Only very few videos are online (actually only 5 sessions). Most of the
presentations are missing.

I knew about these links. What I say is its a tragedy that people have to 
upload files by themselves and there is no streamlined process of:
1) creating the media centrally (in case of video)
2) getting it online all at once

That is all.

You know how many videos are there to be uploaded? How big those videos are?
And you know what the organizers are doing since Wikimania ends?

No one of the videos can go to Wikimedia Commons without a bugzilla request.


And btw, all presentations can be uploaded in commons by the speakers.

That would seem to be a problem. If you are making separate bugzilla
requests for each video, you need to come up with a better process.
Either make one request for all the videos, or make a request to be
given the technical power needed to just do it yourself.

Um no, only one request is needed, You just need to link to somewhere
where the video files can be easily accessed so they can be
transferred. As for requesting technical access to do that, that would
involve shell access to the servers so that is likely never to happen.

Well, it seems that every year we choose locations that for one reason or
the other are likely not to be accessible to some groups or nationality (I
hear complaints every year about these issues)(no judgements, just a fact).
So I agree that this uploading issue should be faced once for all,
setting up a workflow with WMF technicians that would allow videos and
slides to be online in reasonable time.

A bit disappointed to see posts like this. Most of us don't have the luxury
of attending international conferences every year, but that doesn't mean
we're not interested to know what happened there. Videos should be uploaded
and most popular presentations should be subtitled into the most popular
languages (I recognize that subtitling long videos is a huge time suck for
volunteers- but in an *ideal* world this would happen)

Just for your information: I did not go to Wikimania 2011 (or any of the
previous one), so please don't put anyone in the list of "people with the

Yes!  if we can set up a system for media upload *before* the next
conference to try and address this issue, which does come up every
year, that would be fantastic.

Copying wikitech :) The problem: how and where should we annually
upload video and slides from ~100 conference presentations, keeping
them freely & easily accessible and the metadata (such as links to
papers, submission pages, wikipages of notes, etc) intact?

Hi,

As I said before - all Wikimania sessions had been recorded (in HD format!).
As everyone who work with video know, to produce 120 hours of HD videos, is
not an easy thing at all.

We had to finish a lot of administrative work which related to Wikimania,
and we just back to take care for this issue - to edit, decode and upload.
Videos are already on their way online to Youtube and we hope to upload all
of them until the end of the month. After we will finish that, we will need
to find more time again to decode them and compress them so we can upload to
Commons (every decode file who been uploads right now to youtube is about
3-4GB).

All the footage are backup on two hard drive, one that belong to Wikimedia
Israel and one which will be sent to WMF for archive. So we have all the
data, and it is only matter of time. Be patients please.

It will be a lot easier to import from YouTube once Timed media handler adds 
support for webm to commons. If you check out the wikivideo-l and commons lists 
for some recent example YouTube to commons scripts.  I know this is not super 
useful info right this second, but there is hope on the horizon.

How's Timed Media Handler (which will also allow WebM/VP8) going? ETA?

For future Wikimanias, it may be helpful to have a small team led by a
video editing lead, that is expected to start their work at Wikimania
and finish two weeks after, to handle all of the video editing and
uploading.  Including a contract with / sponsorship by a professional
videography shop that can help with the peak load.  This is a small
line in the budget, an additional core volunteer, and makes a big
difference to people who want to catch up on the event while it is
still fresh.

Re: [Foundation-l] Tragedy: videos and slides from presentations Wikimanias (lately 2011 in Haifa)

[Kozuch]

Phoebe,

as a board member, can you make sure no more decision on next Wikimania host is 
made unless something like a propper "conference content guideline" is created 
and made mandatory for the next host?

My guideline proposal:
- presentations have to made accesible under free license
- host will put all presentations and video footage online within X days of end 
of conference (under free license again)

I think this would be enough and any host would be happy to comply.

Cheers,
Kozuch

So far, only Kosovo and Albania would be capable of pulling it off though O:-)

good.

Yes, and the "we" in this case are AWESOME people. :-D

the videos online!)
