I can lend a tripod for this. I live quite near the place where the
hackfest will take place, so that's easy :)
It's not a professional one, an it has "some" years ;-) but probably
it's better than nothing

About the boom pole, and the green screen, I do not own any, but there
is a public office which lends A/V stuff for associations. Maybe they
have one, and I could ask in behalf of GNOME Hispano.

If not, I know there is a company not quite far (1 or 2 miles) from
the hackfest which rents a professional studio. I know that probably
you want to minimize the costs, but anyway I can ask about some
prices. They also "rent" technical people for lighting and all the
rest

Waiting for comments... but I will do some calls meanwhile
