I think some level of splitting-the-difference may be in order: I absolutely understand Andrei's reasoning and agree some level of staggering may be worthwhile for purposes of keeping D on the general public's radar. However, ten weeks is indeed a bit long, particularly if it's a deliberate staggering instead of simply a "lack of time" matter. And it does come across a bit disrespectful to those of us who wanted to go but couldn't. Additionally, does it really make D look good if people notice "It took them two and a half months just to upload some videos?" Assuming there isn't also a "lack of time" issue getting in the way, I think spreading it all across one month sounds more reasonable. Plus, there's no reason we can't just simply delay announcing to reddit/ycombinator/etc.
