Indeed we are always repeating the same things. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_Handbook#Video_recording_and_streaming

Yeah, while it would be nice to have the raw video I think you may have a wrong idea here. HDV video has about 10GB per hour. 8 parallel sessions 4.5h per day per session 3 days (last day a bit shorter)
With that I get about one TB of raw video data. Good luck uploading that to an FTP server...
Not an FTP server, but on archive.org even 1 TB is easy. :) No need to ship hard disks to other continents; it also takes care of the format conversion. Bulk upload tool: https://github.com/kngenie/ias3upload I have already uploaded the videos from livestream: https://archive.org/search.php?query=subject%3A%22Wikimania+2013%22

Fortunately, next year everything will be live streamed and available immediately.

I don't see any such reassurance in there.
