I like to download various Linux/FLOSS conference talks from YouTube, convert them to webm and then post them to archive.org (assuming the licensing allows it). Here are direct links for anyone who cares:
# Serval Maps - Building Collaborative Infrastructure Independent Maps on Mobile - Romana Challans, Paul Gardner-Stephen
youtube-dl -t 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIVtXkDAIQ8'
# Smashing a square peg into a round hole: Automagically building and configuring - David Basden, Christopher Collins

Excellent! Thanks. That was fast.
The desktop summit should take note. All Gnome events always take forever to post their videos.

The Desktop Summit is not a Gnome event ;-)

I was told that the videos for the 2011 desktop summit actually have all been lost. (And even though I was there, I wasn't able to attend all that many talks, so I had rather counted on being able to check out some presentations later on.)

Let me guess, Gnome people lost them, right? They seem to have a habit of doing so. Just try to find videos for their events(there are only 2 categories: either not there or years late)

<irony> Well, almost all users come to watch only the latest talks, so lets just remove the old ones to make the site easier to use! No options are required then, hardly even a navigation bar! </irony>

Here are the official videos, transcoded directly from the DV sources http://linux.conf.au/wiki/index.php/Video. These were up within half a week of the conference, and most of the youtube videos were up by two days afterwards. Considering that they had to do editing, cutting etc, they did quite a good job.
