I know we’ve talked about duplicate videos before…

Welcome to the official blog of the TV review team for WordPress.tv

We approve and publish all videos on WordPress.tv as well as help WordCamps with video post-production and captioning and subtitling of published videos.

We use this P2P2 “P2” is the name of the theme the blogs of make.wordpress.org use. When asked to post or view something “on the p2” by a member of the WPTV team, that usually means you’re asked to check https://make.wordpress.org/tv. to post our progress, status reports, and occasional geeky video debates. Use the “Subscribe to Blog via Email” widgetWidget A WordPress Widget is a small block that performs a specific function. You can add these widgets in sidebars also known as widget-ready areas on your web page. WordPress widgets were originally created to provide a simple and easy-to-use way of giving design and structure control of the WordPress theme to the user. to follow along!

I know we’ve talked about duplicate videos before, https://wptvmods.wordpress.com/2013/02/01/what-to-do-about-duplicate-videos/, but I didn’t see an agreement. In this case I have a video from Sara Cannon called Designer vs. Developer for Atlanta 2013 and Phoenix 2013. I didn’t listen to the Q&A at the end, but I’m pretty sure the presentation itself is the same. Since Phoenix 2013 is already published, what should we do to “archive” the Atlanta one?

On a separate note, for speakers that travel and give the same talk at conferences (exactly like this case), should we tag the published one with Atlanta as well? Just so the atlanta folks coming to WP.tv can easily find it? Not sure I’m leaning one way or the other at the moment. Thoughts?

My opinion is we should publish regardless of the number of presentations because of the Q&A’s are often different and often very informative and because some videos are shot better than others with better sound and editing. Although, I reviewed one where the speaker said this was the 7th time he had given the same presentation at WC’s (but I could only find one other on WPTV.)

If (when) we could get more of the WC’s videos uploaded and WC’s used mostly local talent then this may not be an issue.

  I published it. I think that makes sense. If we decide to change it, we can pretty easily. 🙂

At the end of the day, I think this needs to be addressed at the WC level. Because speakers are allowed to present the same talk and more than one camp, my gut feeling here is that we should publish them anyway, regardless of the fact that they are duplicates.

That is what is most fair to attendees who are looking to watch a speaker from their camp, IMHO.

  Cool. That’s kind of what I was thinking too. I just wanted to make sure we as a group were on the same page. I went ahead and posted the video. 🙂
