Phoebe,
as a board member, can you make sure no more decision on next Wikimania host is made unless something like a propper "conference content guideline" is created and made mandatory for the next host?
My guideline proposal: - presentations have to made accesible under free license - host will put all presentations and video footage online within X days of end of conference (under free license again)
I think this would be enough and any host would be happy to comply.
Cheers, Kozuch

Well, it seems that every year we choose locations that for one reason or the other are likely not to be accessible to some groups or nationality (I hear complaints every year about these issues)(no judgements, just a fact). So I agree that this uploading issue should be faced once for all, setting up a workflow with WMF technicians that would allow videos and slides to be online in reasonable time.

Yes! if we can set up a system for media upload *before* the next conference to try and address this issue, which does come up every year, that would be fantastic.
Copying wikitech :) The problem: how and where should we annually upload video and slides from ~100 conference presentations, keeping them freely & easily accessible and the metadata (such as links to papers, submission pages, wikipages of notes, etc) intact?
