The FOSDEM server team runs mirrorbrainz on video.fosdem.org, I don't know how that decides that the video is available on at least one mirror, but what causes the spikes in availability of videos must be in there somewhere.
@fosdem
The dispatcher does a HEAD request for a single file of every talk that is in the publishing state, then inspects the returned data. If that indicates that the video is public, it moves to the next state.

@fosdem
Pity. My colleague sighed up for that and is wondering if there is space in another workshop that he could still attend instead?
See https://review.video.fosdem.org/overview and https://dashboard.fosdem.org (the 'SReview stats' dashboard) to follow along at home.
If you are doing genuinely good things, and making the world better, I don't give a fuck why you're doing it. You want recognition and attention, so what. You're just doing it, because your friends are idgaf, you feel pressured from other people, who cares. We can spend so much time tearing apart motives and guess what, it doesn't matter, and most of the people screaming, "They're just doing it for attention!", aren't doing jack shit. We don't need to wait to do good things for the "right reasons", we can just do them. And we can most definitely shut up, about why other people are.
All talks have a feedback link, please give feedback about speaker, room occupation etc to help us improve.
General feedback can also be sent to feedback(at)fosdem(dot)org
For speakers who gave a talk. Please check your mail with a link to our review system and review your talk (5 min check to mark the start and finish of your talk and check if the audio quality is ok).
The sooner you review your talk, the sooner it will get published.
For speakers who gave their talk, you should have received a mail with the link to review your recording. We encourage you to perform the review, the sooner it gets reviewed, the sooner it gets published on the site!
(But yes, that's because I was born early enough to have experienced it and to want it back)
