<div dir="ltr">Hi Will,<div><br></div><div>A bunch of questions,</div><div><br></div><div> * What existing hardware do you have and how is it currently being used?<br></div><div> * Can you provide a link to any existing videos that you have published?</div><div> * Can you provide information on who will be doing the recording, editing and publishing of your videos?<br></div><div><br></div><div>Purchasing a camera is the easy part, unless you have a dedicated group of individuals who are doing recording you won't get any results (let alone usable ones). Typically what happens is that new equipment is purchased, someone gets excited about doing the recording, they record one or two events and then the equipment ends up collecting dust.</div><div><br></div><div>Camera quality is also the *least* important part of capturing technical content, both the audio quality and slide capture quality is significantly more important and generally it is more sensible to invest money towards those. You have described your current setup, so it is unclear to me if you already have those areas covered already.</div><div><br></div><div>Lastly, have you tried reaching out to other groups in Sydney? You might find that /someone/ has a large amount of recording equipment and would be interested in helping groups that are excited about recording their proceedings.</div><div><br></div><div>Tim 'mithro' Ansell</div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 1 December 2016 at 17:42, Linux Australia Vice President <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:vice-president@linux.org.au" target="_blank">vice-president@linux.org.au</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<p>As a matter of due diligence, I can confirm the following
financials for WordCamp Sunshine Coast and WordCamp Sydney (the
latter which Wil ran with the excellent help of Kristen Symonds as
Treasurer).</p>
<ul>
<li>Overall profit WordCamp Sydney: $21,348<br>
</li>
<li>Overall profit WordCamp Sunshine Coast: $6449</li>
</ul>
<p>These amounts are inclusive of an amount we require events to
return to LA for assistance with items such as insurance, bank
fees, auditing and so on. <br>
</p>
<p>The approved budget for 2016-2017 financial year includes an
amount of $15k for grants and donations, and $10k of this is
earmarked for Software Freedom Conservancy (we've been waiting to
see if $AUD to $USD becomes more favourable, alas not). So, a $2k
grant here would leave $3k remaining in the grants budget. <br>
</p>
<p>TL;DR, this is within budget and represents no financial imposte
to LA. <br>
</p>
<p>Kind regards,</p>

Project Name: WordPress Sydney Video Camera<br>
<br>
Aim of Project: To obtain a good HD quality video camera to
record presentations at local meetups and connected events.<br>
<br>
Person Responsible for Request: Wil Brown<br>
<br>
Request:
<div>As co-organiser of the WordPress Sydney meetup and lead
organiser of WordCamp Sydney conferences I would like to apply
for a $2000 grant to purchase a good HD quality video camera
and accessories (bag, tripod, mic, SD cards) for our meetup
events and related events such as WordCamp Sydney and
MeetupMixup Sydney.</div>
<div><br>
<div>The aim would be to publish presentations via YouTube to
further engage with the WordPress and open source community.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The camera would get good use at our WordCamp events as a
hall cam to engage directly with attendees.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Kind regards,</div>
<div>Wil.</div>
