This PR is an attempt to remove video links (six of them) on the page for the first RacketCon (2011).

The background is that although following any of these video links results in navigation to a corresponding page on youtube, none of the videos is viewable. At least, it doesn't appear to work from various countries (including AFAICT from at least some portions of the U.S.). The error message I see is:

This video contains content from nuACM. It is not available in your country.

An example of one of the aformentioned links is this one. Note that an initial view of what appears to be a speaker in front of a group of people sitting in chairs might be viewable briefly after navigation. Perhaps an image that youtube has cached?

A suggestion was made by @spdegabrielle on the racketcon channel of the Discord server to remove the links as "the nuACM account videos are lost".

Ideally someone at Northeastern might be able to restore the videos or get us copies.

nuACM has reconstituted itself just this past month. Give them a couple of months.
