As for 2012 and beyond, I'll send an e-mail to the
organizers soon with
guidelines for getting the videos to us in a way that's useful to us; a
lot of the WMF-side delay was because the data we got wasn't as useful
as it should have been, so we probably didn't xommunicate what we needed
well enough. I'll try to publish that information on meta as well where
possible (I may not be allowed to publish things like addresses).
Thank you very much for stepping in, Roan, and for your help in the
past. That email will be very useful, I'd suggest to copy such
documentation to
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania/Handbook#Upload as well
(someone will refactor it if needed).
I think that asking the WMF to deal with conversion and hard disks is an
inherently bad idea; it's wrong enough to need server-side uploads...
Uploading to
archive.org will avoid most of the headaches which were
mentioned.
