Fair enough. Its a good thing definitely to start early. But we need
to also give enough time for volunteers to gather up and show interest
in the activity.

Vijay, When would you say is a  _hard_ deadline for this activity?

How about we give ourselves some leeway of about 1 week for videos to
be post processed. We ideally want them to be done on that day itself,
but let us just set aside some time to be sure of this.

Has a call for volunteers been sent out?

As I already said, I would like to take the charge on Open Spaces. I
don't want to take up too many tasks and not be able to deliver on
them.
