Another possibility to consider is archive.org. It will host video permanently and looks like it offers an embeddable player. You can see some existing examples of SFD-related video at <https://archive.org/search.php?query=subject%3A%22software%20freedom%20day%…>. The interface for uploading and entering metadata about your file can be kind of confusing, so doing a test file first to figure it out is a good idea.

No we didn't consider anything so far. I'll look into it then... Thanks. Fred On 11/21/2013 06:00 PM, Marcos Marado wrote: > Did we considered mediagoblin already?

That's a great overview! It's a bit ironic that we need to use commercial, proprietary services to display our recordings of Software Freedom Day. I did my presentation on ownCloud this year, and I hear that the next version will have a much better multimedia interface. So I'll host my own, and just provide links on the SFD Wiki. I'll let the list know when there's more stuff from SFD-Kitchener available. --Bob. BTW, I don't have permission to delete files I've uploaded to the Wiki, so there's some space that could be recovered from pictures no longer needed. Let me know if you need a list of filenames.

Re: [SFD-discuss] Media files on SFD wiki? [was: SFD 2013 in Turkey]

Hi! We do have some space and could probably get more if needed, however this amount starts to become a problem when we're running backups and storing stuff "far away" as I live in China and the international bandwidth is very poor. We've also decided a while back (in 2010 I think) to avoid installing plugins on the wiki which tend to not be maintained over time. We used to have a photo gallery one, which got deprecated and killed all the teams photo galleries we had. So I'd say the wiki is ok to show a few photos to give a feeling of an event, but putting up a photo set is not going to render very well. Since we've moved to non FOSS providers such as Flickr, Picassa or whatever works for the team. I wish we could find something in the middle but as I also take care of the installation and maintenance I of course have a biased view on things. It's probably something we should work on when "we" have time, but again I have other things to do for the org which I consider more important (such as a better registration component which would allow teams to modify their data, a USB burning kiosk-kind of system, and a few other things). We currently have 50GB total and only 32GB is actually used by the VPS of which more than half is free I think. We also have a different sponsor for our Hong Kong and China related activities for the above reasons. I hope I gave you a better idea of how we're running and what could be possible. Thank you.

Media files on SFD wiki? [was: SFD 2013 in Turkey]

by Bob Jonkman

Is there enough room on the SFD Wiki server to upload pictures and video? I've got some 17 GBytes of raw video of the Kitchener SFD talks that I'll edit down to five 45 minute segments, and probably another few hundred images. Not sure how big it'll all be when it's done, and if there's no room on SFD I can always self-host it (but I'm Canadian so my broadband is slow). Sadly, I don't think any of it will be done in time for the contest... --Bob.
