I don't think so. The closest is Andrei Alexandrescus account posting videos from the previous conference.

Found this one too: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4EvMyUrlAJmEfs8l6oW2BlnALiDu7kGy

I'm working towards a channel specifically [0].
It will house two types of series of videos. Firstly Lets learn, basically learning D. Secondly Lets make, as you can guess its about applying D in some format.
I'll mention that the Lets learn type will be pretty much limited to one file and executable on dpaste.

However its slow going as I'm learning blender to act as a very fancy video editor.

If anybody is interested in contributing to this, I'll be happy to add you as a manager.

Sounds good, but I think a common channel for everything D would be a better move. A "dlang" channel that includes every talk, tutorial etc. I don't know much of how YouTube works, so I don't know if such an aggregated channel is possible. If it is, someone should create it and gather all YouTube videos.

I was thinking about one that would have an official status, linked from dlang.org main page and aggregates all community contributions in a single feed. Is there anyone willing to champion one? :) (I probably can but is far from my daily concerns)

I am pretty sure no one will object such initiative if there is a person willing to maintain it.

I want to keep separate the easy stuff compared to the more complex things. ApplyYourDLang is dedicated to basically easy related content. And getting people started. Where as an official channel could be more advance topics and talks.

There is no reason why official channel ust be focused on advanced and complicated stuff. Quite the contrary. I'd expect it to aggregate all stuff of sold quality - and nothing prevents video from being both in your dedicated channel and referenced from official one at the same time. Think about it as moderated hash tag.

You can have multiple managers per channel (can e.g. upload). Because I want to keep the learning material in ApplyYourDLang perhaps because you can add featured channels, that we could create a small set of them. With a different set of target audiences each.

I really would rather newbies to not be able to find them selves all of a sudden in a video regarding e.g. manual memory management. That could be rather scary for them.

Thats why I'm suggesting to keep the learn based content in another channel. Once somebody has gone through learning some basics (they may not even know any programming at all!) than just finding videos on more advanced topics won't be as scary. Hence this is a very special use case that I'm considering.
