[Foundation-l] Wikimedia Foundation monthly meeting video

[Yann Forget]

Hello,

This is very good, but downloading a video of 1.9 GB is totally out of
question here.
FYI, most Internet connection scheme in India give a maximum of 5 GB monthly.
So a smaller version would be much appreciated.

Regards,

Yann
