Before the conference

Speaker instructions

  • Please use your favourite IRC client to join #emacsconf-org on irc.freenode.net on the day of the conference. It should be a low-traffic channel for coordinating with speakers. Check in with sachac and bandali by saying hi, mentioning your name/talk if it's not obvious from your nick. Sacha (or the backup organizer) will coordinate with you for a tech check before you speak, and will give you the go-ahead to join a Jitsi session for the main presentation.
  • You can also join #emacsconf if you'd like to keep an eye on the conversations, or #emacsconf-questions for a more moderated view.
  • Please wear earphones or headphones in order to minimize microphone feedback.
  • Some of our attendees are blind, so please try to verbally describe what you're showing on the screen. We will also ask volunteers to describe what's going on in the #emacsconf channel (or maybe

    emacsconf-descriptive).
