I just asked. The videos are all 1080p and as big as 800 gb so it's stuck there.

It should be a bid criteria in the future for the host team to have a contractor capture video and make it available in a widely accessible manner. Time after time volunteers take on this burden but fail to follow through once the conference is over, and of course there is no accountability or after the fact alternative. _______________________________________________ Wikimania-l mailing list Wikimania-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimania-l

I think it's just wikimania 2013 that publishing videoes is an issue. I gave you an example in wikimania 2012 that video of the session has been published in youtube less than one month after the wikimania. (see my first e-mail) am I wrong and that video published more than one month after wikimania 2012? I looked for "history" tab in that link but it's youtube :D

Will 2014 london also follow similar path of predecessors?

While videos uploading were began late August, it wasn't until 22 December before (all except three) of the videos were available on YouTube. The closing ceremony were uploaded end of Jan / 1st Feb this year.

For the case of Wikimania 2013, we did outsource video-recording and streaming to SocRec, a local video journalism group. The streamed videos are still available on the SocRec website, and they left a HDD with all the footage at the end of Wikimania. A 3-9 month delay between the end of Wikimania and the uploading of videos has been the case for many past Wikimanias. One of the main concerns is cost: it would be considerably more expensive to contract the filming company to do all the post-production. If enough Wikimaniacs think it is important to have the videos available promptly, then it may be an idea for WMF to set aside funding for someone to work in the WMF datacenter after Wikimania to process and upload the videos... (I say in the datacenter rather than as part of the recording contract, because as many WM13 attendees have found, average upload speed from HK to WMF servers is less than 10kB/s) On 13 December 2013 19:36, Nathan <nawrich(a)gmail.com> wrote: _______________________________________________ Wikimania-l mailing list Wikimania-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimania-l

Kris Cheng, 12/12/2013 11:58: Stuck there where? Why can't you just upload them on archive.org and let their system do the necessary conversions/other users download and edit them as needed?
