Thanks a lot Swaroop, We are expecting more inputs from you guys, and please free to add/modify the questions wikipedians have to keep in mind (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Subha_WMF/sandbox1). I have also received responses from Pune and Ahemadabad communities. If you guys can shoot some videos at the end of the meet ups as there will be a gathering of wikipedians it will be good. We can make a prototype video to make the Indic language communities understand the way they need to make this video.

Thanks
Subha

Let me clear this confusion.
Dear Srikanth R, *please* attempt to read the ENTIRE mail. I suggested
recording in a popular format because converting and editing ogv is a
PAIN. And, it reduces video quality by two times.
+1 to that. OGV, for all its "openness", is a big pain to work on, especially for converting.
Another thing, if we are to upload these videos to Commons,
*obviously* we will have to convert them to open formats. So, no one
is denying that. It is rather obvious and understood.

So now that we have cleared confusions, can the SIGs and guys
organizing meetups please raise hands? Will you guys be able to do
such recording?
*raises hand* I am willing to create such a video; I appreciate Subha's mail about what exactly to say, but it shouldn't be a boring, mechanical interview-style answering of questions. If it is to motivate others, it should be catchy (read ad-like).
