Request to upload Modularity videos to the Fedora YouTube cahnnel

[Courtney Pacheco]

Hi everyone,


The Modularity team would like to use the official Fedora YouTube 
channel to upload demos related to the Modularity effort. We would also 
like to upload our planning and grooming videos to share with the 
community what is currently happening with our effort.


In essence, we are trying to *market* the changes we would like to see 
in Fedora to give the Fedora community the opportunity to provide 
feedback on these changes.


We would prefer to have a "sub-channel" (or the like) under the Fedora 
YouTube channel that is focused solely on Modularity, as not everyone 
interested in Fedora will be interested in Modularity. Similar to the 
split between Fedora Magazine and Community Blog, these videos are more 
for Fedora Contributors rather than Fedora Users.

Can you let me know if this is something we can do and what steps will 
we need to take to make this happen?

Thanks for your time and consideration,

Courtney

Hello Courtney, the primary places outlined to put videos has been Vimeo &
Archive.org, last I heard there were no objections to YouTube of course :)

The videos need to be reviewed before getting the thumbs up, but, someone
with Fedoran Admin can over-ride the need to do each one separately if it
makes sense.

Im sure Nitesh or Croberts know more regarding this,

Hey Courtney, this topic is actually fitting into a bigger, recent
discussion as well about how we securely manage and distribute social
media account privileges.

In this case, I would reach out to bkp (Brian Proffit), ryanlerch (Ryan
Lerch), or stickster (Paul Frields) with specific questions about
getting the social media credentials for YouTube. We really haven't
discussed strategy for YouTube much either (not sure we really actively
use it for anything anyways). It might be best to just publish the
videos on the main Fedora channel versus a smaller, specific one since
the current account doesn't have much action anyways.

For now, I would reach out to one of the three folks listed above and
maybe link them to this thread and ask for their feedback since social
media is currently a little bit in flux right now.

Thanks for reaching out!

Hi Courtney,

Thanks for reaching out to the team!  We've historically used the
YouTube channel for any videos we want the community and the public to
have access to.  Videos on the channel include presentations at Flock
and other Fedora conferences, and interviews with various projects
folks.  I think this modularity topic, since it concerns changes in
the way the operating system works, is quite suitable for YouTube,
especially in the form a subchannel or playlist.

A lot of what makes YouTube useful is not built in to the channel
itself.  Rather, it's the context we build in other places to direct
people to that content.  So for example, if we wanted to put out
information about a Fedora feature that's useful to all Fedora users,
we wouldn't just post a video and leave it at that.  We'd build other
content around it, like a Magazine article that goes to all users and
makes them aware of, and links to, the video.

In this case, we might not accompany this with a Magazine article, but
it would be very useful to point people to the content where we need
to.  For example, someone might drop a link in a mailing list post
that concerns modularity; or a comm-blog article; or their own blog
which is read by the community.

I can work with you to get this content up, provided the other channel
owners don't have objections.
