[Inpycon] Video Management in PyCon India 2015

[Kiran Jonnalagadda]

Thanks for the vote of confidence, Arvi and Shrayas.

We got into video recording because we couldn't find anyone who could
deliver the quality we wanted at the turnaround time we wanted.

Rahul Ravindran, who is a PyCon video volunteer, also volunteered at JSFoo
2014 and we had a turnaround time of less than 1 hour after each talk for
processing the video (videos were released overnight however because of
bandwidth constraints).

The PyCon crew is a doing a great job already, and I'm happy to continue
offering equipment and training pro bono on behalf of HasGeek.

Kiran
