but I don't know if videos from other channels then reaches out to the 4k followers we have there.. What do you think? If you have concerns, feel free to express them. If there are no major concerns I think we can probably expect to have the videos uploaded within a week. My concern when uploading to Youtube is that we're contributing to a centralized Internet, and as a Free Software project we should care about the decentralized Internet cause. Of course I'm aware that we'll still have the videos on the GNOME server, but that's not enough as people will lazily rely on Youtube in the end, or may even stumble upon things on Youtube and never even be aware that we actually offer the videos elsewhere (with slides and everything). The current strategy to confront this has been to explicitly upload to videos.guadec.org first and promote this video location through social media as the first class citizen (hoping the guadec servers can handle the traffic). But we also have 4000 subscribers on the GNOMEDesktop youtube channel and having the videos searchable from a platform as big as youtube can benefit us from an engagement POV. -Bastian ___ engagement-list mailing list engagement-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/engagement-list

Re: Celebrating GNOME's birthday
Love the post, Parth! *@All *- I've started a draft [1] https://www.gnome.org/wp-admin/post.php?post=6454action=edit of the birthday announcement on wordpress that I'd like to schedule to post tomorrow. I need your help: *General editing.* Can someone please proofread and help me edit the draft? I think it may have too much going on so feel free to hack it apart. I took some of Allan's suggestions from up above and included the original email announcement and a picture of Federico. I reached out to Miguel to see if he has time to send a recent picture too. *Formatting.* I don't know how to format wordpress properly, so can't add the breaks that I want. It looks a bit off now. *@Allan or Fabiana* - any chance you can help edit the formatting of the draft? I'd love to learn formatting tips from you later on IRC or a private email. *Filling in the Did you know? section. * I added a short section that is supposed to say how many current contributors we have, how many countries are represented, and how many stories we closed this year. The problem is, I don't know any of this info. I think some of you might - can anyone help either supply the info or point me out in the right direction? I will remove the section if nobody responds. Please feel free to suggest an alternative to these cool facts. It'd be great to include something most people don't know. Thank you again for your help, everyone! Especially given such short notice.

Re: [guadec-list] [General Info] Plan for GUADEC 2015 videos
We should definitely find a better location for GUADEC videos as we can't provide the bandwidth or the disk space for them to be hosted under the GNOME Infrastructure. About the FTP access: we don't and won't offer that as the Red Hat network where our machines currently live has the relevant port firewalled for security reasons. What we can probably do is investigating whether having torrents might work out long term. 2015-08-14 16:29 GMT+02:00 Luna Jernberg droidbit...@gmail.com: i would not mind a torrent with all the videos or an FTP connection for easier downloading it would be nice if you can fix that once everything is uploaded :) On Fri, Aug 14, 2015 at 11:31 AM, Tobias Mueller mue...@cryptobitch.de wrote: Hi!

Re: Celebrating GNOME's birthday
Hi All, Thanks again for a great crash course on what it means to be on the Engagement Team, everyone. It was great getting to know some of you, and I'm really looking forward to collaborating and getting to know more of you! FYI - I uploaded our BoF notes to the wiki page [1] https://wiki.gnome.org/Engagement/TeamMeetings/11-AUG-2015%20%28GUADEC%20BoF%29#preview and have started to add a high-level summary and action steps. I'll continue to update it and I encourage you all to add to it as well. Or, feel free to send questions you may have. Since this thread is about GNOME's birthday, I'll stick with that theme :) *Need your thoughts on what to post on Saturday* We need to post something on the website tomorrow. Do you guys think it'd be feasible to write a blurb about how GNOME started and feature the founders? Ideally, I'd love to add a photo of them then vs now. Any other ideas would be much appreciated. I'd love to have something interesting, that people will want to link to and post on social media.

I'm trying to get a better idea of how we are using each communication channel and would love to see what you have in mind. In case you already sent it, apologies. Thanks, all!
