it was then that we saw all of the Element people die

hi. just ask questions.. why getmonero.org use cloudflare?

guests1984: Cloudflare provides among other things DDoS attack protection

xmrscott[m]: cloudflare is centralized

needmoney90: Yeah, but they make a mean marionberry pie so it evens out

needmoney90: the website is inherently centralised anyway

and pigeons is working on the Tor site, so anyone who is concerned can use that

Announcement of October's network upgrade. Please review: monero-project/monero-site #1140

Excellent!

Why has the MCW YT channel been renamed? youtube.com/c/monerospace/about

my understanding of recent events is that this channel is now Core property and thus there wuold be no reason for rebranding it

video metadata/statistics such as upload dates, view counts, etc. are within what I understood to be Core property

sgp_ just renamed it today, AFAIK, because it belongs to the new workgroup that is shortly to be announced, but will continue to serve the same purposes (and more, likely).

how is sgp_ relinquishing leadership of the MCW even remotely compatible with the MCW YT channel now being LLC property?

it would be a bit weird if this channel is sgp’s property, the videos are mostly community videos (defcon, ccc, monerokon, community coffee chat, ...)

idk that its "LLC property", he can fill in the specifics, but he is the one who created and has run the YT channel since inception

I do not have the exclusive rights to use the content; it is all CC so anyone can host elsewhere

again, the metadata/statistics on the videos are irreproducible thus not part of CC

those will clearly belong to somebody

yeah, Justin

the person who owns the account

Hmmm...things like comments and stuff.

I don't think centralizing everything under Core is the best idea.

so was this announcement of relinquishing leadership of the MCW even meaningful?

Sure, but many people contributed to the YouTube stuff, perhaps on the assumption that it was MCW stuff.

It was renamed explicitly to divorce it from the -community workgroup. We have appropriated nothing.

I would assume if MCW wants to have a YT channel it could be created and videos shared/uploaded to it instead

Similar to not being able to change afoss license workout getting permission of everyone who contributed ( or rewrite those parts)

rehrar: perhaps, but I'm not claiming to have control over Monero Talk because I was a guest. Doug clearly leads that initiative

I can see the argument that many people contributed to the YouTube, and so it may not be able to change ownership without approval of all people who worked on it.

Without*

That's..... No

That is not how youtube account ownership works.

The videos are in the commons

The metadata is not?

You are free to rehost the videos anywhere else

Just clarifying.

It belongs to the account, from youtube's guidelines.

"free to rehost" with zero view stats and the appearance of being the "copier"

I don't think we're really liable for perception here. We've done what we can to divorce our own accounts from this workgroup, because that was the will of the people here.

I mean obviously you can take it since you have the password. But people will feel jipped

Or however you spell that.

the recent announcement of relinquishment of MCW leadership, to me, would have suggested that the YT channel named "MCW" would now be Core property and so the very recent rebrand does not seem compatible with the announcement

We are no longer moderating this channel, or heading initiatives

<intj440 "so was this announcement of reli"> Yes, and as others have noted who were against the initial proposal, the stepping down (as written here: gist.github.com/SamsungGalaxyPlayer/db745ee6b967e91b5318f2db04f4ee2f) was even excessive in their eyes

I would like to reiterate that I don't really think 'give everything to core' is particularly decentralized either. If you guys are really serious about your "individuals must hold every single thing in our ideal decentralized system", you have to live with the consequences of having individuals hold every single thing in your ideal decentralized ecosystem

which includes them using it as they see fit

sgp_: MoneroTalk is not a workgroup, this is not comparable

Note however that the channel will function the same way as it always has. The MCW is welcome (but not obligated to) host the Coffee Chats there if you want to keep having those, or any other Monero-related content

Obviously putting content there does not mean I have ownership of it. Whoever made the video does. This is just one available place to share related content

The channel was called "Monero Community Workgroup" and not "Justin". You stepping down from MCW does not imply that you take ownership of this channel, especially because you said nothing about this in your statement.

And no, I don’t care about a youtube channel but this comes off a bit sneaky and in bad faith.

This would be the case in any situation where an individual owned an account

And if the name was kept, they would also be lambasted for it.

We changed the name, as was asked.

This is one of the inherent issues with having a 'decentralized' group of 'community' accounts owned by individuals.

We tried to express our concerns with that kind of structure in our mission statement for why we wanted to split ownership of the accounts over multiple people, but it seems the implications of why we wanted to do that weren't very clear.

This is the exact issue we were attempting to solve (really, have solved)

Its probably a good thing that you guys are realizing why that system has issues. One solution is to just give everything to core (yet another central entity), but people don't seem to have worries about that

Were there any other specific concerns people had about this move? intj440 selsta?

I know it’s a bit... weird, but the changes in this workgroup and the new one happening right now are going to make for some growing pains I’m sure.

But hopefully we can help to clarify/ease the process.

don’t even know what to say lol

wtf

rehrar, just fyi jipped or however you spell it is not PC

I learned after using it at work a few years ago

its a reference to gypsies

right

I didnt want to bring it up

I find this all really tiring

you're basically saying romanian people are thieves

or something

can't we culturally appropriate the word so it doesnt refer to them

guess I will make sure to avoid everything hosted by this new company

<selsta "guess I will make sure to avoid "> What would be the better solution? Who would take over the channel?

Well, I think the whole "starting a new thing" implies starting a new thing. So a new channel, a new everything.

Let things contributed under one unspoken understanding stay in that understanding.

^ yes

Let the new stuff have the new understanding.

So handing off the YT, Twitter, etc?

YT is all that matters. At least imo.

Yeah that was my initial suggestion, but I know there are lots of opinions both ways.

The fact that the youtube channel changing ownership was not mentioned in a single sentence says everything I have to know.

This could have been talked about.

(at least)

It was listed as an asset IIRC, but not sure what discussion occurred past that.

the assets that were simultaneously services??

They were one or the other

lol

"We start a new workgroup"

I did note (I think publicly) that if there was going to be contention over any of the assets it would be the youtube

since that's where the most love has gone over the years

For sure

jwinterm: oof PC things

I have had dealings with gypsies over time, they identify as ones that get over on others including one another

one over*

at least get your turns of speech right nioc

<cankerwort> Can't people just repost/rehost the videos?

They seem to be arguing that, because some of their efforts were involved in videos getting upvotes, they are entitled to the account (because those upvotes are theirs?)

That was not the argument.

<cankerwort> The talks and con videos had to be uploaded somewhere

Yes, the community trusted Justin / Monero Community Workgroup with CCS funded videos.

<cankerwort> Maybe uploading them all to a channel controlled by an individual in this way was daft in retrospect

now they become part of an for profit company

that already said they plan to make a profit

<cankerwort> I doubt that YT channel is bringing in any ad money anytime soon

it’s a breach of trust for me

Last time I checked monetization of videos, etc was never planned

needmoney90: english is my second and only language

xmrscott[m]: guess that can change now that the LLC has to make a profit

<cankerwort> Like did the people who gave talks really care where they got uploaded? I imagine they mostly cared that they were creative Commons

I’m not going to speculate what other people "care" about.

I personally lost trust and will avoid all new infra hosted by them.

selsta: I don't think aN LLC needs to make a profit

niocbrrrrrr: they said they plan to make a profit

ok, I missed that

<cankerwort> I also missed that

what I remember is that they said they might raise some money but not looking for a profit disclaimer: I have only followed discussion in this channel and have not read the proposal and read virtually none of the discussion on reddit
