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).
I’ve got some 20 GiB on a location in USA which I do not currently use. However, I’d hesitate to host any material that is /not/ free (e. g., CC BY-SA.) If the licensing terms aren’t overly restrictive, I could probably host the files.
Unfortunately, I cannot promise a Web player for the videos (unless these are in a suitable format for an HTML5-based one), though I could probably install some kind of a gallery on the host. (Preferrably a “static” one, such as one of [1–6].)
To note is that there are also paid file hosting services, such as Rackspace “Cloud Files,” which seemed cheap enough the last time I’ve used it.

Hey! Thanks a lot for your offer. I now feel ashamed of "kind of" refusing. It's just that backing up is painful (we have automatic backups but I also backup to my machine which... takes... a... huge... amount... of...time). I am sure Linode would increase our space size if we needed to and asked them. They have been very nice and helpful in the past 7/8 years we're together. I think I got scared by the 17GB Bob mentioned as we have about 350+ teams per year ;-) I know it's a raw amount and will be reduced, it just seems a bit high for what we do not being Google or Yahoo. That being said I'd be happy if we could work out a better system that what we currently have which satisfy all parties. And I still owe you one ticket... sorry for the slow response time. Fred
