Thanks. The bulk of the work was done with a new tool I wrote that consumes the schedule XML file and does the upload with the appropriate metadata: https://gitlab.gnome.org/afranke/conference-to-youtube I still have work to do on it for it to be more widely usable, which is why I haven’t advertised it yet, but the aim is to make it usable for any conference. > I'm not familiar with video recording practises with LAS GNOME and > GNOME Asia, but in any case would be great to have all been recorded > and published too.

Yes, channels are not mergeable, not splittable either, and videos cannot be transferred across channels. > So I'm proposing to consider renaming the GUADEC Youtube channel > (AFAIK the only conference channel active) LAS has a channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCraw5o0ELQgGcPqsnXOxUpw GNOME.Asia has one too but it’s not been used recently: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4xC9dsLPn2RbwQD01GJXRw > to something like «GNOME Conferences» or similar (GNOME Talks?) > suitable to host and publish talks of any technical talks, specially the > ones from the main conferences.

We can associate channel with GNOME by other means, but keeping them separate allows each conference to use their own identity and that’s a good thing. It also make it easier to find relevant content. -- Alexandre Franke GNOME Hacker _______________________________________________ engagement-list mailing list engagement-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/engagement-list
