Thanks for the update, Dave! Was delighted to see that the videos from all the talks (except lightning talks) are up at: http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Events/GCC2013/Program I wanted to ask though, are there specific reasons for not using a service like YouTube / Vimeo etc? That would make sharing on Google+ / Twitter / Facebook etc much nicer, since you get a preview and an in-page embedded player, (possibly) enabled commenting etc, which I think would help "spread the word" about Galaxy even more. Just my 5c, and big thanks for the hard work with putting all this up! (I know it is a tremendous lot of work) Best Regards // Samuel On 07/31/2013 07:51 PM, Dave Clements wrote:

And I am personally very impressed with the quality of those videos.
I wanted to ask though, are there specific reasons for not using a service like YouTube / Vimeo etc?
Yes! Um, but I can't remember what they are (sadly, this is true). We'll talk about this on the next outreach call, and I'll post here what we decide. And unlike what I said in the email, the Galaxy community has a new *Proteomics *mailing list<http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/GalaxyUpdates/2013_08#New_Galaxy_Proteomics_Mailing_List> . Thanks, Dave C

Hi Samuel, everyone, Our main reason for avoiding these ad supported services is that we don't want people to have to deal with ads to see Galaxy Video content. Dave C On Sat, Aug 10, 2013 at 2:54 AM, Samuel Lampa <samuel.lampa@gmail.com>wrote:

Hi Samuel, everyone, There is now a Vimeo channel containing all 25 taped talks from GCC2013: https://vimeo.com/channels/581875 We're still figuring out how to best use Vimeo. Please do let us know if you have any suggestions for how to improve the site. Look for more content here going forward. And it's on a Vimeo Plus account, so you won't see any ads for phones, football teams, telescopes, or faster than light travel. :-) Dave C On Mon, Aug 12, 2013 at 12:28 PM, Dave Clements <clements@galaxyproject.org>wrote:
