[FOSS4G2016] Autoplaying vidoes on homepage

[Volker Mische]

Hi all,

I find it quite annoying that we outplay videos on the FOSS4G homepage.
The problem is that they are embedded a iframes, it would be better to
use the video tag. Here's an example:

    <video controls>
      <source
src="http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/misc/openstreetmap/FOSS4G-2016/foss4g-2016-1562-introduction_till-hd.webm"
type="video/webm">
        <source
src="http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/misc/openstreetmap/FOSS4G-2016/foss4g-2016-1562-introduction_till-hd.mp4"
type="video/mp4">
          I'm sorry; your browser doesn't support HTML5 video in WebM
with VP8 or MP4 with H.264.
    </video>

You can try it out at [1].

I've tried it on Linux on a recent Firefox and on Windows with Internet
Explorer 11. On both systems the video worked and did not autoplay.

Can anyone change that?
