Not really outsourced like the past few years. HasGeek helped us since
the founder is a Pythonista and an active volunteer. The fact that their
business is conferences is a happy coincidence.

HasGeek does it the same way. Once the talk is over, the video is ready
to be uploaded. There were a few snags but the problems, as far as I
know, were all incidental and avoidable.

I'm sure we'd benefit from Carl's experience. However, It is expensive
to fly someone in and back though so it highly depends on the the
budget. Video recording doesn't usually figure as a big piece and if we
have to get someone from abroad to do it, it might raise our costs
significantly.
