OSGUI Open Source Video Sharing site alternative to YouTube

[tim1980]

Hello all Ubuntu Users...

This is a invitation to you all to join the Open Source Linux Community of Video Makers on www.OSGUI.com where anybody can watch hundreds (and growing everyday) of interesting and unique videos about Ubuntu Linux, Linux Mint, and other matters related to Open Source Software...


OSGUI.com has been around for almost 3 years but has only been recently upgraded with the help of some Open Source developers to have the most capabilities of YouTube and Facebook type sites with Video Sharing, Social Networking, & Community support forums and chat.

We have a dozen other Open Source YouTubers with their channels of videos featured on OSGUI.com

What's wrong with youtube?
All you have is a joomla site with a bunch of linux youtube videos, I don't see any reason to bother with it.

1. Nothing much wrong with YouTube other than its 10 minute limit
2. OSGUI just shares Linux related videos from many Video Hosting sites like YouTube and Blip.tv & Google Video
3. we have full length Documentaries on Linux like The Code Linux
4. we have recordings of Linux User Group meetings and other Open Source / Linux / Ubuntu videos that go longer than 10 minutes so you will never find those on YouTube
5. yes searching Google Video is better, but the point of OSGUI is to create a united community working to produce and share with each other high quality videos of all kinds that could come from anywhere else on the web, a central nexus of co-operative Video Bloggers and Screencasters.
6. OSGUI is more than just video sharing, it also has Forums, IRC Chat, Polls, hundreds of original Articles, reviews, editorials, downloads section, marketplace, social networking, photo/image sharing gallery, and more...

It's an attempt to bring together the communities of all Linux Distros that enjoy videos or just want help

Nice. I will check it out. I suppose I can host my Firefox extension video tutorials there right?

I guess partners can upload longer videos.

Yeah You can share them on the site... it's not yet on a big enough server to host the videos uploaded to it, I hope to let users do that in the future.

For now you can post the videos you have made which would be hosted on sites like blip.tv and youtube

Turns out I can't. The site is just a wrapper using Joomla+Community Builder and an embedding video extension, so the videos must be uploaded somewhere else.

Edit: didn't see the previous post

For a short time YouTube gave some Partners the ability to upload videos longer than 10 minutes, no longer though, so it's only a few like Jupiter
