Yes, I would like to express a huge thank you to all those involved
with the streaming. I was particularly impressed that most talks had
multiple camera set-ups and live cutting to keep it more visually
engaging. It really made me feel a part of the conference and it's
been an inspiring couple of days listening to people from all over the
world that share one vision.

"Last year's system of encoding the videos to OGG overnight and
uploading them to Commons the next afternoon was pretty awesome;
unfortunately we won't be doing that this year, but the organization
have told me (on wikimania-l) that they will obtain the OGGs from the
video company on DVD(s), and I have asked them to mail that/those
DVD(s) to our datacenter so I can import all videos to Commons when
they arrive." - Roan Kattouw

Does this mean there will not be uploads of the talks for 2010? I
watched all the streaming I could, but obviously one can only watch
one stream at a time.

My dream scenario is that every talk is uploaded and linked to from
the schedule page [1]

Also, a minor query but it's bugging me; the schedule for each day
shows, in blue, "spotlight on posters" and "posters" are listed at the
bottom of the schedule in yellow. I can't figure out why the term
"posters" is used?
