pyvideo status: April 3rd, 2013

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 It's likely this is out of date, the code doesn't work, the ideas haven't aged well, or the ideas were terrible to begin with.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.

Status

  • Videos for PyCon US 2013 are still going up. There are 115 posted and live now. There are around 30 that are waiting for presenters to look at the metadata and tell Carl whether the metadata is good or not. More on that later.

  • Several new people submitted patches to richard! Several of the patches were fixes to broken things they saw on pyvideo.org. I've applied the fixes to the site directly, but have been waiting on making any non-critical updates to the site until after things have cooled off. I think I'll do a site update in the next week or so.

  • PyData 2013 was recorded. When videos are posted, they'll be in the PyData category. I don't know what the posting schedule is.

  • I was contacted a couple of times by the inimitable Montréal Python to post their videos. They're going to test out steve which is the tool I've been writing for the last 6 months to make it possible for other folks to generate the video metadata needed by pyvideo.org.

    I eagerly look forward to their progress and to their videos getting on the site.

    If it works out well, I'll blog more about steve and look for volunteers to use steve to generate the video metadata for the ever increasing backlog.

  • Several people are gittip'ing me. It's not a lot of money, but that and the many emails I've gotten over the last few weeks about the site have been really great. I work on pyvideo.org in my free time of which I don't have a lot. It's nice to know that prioritizing pyvideo.org work over other things helps you.

That's the gist of things!

Most of the PyCon US 2013 videos that aren't live are waiting for presenters to tell Carl at NextDayVideo (carl at nextdayvideo dot com) whether the metadata is good.

  • If you see your name on this list and you've told Carl the metadata is fine already, please send him a friendly reminder.

  • If you see your name on this list and you haven't told Carl anything, please send him a "yes, this is great!" or the list of things you need corrected.

  • If you see a friend on this list, tell your friend to do one of the above.

I'll update this list as I'm aware of changes. However, I don't work for NextDayVideo, so it's entirely possible my list is not current and/or there are errors. If so, please let me know.
