We can offer them for download, but specialized sites offer nice online navigation.

About how many videos total will there be? If it gets too big, I could even just transcode them myself.

Fair enough.

Any plain old HTTP server. dlang.org, dconf.org, or even github since you can easily direct link to the actual files (unless they've changed that, but I don't think so). PDFs are small. I can mirror them on my server too if you wanted to email them to me (user: nick1 domain: semitwist.com), or I can wait until they're all on slideshare and grab them myself - I signed up for a dummy account (Yay mailinator!! :) ).

Slideshare doesn't seem to be too bad as an option for some people
(it beats the hell out of google docs), I just wouldn't stick
*exclusively* to online-viewer services, especially ones that require
either registration or high-end browser technologies just for a trivial
<a href="...">...</a> download link.

It shows for me that the video is privat?

OK I had to activate the video, seems to be processing now. Stay tuned.

Not to be a troll, but there's no such thing as a nice web-based viewer for anything but HTML ;)

Current FF (and probably other browsers) has a builtin PDF reader,
which is _much_ more convenient than any web-based tool I've seen.
(And a real PDF viewer is better yet).

I think there would be much less problems if the files were made available
directly first - it takes little effort and would allow other people to,
say, upload it to YouTube and million other sites.

We're finally live! Talk slides are hosted on dconf.org, and video is on youtube. Check it out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2F2pqeMLuw

I've seen some of those other sites, and they seemed to bury the slides in the middle of a cacophony of ads and popups.

Yah, that's pretty cool. The man can tell a story.
