Andrew and I are trying some ad hoc solutions for video. Last night I watched the videos that I took with my camera that's designed more for stills than video, and the video quality is disappointing IMO. Andrew's videos are probably better because he has equipment that is purpose-built for the job. I've sent some suggestions about video internally, and hope that they'll be published on a "lessons learned" list.
Next year it seems likely that Cascadia Wikimedians will host the conference. As someone who is heavily invested in that group, I am hopeful that we'll get good quality recordings of at least a majority of the sessions in 2016.

:o) Thanks Keegan.
This may be far too much to ask - I don't know anything about costs and technicalities - but will it be possible in the near future to set up a camera and some microphones at every session in these kinds of conferences for people whose health, finances or other commitments prevent them from attending in person?

I've been following the conference online and I congratulate the
organisers
- some fascinating presentations and the videos are excellent. A link

the videos:

I recommend Stuart Ray's insightful presentation at 4 hours 36 minutes
on
day two (Saturday 10th), addressing Wikipedia's problematical
relationship
with experts.
Indeed!
A couple of points.
- I'd love to view or listen to a recording of the 45 minute
panel discussion held in the Jefferson Room at 12:15 on Saturday, "Journalism and the Online Information Community: How Wikimedians Cover Wikimedia." Was it recorded and will it eventually be put online?
The only official recordings are for the main hall. I attended the session, I'll be more than happy to relate how it went for you (Anthony,
or
others as needed) off-list
this coming week if you like/time zones line-up.
{{Nutshell|Wikipedia/Wikimedia is really complicated, and journalists
often
take the "easy way out" for publication because of the complexity. Wikimedians can do better in distributing news for external publication, and same publications should take care to understand what is being reported. The Signpost needs help.}}
