Channel or playlist contribution guidelines

• Conference talks are accepted.
• Panel discussions are accepted.
• High quality video tutorials are accepted (only time-proven channels, with no aggressive marketing)
• No webinars.
• No commercial videos (product or company advertisement or hiring promotions).
• We do not add videos shorter than 5 minutes. Short videos are automatically ignored.
• If your channel contains commercial videos, but you still want to share some of the technical videos, please, create a playlist and share that instead.

Channels and playlists can be added to channels.yml.

How to edit video metadata

• Please use spaces for formatting.
• Please, only add speaker information if it is a real single person. Collective names or organization accounts will not be accepted as a valid speaker metadata. We plan to implement multiple speakers per video at some point (follow up here).

The structure of the video metadata looks like this:

tags:
    - tag1
    - tag2
speaker:
    name: Speaker full name
    twitter: SpeakerTwitterHandle (no @)
title: Title goes here
language: English
featured: true (you need to have enough karma points, see https://dev.tube/contributors)

How to remove a video

If you want a video to be removed, create a new GitHub issue and explain why you think the video should be removed. In particular, we'd appreciate if you created issues for marketing videos.

Video auto-tagging

In addition to editing video metadata, auto-tagging is supported. Auto-tagging takes place when video metadata is modified or a new video is ingested.

Contribute to auto-tagging by modifying tags.yml

Speaker auto-discovery

When a new video is ingested, Dev.Tube tries to determine author's twitter account.

Contribute to speaker auto-discovery by modifying speakers.yml.

FAQ

I made a contribution, but do no see the change

Videos are updated few times in a week, but we try to do it more frequently. We're also working on the solution to make changes on the fly.
