Recently the YouTube Ubuntu Developer Channel has been launched. The channel currently has four videos from the Ubuntu Developer Summit (UDS) that is going on this week. The videos interview various people involved with Ubuntu and discuss that person’s views, what the person does, and what the person sees in the future of Ubuntu. I don’t know where the idea for this came from, but I think it is a great idea. It gives people a chance to get an idea of what is going on in Canonical and Ubuntu and to get some idea who the main Ubuntu developers are.

Because the interviews are with developers, though, they tend to be fairly technical. Because of this, it would be great to have another channel that shows off the best promotional videos for the less technical. The two channels could then link to each other. This would help prevent new users from being intimidated or scared off by the level of technicality, but also let users who wanted to learn more about the developement of Ubuntu see more detail.
