Sharing videos are so important. This is what I suggest.
At the end of the wikimania, all videos shot (even if up to 15+ Gig) should be available for any attendee to copy onto their external hard drive or personal computer to take along to his/her originating country. At their home countries, they can share those videos directly also with their wikimedian friends who couldn't make it to the event.
Like myself, I could have gotten the videos easily from Sandister, which will be less costly, convenient, and faster to get instead of downloading or watching online.
I don't know of data costs in other parts of the world, but from where I am, downloading/watching online videos really cost. Plus, the down streaming speed isn't good.
Summary: Make all recorded videos available at the end of the event for anyone interested to copy (perhaps in an intranet) before person returns to their countries. Sharing of the videos should be decentralized.

Hi Deryck,
It's great to hear that the parallel sessions were recorded. :-) As a suggestion: those that are asking for these videos might also be willing to help edit and upload those videos to Commons. Would you be willing to share the raw recordings with interested individuals so that they could do so?
Thanks,
Mike
(who is not volunteering edit video recordings here! Although I can provide some FTP storage for video files if that would be useful.)
