I prefers the torrent, thx.

Great idea. Stay tuned.

This can be a hard work, but it's possible to add subtitles on
the videos? (Or at least on the next ones).

PS: There is nothing wrong with the speech, it's just for
convenience and more comprehension for non-english listeners.

There are speech-recognized subtitles available for English. There are ways to add subtitles for arbitrary languages but I'm not an expert. Of course the hardest part is defining them with the appropriate timings.

Yes I know about those automatic translation tools, but they seem not work properly, (principally with Programming talks). In fact in some cases they can confuse more than help.

Well, but that's ok!

Initially I took this as a joke, but are you serious about this? Are we going to have to wait 10 weeks for all the videos to be uploaded?

He's serious. If you post them all at once, then each video gets minimal impact. A lot of people will look at one, maybe two, and then not bother with the rest, because all of them showed up at once, whereas if they're posted over a longer period of time, then each video will have larger a impact, because it'll be showing up by itself, and it increases the chances of more casual people viewing it.

Yes. This sucks for those who didn't get the chance to go to the conference and who will definitely view all of them regardless of how quickly they're released, but it produces better PR for the language this way. We'll keep getting new posts on reddit or wherever over a period of several weeks as opposed to it being more of a blip on people's radar and then gone.

I'm glad to see we have our priorities in order.

P.S. Public relations also encompasses relations with an existing user-base.

I think some level of splitting-the-difference may be in order:

I absolutely understand Andrei's reasoning and agree some level of staggering may be worthwhile for purposes of keeping D on the general public's radar.

However, ten weeks is indeed a bit long, particularly if it's a
deliberate staggering instead of simply a "lack of time" matter. And it
does come across a bit disrespectful to those of us who wanted to go but
couldn't. Additionally, does it really make D look good if people
notice "It took them two and a half months just to upload some
videos?"

Assuming there isn't also a "lack of time" issue getting in the way, I think spreading it all across one month sounds more reasonable. Plus, there's no reason we can't just simply delay announcing to reddit/ycombinator/etc.
