 It was noted on OSGeo SAC IRC that peertube is commonly used for sharing
 videos.  So might be a good option to store all FOSS4G videos and project
 trainings.

 Docs:  https://docs.joinpeertube.org/install-any-os?id=installation

 Services such as

 https://video.blender.org and

 fsf europe  https://media.fsfe.org/about/instance

 use it

 In reviewing it, key features I like about it.

 1) Runs on PostgreSQL for backend
 2) Supports LDAP for authentication
 3) Has a peer to peer setup (have to review this) so you can federate with
 other instances to share bandwidth.  It's unclear to me though how easily
 it is for you to choose.  E.g. we'd probably want to federate with other
 OS projects, but not necessarily anybody.  We might also want to set up
 instances on cloud to better distribute our bandwidth based.

 rduivenvoorde, also noted we have a Video Committee -

 that should be involved in this decision.
