On Wikidata we have P4419 for VideoLectures. There are only 47 linked at
the moment.

For KDD 2010 at http://videolectures.net/kdd2010_washington/ the three
invited talks have 1500 views (I do not know what a VideoLectures "view"
is, whether it is a complete view or just starting the video).
An opportunity with videos on Commons is to describe them on Wikidata so
that they can be queried with the Wikidata Query Service and become more
discoverable. We have recently started to add handling of events to
Scholia https://tools.wmflabs.org/scholia/. It would be interesting to
include videos to the Scholia pages describing scientific meetings.
Encouraging conference speakers to upload screencast could be another
possibility.
I wonder if there is any statistics on Wikimedia Commons video views?
As a P.S.: I find it interesting that videos can be reused out of
context, e.g., Wikinews videos on Korean matters were reused on the
page on Robert Kelly:

Hi Nicolas,
While I appreciate the desire and commitment to be open by default and
I am big supporter of Aaron's reminders to all of us for staying open
as much as we can, I'd like to put some different perspective here, as
the topic of video-recording for academic conferences has been
relatively hot in the past few years. :)
I do believe that the organizers of academic conferences (and I
emphasize on the academic component, I do have very different
perspectives for a conference such as Wikimania or an event like
WikiCite) should consider cost tradeoffs very carefully when choosing
to record the sessions at all or not. For context, I'm the general
co-chair for The Web Conference 2019 (a.k.a., WWW2019) and we actively
discuss this topic in the context of that conference. Some things to
consider:
* The cost of recording (almost) all sessions, depending on where you
organize the conference can be really high. For example, for a
conference in San Francisco, unless the conference is organized on a
federal land (which is not the case for TWC2019), we cannot have
volunteers recording the sessions. Professional crew will have to do
it, and one will have to look at the costs carefully. We will be
talking certainly about more than $150K.
* KDD has been doing recording of many of its sessions in the past
couple of years. The view counts of these videos are not very high. I
understand that view counts is not the only measure of success for a
video, but I also would argue that if the cost is very high, and
resources are constrained, someone should look into the value the
recording will bring for the global community of researchers.
* In the limited subset of conferences I attend or I'm in network of,
year in and year out, Networking is chosen as the top reason for
coming to the conference. Many choose to attend a few talks and spend
the rest of the time just talking to people. :) Just today a colleague
reminded me of this: people who attend these conferences have already
decided what is the most valuable item for them in this conference.
Why should we take the second or third most favorite part of the
conference and record it for others? Why don't we focus on the top
commodity and make it available to those who can't attend? This is
something to keep in mind.
* Someone should seriously look into this, but there is argument to be
made that if the money spent on recording is very large compared to
the size of the budget for the conference, channeling that to student
scholarships and providing an opportunity to students who normally
would not make it to these conferences to experience the networking
side of the conference (which is rated very high usually in surveys)
can be a better choice. I'm not talking about providing scholarships
to the students who would make it anyway, but thinking carefully about
those who would never make it on their own unless we would proactively
reach out to them and help them make the journey happen.
Good luck with organizing OpenSym. I have even a bigger respect now
that I'm at this side of a big conference for people like you and your
colleagues who stand up, many times as volunteers, and make these
conferences happen. :)
Best,
Leila

Hello,
our plan is that they will, we are committed to that, but also that the
papers are accessible before the presentation.
Olivier and Georg, in cc, are already working on that aspect.
My philosophy is that the goal of the presentations (and of being in Paris)
must be to interact better, to build on the research presented, in a world
to have time to co-construct the next steps.
But, of course, if you guys reading cannot be in Paris with us (August
22-24), we will make our best to provide you with the tools to be connected
with the conference

Hi Nicolas!
Thanks for sending the CFP. Any chance that the talks will be
live-streamed this year? :)

About the Conference
--------------------
OpenSym is the only conference that brings together the different
strands of open collaboration research and practice, seeking to
create synergies and inspire new collaborations between people from
computer science, information science, social science, humanities,
and everyone interested in understanding open collaboration and how
it is changing our society.
This year’s conference will be held in Paris, France on August
22-24, 2018. A Doctoral Symposium will take place on August 21, 2018.
OpenSym is held in-cooperation with ACM SIGWEB and ACM SIGSOFT and
the conference proceedings will be archived in the ACM digital
library like all prior editions.
Submission Information and Instructions
---------------------------------------
Topics: The conference provides peer-reviewed research tracks on
subjects related to open collaboration including:
- Open Collaboration Research, esp. Wikis and Social Media
- Free/Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS)
- Open Data, Open Access, and Open Science
- Open Education
- IT-Driven Open Innovation
- Open Policy/Open Government/Open Law
- Wikipedia and Wikimedia Research
Paper Presentation: OpenSym 2018 will be organized as a one track
conference in order to emphasize the interdisciplinary character of
this conference and to encourage discussion.
Submission Deadline: The research paper submission deadline is March
15th 2018. Submitted papers should present integrative reviews or
original reports of substantive new work: theoretical, empirical,
and/or in the design, development and/or deployment of novel
concepts, systems, and mechanisms. Research papers will be reviewed
to meet rigorous academic standards of publication. Papers will be
reviewed for relevance, conceptual quality, innovation and clarity
of presentation.
All the submissions are done via the EasyChair platform, here:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=opensym2018
<https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=opensym2018>
Paper Length: There is no minimum or maximum length for submitted
papers. Rather, reviewers will be instructed to weigh the
contribution of a paper relative to its length. Papers should report
research thoroughly but succinctly: brevity is a virtue. A typical
length of a “long research paper” is 10 pages (formerly the maximum
length limit and the limit on OpenSym tracks), but may be shorter if
the contribution can be described and supported in fewer
pages—shorter, more focused papers (called “short research papers”
previously) are encouraged and will be reviewed like any other
paper. While we will review papers longer than 10 pages, the
contribution must warrant the extra length. Reviewers will be
instructed to reject papers whose length is incommensurate with the
size of their contribution. Papers should be formatted in ACM SIGCHI
paper format. Reviewing is not double-blind so manuscripts do not
need to be anonymized.
Posters: As in previous years, OpenSym will also be hosting a poster
session at the conference. To propose a poster, authors should
submit an extended abstract (not more than 4 pages) describing the
content of the poster which will be published in a non-archival
companion proceedings to the conference. Posters should use the ACM
SIGCHI templates for extended abstracts. An example of a poster
abstract can be found here. Reviewing is not double-blind so
abstracts do not need to be anonymized.
Paper Proceedings: OpenSym is held in-cooperation with ACM SIGWEB
and ACM SIGSOFT and the conference proceedings will be archived in
the ACM digital library like all prior editions. OpenSym seeks to
accommodate the needs of the different research disciplines it draws
on including disciplines with archival conference proceedings and
disciplines where authors usually present at conferences and publish
later. Authors, whose submitted papers have been accepted for
presentation at the conference have a choice of:
having their paper become part of the official proceedings, archived
in the ACM Digital Library,
having their paper published in the conference website only, with no
transfer of copyright from the authors,
having no publication record at all but only the presentation at the
conference.
Response from authors: For the second time at OpenSym, authors will
be given the opportunity to write a response to their reviews before
final decisions are made. This should be treated as an opportunity
to correct any mistakes or misconceptions in the reviews as well as
to propose minor changes that the authors can make during the two
weeks between notification and the camera-ready deadline.
Important Dates
Submission deadline: March 15, 2018
Reviews sent to authors: May 11, 2018
Response to reviews from authors due: May 20, 2018
Final decision notification: June 15, 2018
