Happy Xmas everyone!

Is there any news in this area?
I'm asking because I know the two guys that put most of the videos for the contest -- I encouraged them to do so.
Their motivation was not to win a prize, but to get in touch with a community. In december, they asked me a lot about the results -- now they gave up :(
Any feedback about this part of the contest would be nice, be it that there is no prize due to the very low number of contributions.
Thanks!
Hi Bastien,
thanks for reminding. We have been poking them as well, I believe Maarten sent another reminder last week. I'm sorry it is taking longer than expected, but unfortunately this is also outside my influence. Maarten, I assume you don't have any news yet?

Where did you poke them? They told me they received nothing on their talk page, and nothing in the mail box they gave for their wiki account...

No problem -- just thought I would send a gentle reminder :)
Maarten, I assume you don't have any news yet?

Who is they exactly? :) We have been in touch with our contact at Beeld&Geluid / Sound&Vision who would take care of this. Maarten is our contact to them, his last message is still from January.

Ah, then you misunderstood me probably :) We didn't poke the participants, but the sponsoring (and juroring) organization.

Okay -- thanks for the clarification! I'll explain things more in details to the participants so that they don't feel frustrated against the community :)
Got it. Will try to make a blog post tonight. Who wants to help? Join me on #wikilovesmonuments in about an hour.

Hi folks,
Has any thought been given to organized uploads of >100 MB videos?
Being forced to reduce video quality dramatically can be kind of a downer for contributors, and it would be great if we had a better interface or something for decent-sized videos coming through an approved outreach project.
This also applies to the prospects of increasing university course video projects:

Do you expect many >100MB uploads on WLM 2012? Uploads larger than 100MB are already possible (for instance, dmcdevit is doing one tomorrow), but they need the involvement of someone with shell access. Which hasn't been too problematic, given that uploading through HTTP isn't the most reliable way to do it. Upload by url is a viable solution for approved outreach projects, it's likely to be available on 1.20 deployment (not going to happen on 1.19, as domain limitation (r109562) was reverted). But won't for a random user. You can advertise that upload of larger files is possible, and direct your users to an email address. We can manage it when it comes.

Hi,
I have put up the blog post in draft quite a while ago, but there are two problems: * I was unable to insert the video properly - and I dont understand well how it should happen * There are a few pieces of text missing, which I cannot fill in.
I added the html at the bottom of the etherpad. If anyone can get it working, I can just push publish, but I'm unable to solve the two points above.
Best, Lodewijk

Er, the code to insert the video *is* on the Etherpad, and does work.

I tested both codes on Wordpress - works like a charm (there is a tiny bit of disgraceful Commons logo if you are logged on Commons, for some reason, but it does work).

OK, the video problem has been resolved with JF's magical fingers. Now only the textual parts remain. ~~~~
