Note: This is an old post in a blog with a lot of posts over a long span of time. The world has changed, technologies have changed, and I've changed. It's likely this is out of date, the code doesn't work, the ideas haven't aged well, or the ideas were terrible to begin with. Let me know if you think this is something that needs updating.

What is pyvideo.org

pyvideo.org is an index of Python-related conference and user-group videos on the Internet. Saw a session you liked and want to share it? It's likely you can find it, watch it, and share it with pyvideo.org.

I fixed a few issues and finally (finally) pushed out major site updates. Some of them are implemented in the worst possible way (e.g. facet filters for the search page), but some of them are great (e.g. Amara subtitle support).

I'm still struggling with a lot of technical debt on the site and a lack of time to really focus on it. That's mostly what's been making fixing the issues, improving the site and adding conferences take so long.

Sheila and I will be at PyCon US and hanging around for sprint days. If anyone is interested in sprinting, we'll be there. Even if we don't get any coding done, figuring out how to solve some of the bigger problems and planning what should be done in the next year would be a huge accomplishment.

If you're at PyCon and see either of us, feel free to give us a piece of your mind in regards to how you use PyVideo and what could be better.
