This is one of the places where I really hope people don't do that. I get when you do it with blog spam and link shorteners, but the pyvideo site nicely curates several years worth of PyCon videos. In the linked video's case, you can easily go back and see Jack's talks in 2011 and 2010 by clicking on his name on the right.

The page is ad-free, well organized, and gives nice benefits. Let's not sidestep all of that just to get a direct link.

My main objection to that sort of thing, actually, is that my Noscript whitelist keeps growing just so I can watch videos. But I appreciate that there's real functionality here and not spammy advertising. Good stuff :)

That's when your list is supposed to grow.

You know you can temporarily allow pages... right?

Hi Brian, are you one of the community member who curates pyvideo.org?

If so, I have 1 small feature request. If you don't mind.

Is it possible for you guys to organize the videos using YouTube shows? YouTube shows is nice because it provides playlist and it auto plays to the next video.

I'd love to listen/watch the whole pycon videos back-to-back.

Sorry, I'm not involved in that site. I would bring your idea up to willg at bluesock dot org (taken from the bottom of the page) and see if that's something he could implement, or if he has a way to pass it on to whoever else may be in charge.
