GNOME conferences Youtube channels

[Ismael Olea <ismael olea org>]

Hi:

After my experience with GUADEC 2018 I had some reflections about Youtube channels. I'll expose them very briefly:

• I'm very happy with how talks' videos has been published and tagged
• I can see appropriate to have separate channels for GNOME promotion (as now) and a different one for video talks.
• Since in a Youtube channel you can precisely tag and add to playlists a set of videos this is suitable to publish not just one but several conferences videos.
• I'm not familiar with video recording practises with LAS GNOME and GNOME Asia, but in any case would be great to have all been recorded and published too.
• In this sense, maintaining several conference channels is, to me, suboptimal. I think all conference talks published in the same channel is nice and good for the better dissemination of contents and image marketing/engagement.
• When managing Youtube channels I've found channels _are_not_mergeable_, so any reorganization implies removing old channels, uploading again the old contents and losing all related data, counters and subscriptions.

So I'm proposing to consider renaming the GUADEC Youtube channel (AFAIK the only conference channel active) to something like «GNOME Conferences» or similar (GNOME Talks?) suitable to host and publish talks of any technical talks, specially the ones from the main conferences. I think the required tasks will be just channel rebranding.

I left this thoughts to your consideration and acting according the team criteria, if required.

Yours:
