Yes, they are also being invited to participated, it's about Indian Editors and Indian faces.

Here are the answers I have to all of you.@Noopur: nice points, I am including them all and here is draft for the community which I will be posting in the respective Wikipedia Village pumps. (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Subha_WMF/sandbox1)
@Ashwin, the videos you, Nitika and Swaroop are working will be hardcore outreach videos to teach how to edit Wikipedia.@Konarak, thanks a lot buddy, let us get the footages and we would definitely seek your support for the post production. Moover, we would be more than happy if you lead the event to get the videos done in your place from the community members.
@Srikanth, the final video will be in Commons and obviously with .ogv format. But the raw footage will be in .mov/avi/mpeg, they are the formats used before editing. After editing we will convert the final video into .ogv.

Subha, What about the Indian English Community?
Noopur, Thanks for the ideas, but one small suggestion. Format- Keep it OGV.
We can't be promoting an open project with a closed format video no?
Konark, Good to see young brains like you volunteering on this.
Ashwin, Can I have a link please?

Nitika & MikeLynch & some others have just begin working in this field
and a prototype video on how to create an account has been made. Imho
these efforts should be combined.
Warm regards,

Editors "We Edit Wikipedia"
Hey Subhashish,
I think it's a great idea. In case people are thinking of recording
such a video, I would love to help you edit and here are some
suggestions for community members:
- Put it on your next meetup agenda. Do it in the meetup itself
- It could be one single person saying "I edit wikipedia" or a group.
More than 1 is welcome
- For editing purposes, it is better if you record video in room with
LESS noise and MORE light
- Try and keep video in MPEG, Avi or MP4, so that while editing we
don't have to convert and lose quality.
- You can use any normal digital camera, even your (iphone) camera :P
Just try and minimize shaking.
Cheers
Noopur

Deal all,
As a part of helping the community to reach out to more people apart
from
the presentations, handouts, FAQs and mailing list support we also have
need
for more visuals. Audio/Video clips containing Indian Wikipedians
sharing
their message "I EDIT WIKIPEDIA" or "I EDIT AN INDIAN LANGUAGE
WIKIPEDIA" or
"WIKIPEDIA IS HELPING ME DOCUMENTING MY HERITAGE" will create impact
among
people and motivate them to contribute to Wikipedia. Many people use
Wikipedia in a daily basis without being aware of they can also [Edit]
it,
social media, Youtube, mails containing link to such a video can be used
to
reach this message to them. Moreover, such videos which are already
there in
Outreach (outreach.wikimedia.org) Bookshelf might make some people feel
it's
project being managed by some foreigners. Seeing some real Indians
editing
Wikipedia with the Main page of an Indian language background will
definitely make this message clearer.
If there is a fairly good no of community members located in anywhere in
India (e.g Pune, Bangalore and Mumbai community) we can ask the
community
members say it altogether aloud apart from one/two community members
speaking in their own language. I will be posting the details in the
community village pumps, you are allowed to send as many people's
footage as
you can provided the video and audio quality are reasonable good. We
will be
collecting footage from all the communities and do a post production.
