Videos of Wikimania 2012 sessions have begun making their way to YouTube. As videos are uploaded, they will be made available here: <http://www.youtube.com/user/wikimediadc>. If there is a lecture you want to see that has not been uploaded yet, it will be uploaded in the coming weeks.
Once we have all the videos, we will send hard drives of the videos off to the server farms for direct upload to Wikimedia Commons, with both low-resolution and full HD versions being made available.
Enjoy these videos! The presenters did a fantastic job and I know there were many sessions I wish I could've went to.
Great work but I wish some of the videos were split by speakers, sitting down to watch a +1hour video sometimes is not that easy. All in all, thumbs up.
David.

Yeah +1 to great work.
@David, It looks like most of the descriptions so far (You usually have to press 'read more') explain what speakers are in each video and have links next to the description with the video time. If you click the link it jumps to that speaker which is very helpful.
Seen that already, but still difficult for anyone who would want do download the video... like I said, not a complain, just an observation.

There are unofficial ways to download videos from YouTube, but it may be better to wait until the videos are available on Wikimedia Commons.

It looks like only the logos have been targeted - probably in fear of copyright violations? Anyway, the logo here is also freely licensed, so please feel free to keep them 'correct' :)

Oh, and by the way - could someone replace Tomasz Kozlowski in that description with Lodewijk Gelauff? Tomasz was supposed to do that session, but he didn't make it to Wikimania so I replaced him.

It says a lot about the state of the Wikimedia Commons upload system that even the WMF ends up uploading videos to Youtube in advance of posting them on a website that it operates. :-(

Youtube is specifically designed for sharing videos. Commons isn't.
It also allows for videos to be made immediately. YouTube's upload interface is flawless. Wikimedia Commons is problematic for bulk upload. Thankfully, we are an hour away from the Ashburn, Virginia data center, but we are waiting until we have all the videos before handing the hard drives off to the Wikimedia Foundation.

Thanks,

WMF isn't the one who's uploading the videos, but rather WMDC.
