Hi everyone,
The videos from the Wikimania sessions are now available on Commons: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikimania_2023_conference_video_...
Huge thanks to everyone who helped make them available – there were many videos to split, prepare and upload, a lot of work to be done.
Best,

Thank you for the update! Great that it is done...any more info on the process? Who exactly helped and how much work was this to get to this? IMHO these individuals deserve more than just being 'everyone' and 'thanks' - no? ;-) Also if there is capacity it would be desirable for files to get linked data somehow https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Wikimania_2023_-_AfroCR... or we just store on Commons as a free alternative to YouTube? Hope not.

Hi Z
Gisca co-ordinated the process using a group of volunteers to cut the daily recordings into single events. Some of them did upload to Commons but the majority of that effort came from Butch.

Hi Gnangarra
I do not know who Gisca is (no such username), but from your input I see volunteers might remain anonymous (was that their explicit wish?). Good to see that Butch was able to close that part of work. I would still appreciate it if there is more info to be shared as openly as possible and credit all who worked on it in an adequate way.
For example QW2023 (1,5 tracks on 3days x6-7hours with 2,5 languages) it took more than a week of work for a highly skilled professional just to get it to YouTube in a good way...we could do better and more still, but feasibility is something to discuss and will remain open if we can not manage these workflows in informed and transparent way, so it is possible to learn and advance, especially with Wikimania.

Hi Zeljko
Video does require specific skills, better equipment, and good software; it's not a common skill set or expense most contributors will invest in, webm is less supported even by the FLOSS community. It's not about being informed and transparent, its about having the skills, equipment, and software then sharing or making it available to the community. We also need to invest in presenting support and quality video recording using microphones, tripods, and lighting. The development of 720p through to 8k has been rapid and its been focused on mp4 not webm
While it's still at very early stages I have started asking that video editing resources be invested in if we are going to sustain hybrid events as a core part of Wikimania and other events. I have asked the Steering committee to look at support capacity as well as some of the affiliates I have volunteered with.
Most of the volunteers came from those that got scholarships as it was part of the requirement that they support the event as a volunteer in some way. Gisca is the amazing WMF staff member who supported the scholars and other attendees with travel needs, as well as volunteer roles.

Thanks for this work - the documentation of these sessions is useful and not trivial, unfortunately. It's a challenge every year.
I remember trying to help out at some point, and getting stuck, giving up for the day, returning later and getting stuck in a different way. The process is definitely intricate (thanks to the , and I feel it might benefit from a more detailed documentation so that perhaps next year it'll be a little easier to set up. I'm very glad others did figure it out, but if there's a way I can help proofread/improve documentation and get it consolidated on the wiki, let me know.
Best, Lodewijk

Hi Everyone,
The compilation of all videos and presentation files are housed on Wikimania wiki at https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2023:Program
The etherpad links are also there. Not all sessions have recorded notes or it might have been written on a different name. The notes were scribed by some of the participants on Wikimania scholarship.
Similar copies of the videos placed in playlists are on the Foundation's YouTube account (https://youtube.com/@TheWikimediaFoundation) and on Wikimania Facebook account. ( https://www.facebook.com/watch/100075922996558/1343055216309106/)
Some presentation files are on https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikimania_2023_presentations . Some speakers haven't uploaded their slides, but I am happy you inform you that there are close to 200 Wikimania 2023 slides are already on commons.
Kind regards,
Butch
