Hey, We're running video for a Debian conference in Switzerland two weekends after PyConZA. If the equipment needs overlap, I'm not too confident that shipping our hardware halfway around the world will work out considering postal and customs delays as well as just plain volunteer delays, etc. We also don't have a good story for doing temporary imports using commercial shipment companies. I don't think I'll be able to come up with one in less than a month (but someone should definitely feel free to try). However, an exact inventory of what's needed would be useful before we can assess whether we can do anything or not. Thanks, -- Nicolas Dandrimont
