Hrm. That's less optimistic :-/

His reply also isn't entirely optimistic.

We should still be prepared to fall back to dvswitch then, I guess.
That means we definitely need DV cameras, and so I think it makes sense
to ship stuff from Paris to Cape Town (because renting DV cameras in
this day and age is... well, let's not go there).

We should probably focus on that first then, so that we know it is
sorted.

So, inventory:
- DV cameras and some laptops are in Paris. Last year, Mehdi went to
  IRILL and organized shipping. This year, Mehdi is running for DPL, so
  I'm assuming he'll have less time (especially right now, during
  campaigning) to deal with that. Anyone on this list who's in Paris and
  who could take care of that? If not, we'll need to find someone else.
- We received a number of X220 laptops last year. What happened to them
  again?
- We bought a number of firewire expresscards. If I'm not mistaken, I
  took them home (but I could be mistaken, it's been a while). I'll
  double-check that; if I have them, they can easily go in my luggage
  (they're certainly small enough). On that subject though, I'm not
  happy with them; they were far too unreliable.
- For screen capture, presumably we'll not be using the twinpacts
  anymore but these HDMI2USB thingies instead; these seemed to work well
  enough at the cambridge miniconf. If so, we don't need as many
  firewire-capable laptops; we could then keep the laptops with builtin
  firewire for the camera connections, and use the X220s for the
  HDMI2USB thingies.
- We'll need to ship some audio gear from Paris to Cape town, too, and
  we'll also need to rent some stuff locally. Someone with more
  knowledge of audio than yours truly should talk with the local team
  and get that prepared.
- ... anything I missed?
