GNOME PeerTube Instance?

[Adrien Plazas <kekun plazas laposte net>]

Hi all,

PeerTube is a federated video sharing platform you probably already know of. Given that GNOME produces videos, I think it could be interesting for us to have our own instance. It would:

- allow to host release videos

- allow to host GUADEC videos and videos from other conferences

- allow Foundation members to publish video snippets or tutorials like Christian do sometimes

But more importantly it would make these videos easily accessible to the public in a way that respect their privacy while offering the comfort and features of modern services like a web player and comments. A GNOME instance would be closed on itself but other instances could integrate it to spread our videos out. It is possible to comment on PeerTube via an account on the local instance or via any ActivityPub-compatible account like a Mastodon one.

A few examples of good quality instances publishing videos but not federating other instances:

- https://thinkerview.video

- https://skeptikon.fr

- https://video.lqdn.fr

An example of an instance federated with others: https://framatube.org

Let's install such a service‽ :)

Cheers, Adrien Plazas
