Starting a Polaris Meetup Youtube Channel?

Hey folks,

We had a fantastic meetup at the Microsoft Redmond office last week. Thank
you to everyone who attended! We had a great turnout and, as promised,
cake. 🎂

I have recordings from the 2 speaking sessions. Should we start a YouTube
channel for community meetups?
I help run a similar channel for Iceberg Meetup [1] for the same purpose. A
few community volunteers have access to the channel and periodically upload
videos from local meetups.

I'd love to hear what others think about this idea!

Best,
Kevin Liu

Thanks Yufei! That would be super helpful!
For the @IcebergMeetup channel, I created a new gmail account and used that
to create the Youtube channel. It's a "Brand Account" which allows multiple
gmail accounts to manage the channel.

I'll connect with PMC members to add interested folks as admins.
