Re: [Wikimania-l] Video recording of Wikimania sessions
I'm trying to guerrilla video record as many Wikimania sessions that I can attend, so I cannot respond at length. But I do want to say: the cost/benefit analysis needs to consider the quality of the viewers and not just the quantity. When a Wikipedian in Residence can show their institution the video of their Wikimania presentation as evidence of impact and engagement, it can lead to renewal of their positions and more initiatives. When the video of a Wikimania panel on COI and PR editing can convince more multi-billion dollar PR firm to understand our guidelines and terms of use, that's a major outcome. When someone talks about Wiki Loves Earth, #100wikidays or other grassroots projects, video provides a unique window into the emotions and motivations you cannot capture in a mailing list or blog post. When in 10 years, we want to know the passions and personalities that led us to where the movement is, where will we look? If we're expecting Wikimania videos to rack up the same views as LOLcats, it ain't going to happen. It has always been a very small core community does a massive amount of the innovation and work that keeps the projects going, and the ability to talk to each other in deep, complex and accessible ways is vital.

Re: [Wikimania-l] Video recording of Wikimania sessions
I agree with Andy for the most part. My rule has always been that even if the image is amazing, if the audio is bad the audience will hate what they are watching and won't know why (it will be because they have to spend extra effort to understand the audio they are hearing). However IMHO for strictly archival and transcription purposes, cheap quick low-quality cellphone/cheap camcorder stuff CAN sometimes work. Also per what Isarra said, if audio is being amplified in any way, it's best to plug your video camera/audio recorder into that source directly, or indirectly https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:2015_Wikimania_press_conference-3.jpg : [image: File:2015 Wikimania press conference-3.jpg] Sometimes though, audience members will ask questions, and those might not be recorded. Again, having a professional there helps with this.

Re: [Wikimania-l] Soumaya reception
To add to Asaf ' s list of don'ts can I suggest for future Wikimanias: DON'T rely on buses to make round trips to get to venues DON'T try to squeeze the whole attendance of the event through one revolving door to a venue DON'T advertise food and drink when you mean a glass of fruit juice and finger food DON'T hold the group photo at a venue away from the main conference DON'T have music so loud it obliterates conversation On 18 Jul 2015 18:48, Asaf Bartov abar...@wikimedia.org wrote: According to a volunteer at the registration desk just now, three buses leave at 7:00, drop people at the museum, and then come back to pick up the rest. I think this means: 1. DON'T assume the bus won't leave BEFORE 7:30, or at 7:30. 2. DON'T assume there will be room on the later trip if too many people choose that instead of the earlier trip. In other words, to ensure you make it to the museum with the buses, you should probably be at the lobby at 7:00 and STAY there if you don't get on the first trip, so that you don't miss the second one.

That's a good idea too. Many Wikimedians have at least average quality cameras with video capability. If we could sync average quality video to high quality audio plus slide uploads to Commons, then I think we would do well. Just note that many cameras are limited to taking a half hour of video per file, which I heard is due to European laws that tax video equipment at higher rates than camera equipment. This may require presenters to pause briefly at half hour intervals for video recording to restart.

Your badge is your entrance to the reception, so please bring with you. If you will take the bus on Hilton please ask for a sticker. If not, just arrive presenting your badge at the entrance. We strongly encourage to you to leave your laptop at the hotel.
