Nice initiative! Count on me for helping. :-)

I agree.

In your views, the presentation is 3-5 minutes exposing the topic then
live discussion/Q&A. Or 3-5 minutes video then 10-20 minutes of live
presentation and then live Q&A?
(The post provides a better explanation but I am not sure to fully get
what you have in mind.)

This alias received a lot of spam, IIRC. Do we use the same than past
year? Or do we use guix-days2022@gnu.org? And then drop it a couple of
weeks after the event.

Although BoF is often used, last year, some people raised it is not so
common. Naming is hard. ;-) I am fine with this name, just to be sure
it is fine.

Ahah! Maybe one day, the ones of last year will be there first. ;-)

No, it is not possible to upload to auido-video.gnu.org. Instead, let
create something as videos.guix.gnu.org pointing to one of Bordeaux or
Berlin machine and put all the videos we have around.
