Description Roxanne Joncas CLA 2013-04-12 14:56:02 EDT
We plan to migrate from Eclipse Live to our new Eclipse YouTube Channel. This change would allow for a simple and seamless sharing process. It would create more exposure and will drive more traffic to your channel or individual videos.

If we move forward with this change, we will start directing users to the YouTube Channel. In the future, all you will need to do is send us a link to your YouTube video and we will add it to one of our playlists.

YouTube Channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/Eclipsefdn

Please share any comments or concerns you may have.
Comment 1 Christopher Guindon CLA 2013-04-15 13:58:10 EDT
We've made the following changes to Eclipse Live today:

- "Eclipse Account" authentication is now disabled
- Added a notice message to all the pages of Eclipse Live
Comment 2 Paul Verest CLA 2013-04-26 03:02:15 EDT
I am very disappointed from your decision to use only one video hosting provider.

Do you know that YouTube is not available in China, so you disregarding the second largest country by Eclipse usage.

See marketplace.eclipse.org/metrics/successful_installs/last30days_bycountry

What do you recommend?
Comment 4 Paul Verest CLA 2013-04-27 09:31:44 EDT
Searching for video hosting companies in China, that could distribute Eclipse Live content.

I could help a little with searching, but I need too know some information.
What is average size per month, expected view rates. 

I any case, there must access to video for some registered users/software, so that hosting on platforms other than Google would not run into organizational difficulties.
Comment 5 Ian Skerrett CLA 2013-04-28 12:58:00 EDT
Eclipse Live aggregated content it never actually hosted videos so I don't think this will have a huge change for Chinese users.
Comment 6 Paul Verest CLA 2013-04-28 23:14:48 EDT
@Ian Skerrett 
But now it will. This is what this all issue about.

Comment 8 Nobody - feel free to take it CLA 2013-04-29 07:58:43 EDT
What about the existing material on Eclipse Live? From the announcement on http://live.eclipse.org/ it's not clear to me how to access the existing stuff in the future ..
Thanks

How will it impact Chinese users?  If they were browsing Eclipse Live and found a video they wanted to watch, the chances were high that video was hosted on YouTube so they would have been stopped from watching.

We will keep Live in read-only mode for the next several months or at least until people stop using it.  Again, most of the content is hosted in other places so we won't be losing it but it just won't be aggregated.
Comment 11 Christopher Guindon CLA 2013-10-04 15:40:52 EDT
Update:

We've decided to terminate live.

Denis, could you please setup a wildcard redirect of live.eclipse.org to our youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/EclipseFdn


We will keep all the files for live on the server for 6 months. After 6 months, we will completely remove it from our servers and add it to our archives.

thanks

It's looks like https://www.youtube.com/EclipseFdn doesn't work all the time. We should use instead:

https://www.youtube.com/user/EclipseFdn

Sorry.

I've asked Matt to set up the redirect.  I think it's Puppet controlled now.

We closed down Eclipse Live 4 months ago. 

Is it time for us to archive the files/database and remove it from our web servers?

+1 for archiving Eclipse Live
Comment 16 Denis Roy CLA 2014-02-11 09:38:20 EST
Site was archived to /home/data/httpd, DB to /home/data common and the DB credentials were pulled.  We're done.
