Using the topic list in the blog is currently the easiest way to find videos, papers, etc. For example:

    https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/blog/tags/talks/
    https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/blog/tags/papers/

Also, Laura and Paul are working in some introductory videos right now (https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix/videos.git), and there are some ideas already about how to make the multimedia material about Guix more visible (https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2017-12/msg00260.html). This things will be available sooner or later. I haven't found some free time myself to help in that area :)
