[23|15:35] <_sj_wiki> can someone tweak the upload size limit for commons to 35M or so, for a little while at least? [23|15:37]  sj: 35MB? What do you want to upload? Movies? [23|15:37] <_sj_wiki> long sound files [23|15:37] <_sj_wiki> conference transcripts. [23|15:37]  _sj_wiki: a wikimedia-conference? [23|15:37] <_sj_wiki> 20-35 MB ogg files from 60-120min sessions... [23|15:37] <_sj_wiki> jimbo moderated one of the sessions [23|15:37] <_sj_wiki> it was about credibility on the web [23|15:38] <_sj_wiki> credibility and journalism, etc. relevant and full of discussion about licensing and freedom of content [23|15:38] <_sj_wiki> 16 hours of conference in all, [23|15:38]  _sj_wiki: it would be best to split them into chunks i think [23|15:38] <_sj_wiki> broken into 4-5 segments/sessions. [23|15:38] <_sj_wiki> well... I only have the ogg files. [23|15:38]  also because people can download them more easily [23|15:38] <_sj_wiki> if you ahve a ncie way to chunk them, let me knowl [23|15:38]  Can only developers change upload limits? [23|15:39] <_sj_wiki> but I'd like to have the full sessions up too, [23|15:39]  if you put a short description on the files saying what topic each chunk is about [23|15:39] <_sj_wiki> since it's easy to listen to a whole session at a time [23|15:39]  bandwidth-chalanged folx will not have to download everything. [23|15:39] <_sj_wiki> w/out changing files. [23|15:39] <_sj_wiki> right, we should offer both. [23|15:39] <_sj_wiki> right now I only have access to the full files. [23|15:39]   [23|15:39]  _sj_wiki - if you cannot resolve the issue by altering upload limit, you could segment the file [23|15:39]  Into two parts [23|15:40] <_sj_wiki> amgine: indeed :) [23|15:40]  _sj_wiki: "changing files " is just a matter of creating a playlist. All players do that [23|15:40] <_sj_wiki> Duesentrieb: the chunking has to be done carefully then. [23|15:40]  _sj_wiki: nit in mid-sentence anyway. Best at some change of topic. [23|15:40] <_sj_wiki> anyway, throwing it out there. [23|15:41] <_sj_wiki> the files are here: [23|15:41] <_sj_wiki> http://zak.freeshell.org/ogg/ [23|15:41]  hm, afaik, you can cut mp3s in mid-file without breaking them, 'cause it's a streaming-format. [23|15:41]  not sure about ogg, though
