Thanks! I find the idea compelling of course because it's free/libre open source software (unlike YouTube), but also because it turns out many of our contributors in mainland China are blocked from accessing YouTube and need us to host these videos somewhere else anyway. I'm curious, since PeerTube basically relies on an in-browser bittorrent client, whether bittorrent protocol works through the government-imposed Internet filters in China and would provide a good solution to that problem. > - what is the licence of summit videos ? Allison Price on the OSF staff confirmed for me that all the official OpenStack Summit session recordings are supposed to be distributed under CC-BY (unfortunately they're inconsistently labeled in YouTube descriptions where some indicate a License of "Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed)" and others don't currently mention any license). I think this means we should have no legal problem at least serving copies of them. > - does the Foundation have some resources to host videos ? [...] It wouldn't be the OpenStack Foundation, but rather the community project infrastructure, which would need to obtain those resources. (If you're unfamiliar with the OpenStack Infrastructure project, in the process of switching to the name OpenDev, https://docs.openstack.org/infra/system-config/project.html provides an overview of who we are and how we collaborate.) We have a fair amount of "cloud" resources provided to us by many generous donor organizations, so ought to be able to come up with sufficient space to house these files and cover the bandwidth of serving them if we decide that's something we want to do. -- Jeremy Stanley
