First of all thanks for replying and... Ouch! After that I hope
D Foundation learned the lesson and keep the videos themselves
instead of relying in third party next time.
2017 was the last time the Foundation did not obtain copies of
the videos. The YouTube channel started in 2018 and from that
time and on into the future the Foundation has hosted and will
host all of the DConf videos. And we'll soon have our own copies
of all of the 2015 videos in case the UVU channel goes away some
day.
I think it's time to have a Wayback Machine version for videos.
A few of the 2013/14 videos are in the Internet Archive. They
have to be uploaded manually. Someone created a D account for it
and uploaded them there at some point. When I created the
Foundation's channel, I downloaded those and ripped the rest of
the 2013/14 videos from various YouTube accounts, then uploaded
them to our channel. So we have everything now except the
2016/17 copies.
