Hi Courtney, Thanks for reaching out to the team! We've historically used the YouTube channel for any videos we want the community and the public to have access to. Videos on the channel include presentations at Flock and other Fedora conferences, and interviews with various projects folks. I think this modularity topic, since it concerns changes in the way the operating system works, is quite suitable for YouTube, especially in the form a subchannel or playlist. A lot of what makes YouTube useful is not built in to the channel itself. Rather, it's the context we build in other places to direct people to that content. So for example, if we wanted to put out information about a Fedora feature that's useful to all Fedora users, we wouldn't just post a video and leave it at that. We'd build other content around it, like a Magazine article that goes to all users and makes them aware of, and links to, the video. In this case, we might not accompany this with a Magazine article, but it would be very useful to point people to the content where we need to. For example, someone might drop a link in a mailing list post that concerns modularity; or a comm-blog article; or their own blog which is read by the community. I can work with you to get this content up, provided the other channel owners don't have objections. -- Paul W.
