2017 was the last time the Foundation did not obtain copies of 
the videos. The YouTube channel started in 2018 and from that 
time and on into the future the Foundation has hosted and will 
host all of the DConf videos. And we'll soon have our own copies 
of all of the 2015 videos in case the UVU channel goes away some 
day.

A few of the 2013/14 videos are in the Internet Archive. They 
have to be uploaded manually. Someone created a D account for it 
and uploaded them there at some point. When I created the 
Foundation's channel, I downloaded those and ripped the rest of 
the 2013/14 videos from various YouTube accounts, then uploaded 
them to our channel.  So we have everything now except the 
2016/17 copies.
