The Idea was not to by specialized hardware but cheap hardware that works, something like a dslr along with wireless mic.

We can get good enough dslrs starting from 20,000-25,000

The whole reason was to keep hardware that belongs to the community instead of having to depend on individuals who may or may not be present at a given event.

This hardware would be kept with a person that comes to most meet ups like Anuvrat who would ensure that the piece is made available at the meet even if they themselves are not.


The reason for video recording is simple, to force the quality to be better by making things public.

This is not the only means of ensuring quality and quality is not the only reason for having video recording.

Video recordings are an insight to what we do for future community members.

It's as important to advertise the good you do as it is to do the good.

Otherwise all the efforts you have done till now will be lost and it will be as if nothing has happened.

I am for recording the talks. We still get to decide which ones are good enough to be put up. So we can control quality.

If at all this is required, we can pair up DSLR with Laptop running "Open Broadcaster Software" https://obsproject.com
This works very well with Youtube Live Streaming. This can merge multiple inputs including the presentation on the fly. For me it has always worked well.

I have been to one conference and one meetup till now. IMHO, our initial focus should be on improving quality of our talks, content and speakers. I think once we have met those 3 things then going for a video recording would be a better option.

One of the criteria we are trying to push forward when considering proposals for pycon is whether somebody has presented at a local meetup or not.
A video of their presentations in pydelhi could be used for surfacing first time speakers.

Neither have I ever learned something entirely from video tutorials / recordings of conferences. However, there have been instances when video did help: eg comprehending the twisted framework would have been impossible without EuroPython's workshop.

A thought at the back of speaker's mind, that their presentation will be etched in time forever, will may be implore them to give their best?
