I just finished watching.

Very, very good presentation.
A lot of interesting stuff in here.
Also those "here comes the correct answer" were really funny, made me laugh in real ;)

Thank you very much Ali for doing this presentation.
Those 50 minutes were totally worth it.

Best regards

I do the same, but I guess in case of D, we are not the one to convince as we already are.

As far as I'm concerned, I'd prefer if all videos are released as soon as possible. AFAIK no other conference that publishes videos introduces an artificial delay when releasing videos and slides, just for "PR" reasons. I even think is anti-PR to do such a thing (I can see how making one announcement each couple of days in reddit/etc. can help keep D in the spot but I don't see any reason why not to upload the actual stuff and link it in the conference website).

People that is actively looking for the stuff should be able to find it. People that doesn't know about the conference, should get a notification about a new video once in a while. Still, 10 months seems crazy. As somebody mentioned before, 1 month seems much more reasonable, 2 at most.

As a speaker, as I said before, what would make me happy is to make my talk available as soon as possible. So, at least in my personal case, the "day in the sun" argument doesn't apply :)

With all due respect I'd dare ask how versed you are in organizing conferences, PR campaigns, or anything related. Releasing video recordings with a delay has been the policy of all recent conferences I've participated or organized.

There is evidence indicating we are doing the right thing. On what basis do you believe it's negative for PR?

People who are actively looking for the stuff will sure find it forever - just with a little delay at start, which I have explained why I find entirely reasonable.

With three a week we'll be done in five more weeks. Please explain why you find that unreasonable.

My aim here is to do the best for the D community.

I think either misunderstanding or typo here.  The original release schedule was to happen over 10 WEEKS not 10 months (2 per week, for 20 videos, that's 10 weeks or roughly 2.5 months).
