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?
