Dear Rex,

please tone down a little bit. The 2 Terabyte is the raw video. Once it is encoded, it will be a different size. And once it is on Commons, you can download it in multiple qualities automatically. However, the fact that it is 2 TB says something about how hard it is to transfer, how much video we're talking about, and how much work there is to be done. While I appreciate that you love to watch the videos (we all do), I urge you to consider that right now, it is a group of volunteers doing their best to manage things, after a very exhausting number of months organizing Wikimania. They do their best - keep your suggestions constructive please. 

Thanks,

Lodewijk

2TB? So you're gonna dump all that on WM Commons? For who to watch?

In fact, all those videos can be stripped down to less than 100 Gig (even down to 50Gig). 

No end viewer will enjoy watching an hour of conference presentations worth 50 Gig

Who's responsible for bringing these videos down-to-earth for end-viewers? Volunteers?

Osmar, Rex, et al,

At the moment all we have is a 2TB hard disk of all the videos, unedited and unsorted. (Now I can let all your questions answer themselves.)

Hi Deryck.
Can we upload some of the videos to Commons in the meantime? The streaming doesn't say how the videos are licensed so we can't use them (or part of them) yet.

All the sessions held in the Jockey Club Auditorium are still available on livestream:

The other sessions have been recorded but will take some time to be uploaded. (Expect this to take a few months based on past experience - we only have volunteers!)

I too would love to see the videos. Is there any news on where they're at?
The people who couldn't attend Wikimania, and the people who were
attending other sessions in the same timeslot, would all benefit so very
much!

The schedule page could be an awesome Table of Contents, but currently
it leads to a lot of "teasers"...

Also Slides -
Much thanks to those of you who've added your slides! If you haven't
yet, please do so.
If they're uploaded elsewhere, please also add them to commons (for
future preservation, in case prezi etc disappear), and group them in
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikimania_2013_presentation_slides

Thanks!
