If you search for LILUG you should see all of them. But I guess the results are 
getting crowded.

Some of the videos are linked from the appropriate Meeting pages.

I've looked into this possibility but wikimedia does not support the embed tag 
natively. Last I checked there were plugins/patches  which enabled support for 
some type of embed objects or sources. For some reason it would not work with 
archive.org.

Not sure if everyone's aware but archive.org does allow you to embed media 
published through them in other sites.

It'd be a nice wikimedia hack for a devsig!
