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.

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?

Indeed!
A couple of points.
1) 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.}}
