Hmmm... I never noticed the autocaption feature. You are right, it did not do a good job with my video, I see lines like "Apache see a mass from the perspective over murder on Apache project", which is not quite what I intended ;-) > This left me with several questions: > 1 Is there a specific channel dedicated to AOO docs or sharing other good > AOO videos created by others? > Not currently. We've been using personal accounts. There was some discussion about the YouTube non-profit program, but no one has worked through the requirements to see what is needed: https://www.youtube.com/nonprofits Is this something you are familiar with at all? We'd like to avoid having a Youtube account that is tied to a single person's Google login. We'd like something branded as Apache OpenOffice where we can have multiple authorized editors/managers from the project able to add videos, etc. Ideally we'd be able to curate a selection of relevant videos that others have put on YouTube as well. > 2 Who decides where the videos go or which ones go on YouTube? > There is no particular plan or policy on this. > 3 Finally, to my greatest interest, is there any current effort to caption > AOO videos?

If you want an Apache-wide perspective (there are over 100 Apache projects at the ASF) then you can post a query to the community development project at d...@community.apache.org.
