If we had space on fedorapeople somewhere we could use nautilus on the
laptops to set up a gvfs / ssh mount and set ip a symlink so the vids
automagically get uploaded as they record?

This is incompatible with the approach of assigning sessions to funded
attendees to video nanny ahead of time, though.
No it isn't. We can ask funded people to do the video management for
talks. We can just not assign someone to the hack sessions.

We can rent mics if you think its important? We priced that out.
Let's price that out for sure. I'll also see if I can find out if we
can borrow some video kits.

Yep agreed, they exist mostly for the people doing transcription work.

Good idea. For predrafted content we could have a summary of upcoming
sessions that day. Maybe reminders about policies / wifi password / how
to get help / how to do yourvolunteer tasks. Info about how to get the
party bus the morning of that day. Maybe some advertisement of fedora
badges that could be earned and how to get them. We might also want to do
announcements day of based on how things go. Eg if people end up being
confused about where the pool is or where the closest pharmacy is or
whatever.
Can you get someone on the local team to take point on starting these
templates?
Also, let's start thinking about the badge. I'd love to see the badge
issued at the event not an evening activity, even if the theme is based
in part on the activity. I suggest this, echoing some others, because
we want people to realize we didn't just throw a big party. The badge
is pretty obvious to folks who aren't there.
