Hi Martin,

the GRASS GIS Story has already been uploaded by someone to Youtube 
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3Hf0qI4JLc). Uploading it a second time won't 
do harm, but neither will solve some Youtube-related issues:

Youtube does not allow for advanced search queries on the movies' content: The 
version already available on Youtube can _not_ be found by the search queries 
like "GRASS GIS William Shatner". Further, there is no proper way to _cite_ the 
movie in a publication. In my feeling the movie has already become a historical 
document for the OSGeo community. In the sense of information preservation it 
would be good to have a version which long time preserved, citable and fully 
searchable.

In this vein, an upcoming presentation at FOSS4G 2014 in Portland (Scientific 
Track) will be of interest: "GRASS GIS, Star Trek and old Video Tape – a 
reference case on audiovisual preservation for the OSGeo communities" :-)

Best,
Peter
