There will be videos of the featured speakers, some of the hackathon, and a 
documentary available soon.   People involved in this will presumably be 
posting when these are available and up on Commons, etc.

I think in the future we might want to consider having cameras/tripods and 
especially good audio recording in each of the session rooms.  (I think that 
might be something WMF could provide equipment and make sure A-V service has 
good audio especially.)   We could then ask for volunteers on site to handle 
logistics/recordings.   This wouldn’t involve a lot of editing or 
post-production work/expense…  as long as people know that it would be pretty 
“basic”, but making sure we have good audio especially.   

I wil ask the upcoming Wikimania organizing team what they think of this idea 
and perhaps they will come up with a plan and/or put out a call for 
partcipation to make this happen next year?
