The FW answer by Peter bounced, so I forward it to the list for further 
discussion, please also keep Peter in the loop in further discussion.

We are operating a web portal for scientific video ("TIB|AV-portal") as  a service to the public since 2014. TIB actively acquires scientific and technical content in the field of information technology / computer sciences / informatics in both German and English. In this field, TIB has already been acquiring video recordings from OSGeo conferences on national (-> german FOSSGIS conferences) and global level (FOSS4G). This year, the collection will be extended to include the recordings from FOSS4GNA (which is on right now). We're also busy harvesting videos from previous OSGeo-conferences from unreliable (in our mind) platforms like Youtube to preserve older content.
> All video content in the AV-portal has passed quality-checks by the TIB subject librarians, has received a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) to make it scientifically citable and is being processed to enable OCR- and voice-to-text-based queries about the content. TIB does not charge for this service. The videos are archived according to modern library standards which will ensure that they can be reliably assessed in the future. If the licence allows (it usually does for OSGeo videos), videos can be downloaded by the user, we even send them on a DVD via surface mail, if postage & handling are covered.
