There is a version up and running already, and the work was done mainly
by volunteers Jason Self and James Turner (in a virtual machine operated
by address@hidden). To be honest, I'm not sure what the current
hold-up is. It would be good to discuss it in #gnu-webmasters on
Freenode -- jxself and jturner are both generally there. Jason can be
reached at address@hidden also.

All of our solutions so far for distributing video have been ad hoc. I
want to settle just on two GNU MediaGoblin instances -- one for
LibrePlanet, which will (and does, at media.libreplanet.org) include
things from our conferences but also potentially other things, and one
specifically for GNU, at audio-video.gnu.org. We will probably relocate
old videos in those places once they are ready and chugging along.
So, we launched the instance at media.libreplanet.org by publishing a
batch of videos from LP2013:
<http://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/first-batch-of-videos-from-libreplanet-2013-published>.
I would love to use the GHM videos as an opportunity to launch the new
audio-video.gnu.org in a similar fashion.
People in #mediagoblin on Freenode are very helpful for answering
questions for any difficulties encountered.
