SamSo I tried to figure out how to make a new youtube channel and couldn't. Maybe its' something about the account I have being an apps account (I already have 2 though, so apprently I did this at some point)
SamIf anyone else knows how to easily make one and can make an "XMPP Office Hours" channel and add me (sam@samwhited.com) as an admin I can start uploading videos
SamOh wait, maybe I have to create a "Brand Account", that sounds like it might be a channel

emus (XSF Com. Team)Maybe we should have a brand acxount 😅

SamI was just about to ask: Would it be good to just name this as an XSF account instead? If it's only ever office hours stuff or doesn't end up getting used that's fine, but if we have videos from summit or something we'd have a place for them
SamEg. should I name it "XMPP Office Hours" or "XMPP Standards Foundation" and then just have a playlist for office hours?

emus (XSF Com. Team)Sam: I would be in, but thats not on my decision unfortunately 😕 I will ask

emus (XSF Com. Team)Sam: we have a go 😊
emus (XSF Com. Team)- Do you want Youtube because of scale, or shall we also create a Vimeo account?
SamI don't think a Vimeo account is free if you upload stuff
SamI don't think it really matters though, most people are on YouTube not Vimeo and I think we have to go where the people are.
emus (XSF Com. Team)I will create an email for xsf commteam, then we can register this to it
Ah ok
SamOkay, let me know when you've got it setup and I'll add it; thanks!
emus (XSF Com. Team)yes

JeybeWould suggest that instead using Vimeo as second account, you could create a PeerTube account additional to the YouTube account
SamJeybe: can you suggest an instance?
JeybeSam: Difficult, don't really know that many instances, as I follow from my Mastodon account.
German instances would be https://digitalcourage.video (non-profit organisation) and https://tube.tchncs.de (from an individual)
Both with closed registrations, but you surely can ask for an account.
Otherwise you can find MANY instances here: https://joinpeertube.org/instances#instances-list
SamThis is the problem I've had: they're either closed or aren't a good fit for one reason or another.
Licaon_KterJeybe: tchncs.de is from the same org as trashserver.net xmpp server, right?
JeybeNo, same as social.tchncs.de
JeybeTrashserver is from https://thomas-leister.de
Jeybe(Milan is the guy behind tchncs.de
Thomas is the guy behind trashserver.net)

Licaon_KterI stand corrected :)

I know that Milan opens the registrations from time to time, so he may provide an account.
Digitalcourage states they'd provide an account for befriended organisations so they may be an option as well.
But I guess if we did a bit of asking around we may find a fit.
What would be you criteria?✎

emus (XSF Com. Team)Sam, if you want I can ask them from my role
SamI'm not really sure. I don't want to have to jump through hoops to register personally, but maybe someone else is willing to draft an email somewhere.

SamI wouldn't want to upload to both FWIW, YouTube is good enough for me, so someone would have to manage it unless we can sync it with youtube somehow (or visa versa, I just don't want to have to manually create videos in both)
SamAnd I guess we'd want one where the primary language is English since that's what the XSF operates in? Though that might matter less
JeybeWould wonder if there isn't already an automatism for that, as this wouldn't be the first channel I know uploading to both youtube and peertube

emus (XSF Com. Team)Yeah, Sam you dont need to register from your side, just give me a bit more time to do it via an "official" account

emus (XSF Com. Team)Sam, I suggest we should put the word XMPP Office Hours: Title in the video title so its easier to find when searching for xmpp
emus (XSF Com. Team)other then that: Great that you step forward with this!
Samemus (XSF Com. Team): that's going to make video titles very long. As long as it's in the description and it's in the Office Hours playlist I think it's fine
emus (XSF Com. Team)Hmm, at lease maybe put the word XMPP? 😋️
emus (XSF Com. Team)You can create "playlists" under this title as well. But never mind we can do that another day
emus (XSF Com. Team)I wouldnt care if its ab bit longer, but prefer to have it allocated. because the title without might not say too much to someone "external"
Samemus (XSF Com. Team): it's on the XMPP channel and it's in the description, I don't think we need to abuse the title for that
SamBut I don't really know what best practices are either, so if you really want I can go change it, it just feels redundant. I think it will show XMPP either way
emus (XSF Com. Team)I think many people check for the titles when deciding on a video. But is okay, just my 2ct
wurstsalatthat’s cool! thanks for creating that channel, and thanks for recording these talks! :)
SamMaybe https://tilvids.com/ would be good if someone wants to make a PeerTube as well? They seem to be educational content
JeybeSam: Seems to be a nice instance
JeybeYou may have to check how much storage you're allowed to use
SamUggh, we really need a better story around discovery for federated services. This is hard.
SamEven with their little discovery widget (which is great) it's so hard to tell which isntances are managed well and aren't going to just dissapear tomorrow.

JeybeSam: It's not that hard for every service. For example, there are quite curated lists out there for XMPP and Mastodon.
But yeah, for PeerTube it's a bit of a mess. Got through the PeerTube instance list for the last hour or so and it's still really hard to tell which instances are trustworthy.
Especially, since almost none of them provide a good privacy policy nor an imprint or some other concrete information about the operator and his/her dealing with ones data.
