Informational videos about Qubes

[Yethal]

This is a two part series about Qubes OS features on a Linux-centric channel.

Could we link to that from the front page?

Hi Yethal,

We're generally pretty conservative about what we link from the Qubes
website. We have nothing against these videos, and we're grateful to
everyone who creates positive videos about Qubes. However, we have a
pretty stringent set of requirements when it comes to directly linking
to videos, since doing so could be perceived as an endorsement.

That sounds reasonable. Could we perhaps have a link to these videos (as well as all other third-party materials about Qubes) somewhere on the mailing group/IRC channel so that newcomers can get acquainted with them?

Sure, that sounds fine. As for the mailing list, I think the email
you've already sent does a good job of spreading awareness. I'm not
sure if we have the ability to "sticky" threads, but at any rate, we
probably wouldn't want to, for a variety of reasons. For one thing,
many people use this as a mailing list and never see the web
interface. For another, stickied threads would go stale, and the Qubes
team can't keep track of them all. So, I think the better course of
action would be for someone (such as yourself, perhaps) to
periodically send out an email with links to the best videos available
at the time.

As for the IRC channel(s), JPO and Holger (CCed) may be able to take
care of that.

surely we can add some link to /topic but I think first and foremost those
videos should be linked from qubes-os.org/docs/ and then everyone can find
them easily…

Well, the concerns about linking to videos from the Qubes website also
apply to linking to them from qubes-os.org/docs/. This is kind of a
sticky issue that the Qubes team would like to avoid.

What if we added a disclaimer stating that these videos were made by third-parties unaffiliated with QubesOS Project nad that QubesOS Project in no way endorses them and/or their creators?
