So far the video team has no cameras of it's own (other than those
belonging to individual team members). The Twinpacts can do either ntsc
or pal, it's just a dip switch setting. So, I guess my suggestion is,
wherever the conference is held, cameras are borrowed or rented locally
to match the local standard.
In any case, it seems to me that a debconf in the US is highly unlikely
to gain traction.
