A little late in posting this, but here is what we discussed in our team meeting last Thursday:

@roseapplemedia has all the US camera kits at his home base this month.
We are going to use this time to update and improve our camera documentation here: https://plan.wordcamp.org/video/
Because Michael will have the actual gear in his possession, he will be doing short setup videos for all our kits and gear
WordCampWordCamp WordCamps are casual, locally-organized conferences covering everything related to WordPress. They're one of the places where the WordPress community comes together to teach one another what they’ve learned throughout the year and share the joy. Learn more. Outreach – One of the biggest problems we have with docs is not that they are out of date, but that WC organizers almost never see them.
How do we let camps know about this awesome resource?
@johnparkinson has volunteered to take point in wrangling WordCamp outreach. Posting soon to get some ideas about what we can try. Yay John!
