Hey folks! I got some pings from folks who had been re-sharing the October 2014 video presentation. Apparently it is currently unavailable on youtube. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-We4GZbH3Iw. Is there something y'all can do to bring it back online?

@EpochFail the same issue applies to most of the other youtube videos of the showcases before September 2015. I will have a look into the issue. Since you added the link to the youtube-video (diff), do you remember how the showcases were streamed and the videos then uploaded to youtube at the time?
@EpochFail I reached out to IT Services since they have been supporting us in live-streaming the showcases and uploading them to youtube. Unfortunately, they were not able to track the video. In fact, anything on YouTube before August 2015 is an unknown to the team. @BCampbell (WMF) mentioned that when he started in August 2015, they re-uploaded all videos on individual accounts to a few central accounts but the video you mention was not among them.
