Hi, please could someone tell me where can I find videos from DConf 2017?

I pretty sure I watched them on Youtube sometime ago, but I can't find anymore.

By the way, I'm looking from one video where someone shows some "C flaws" and how to D as Better C could solve that.

I think it was the second talk in this list: https://dconf.org/2017/schedule/

Any idea?

Thanks.

Can't find the post, but Sociomantic is no longer, and whomever controlled the sociomantic youtube account took down all the videos. Last I heard they were trying to figure out if they could get the videos back up.

First of all thanks for replying and... Ouch! After that I hope D Foundation learned the lesson and keep the videos themselves instead of relying in third party next time.

I think it's time to have a Wayback Machine version for videos.

Thanks.

2017 was the last time the Foundation did not obtain copies of the videos. The YouTube channel started in 2018 and from that time and on into the future the Foundation has hosted and will host all of the DConf videos. And we'll soon have our own copies of all of the 2015 videos in case the UVU channel goes away some day.

A few of the 2013/14 videos are in the Internet Archive. They have to be uploaded manually. Someone created a D account for it and uploaded them there at some point. When I created the Foundation's channel, I downloaded those and ripped the rest of the 2013/14 videos from various YouTube accounts, then uploaded them to our channel.  So we have everything now except the 2016/17 copies.

I think it's unintentional because the same thing happened to my Weka account: After I stopped working there, the company naturally deleted my account and the videos that were associated with that account disappeared from YouTube after a grace period. I think it was one month at that time but nobody was aware until it was too late.

Apparently the internet can actually forget some things. :)

Well, this wasn't one person's account. It was the company account. I've since learned that, as part of Dunhumby's process of killing off the Sociomantic brand, someone in their marketing department took it down without realizing that we were relying on it. To their credit, they have since tried to recover the account, but apparently by then it was too late.

I have previously downloaded the DConf videos. I sent them to Mike for him to upload.

Thank you! You have certainly saved the day here!
