<div dir="ltr"><div>HI,</div><div><br></div><div>Youtube has many obvious SEO and positioning advantages, but I'm doubtful of having all our videos on a privative platform like Google/Youtube, specially if we have enough "iron" to host ourselves. (See for example [1], we may have even more iron incoming). At least, I wouldn't have it as the primary entrypoint and storage of videos with such educational and state of the art value.<br></div><div><br></div><div>On a quick look I couldn't find any good explanation on the possible issues with Youtube and the license/IP. I assume you already checked for FOSSGIS and it is clear? I understand that "<strong>you grant to YouTube a non-exclusive, worldwide,</strong> perpetual license to freely sub-license, re-distribute, re-publish, monetize, and whatever they may want to do with your video"[2]. Would they be able to copy/paste and alter the video and then redistribute it in a way that is bad for OSGeo? (I know they have done some copy/paste to use for promotional videos, not sure if something else.)<br></div><div><br></div><div>They may monetize the videos. Are we ok with that?

<br>
FOSS4G is coming closer and we are planning to record all the videos <br>
from FOSS4G 2019 together with the c3voc-video team.<br>
<br>
They will be uploaded at<br>
* <a href="https://media.ccc.de/search/?q=FOSS4G" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://media.ccc.de/search/?q=FOSS4G</a><br>
* and at TIB AV-Portal <a href="https://av.tib.eu/search?q=FOSS4G&loc=de" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://av.tib.eu/search?q=FOSS4G&loc=de</a><br>
<br>
and if we want at youtube.<br>
<br>
I would like to suggest to create a youtube account called "FOSS4G" for <br>
the global FOSS4G event.<br>
<br>
This account does not exist yet.<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/foss4g" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/user/foss4g</a><br>
<br>
Advantage<br>
* with a permanent account people could subscribe<br>
* all videos from FOSS4G are in one account<br>
* better ranking for an active channel<br>
<br>
There are many accounts for the individual events like:<br>
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=FOSS4G" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=FOSS4G</a><br>
<br>
F.e. we have a similar accounts for FOSSGIS where we upload every year <br>
our FOSSGIS-conference videos here (maybe also the FOSS4G europe and NA <br>
videos if we want)<br>
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/fossgis/videos" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/user/fossgis/videos</a><br>
<br>
What do you think about this idea?<br>
<br>
