Hello Wikimedia Kenya,<div><br></div><div>So a week ago at Wikimania, my team&#39;s goal was to interview as many Wikipedians as possible on video, and I can&#39;t believe it but we actually did it. We recorded around 100 on-camera interviews from editors from all over the world. Now we have to begin the post-production process. (It was good to meet a few of you in person too).</div>
<div><br></div><div>I regret to say that since Wikimania, AGAIN my priorities have to shift from coming to Kenya -- to editing this video. There is a lot of footage to go through and only so much time to get it done correctly if it is going to play by the fundraiser. </div>
<div><br></div><div>That said, I feel I owe the Kenyan chapter some kind of a favor for all your patience. What I have is a <a href="http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/camcorders/professional_camcorders/xa10/">Canon XA-10 professional camcorder</a> that I won&#39;t be using while I&#39;m editing the Wikimania interview footage. I could loan it to the chapter for some time and let you decide how best to use it. It&#39;s a very compact, high-quality camera that is very easy to learn to use. It records on high-speed SD cards and can record for hours and hours at a time. I would be happy to help with any questions you may have about operating it or editing / manipulating footage from it. Please let me know if the chapter could use a camera like this for some time, and I will ship it immediately. </div>
<div><br></div><div>I&#39;d like to thank you for all your patience with me, I don&#39;t want to promise anything I can&#39;t deliver on - but I can say that I want to talk to all of you and hope I can be of service soon. Also if there is anything else I can do while I&#39;m editing footage, please let me know.</div>
