Description
- Welcome to EmacsConf 2021
- How to participate:
- Collecting questions, answers, and shared notes on Etherpad (https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/emacsconf-2021)
- You can also post questions and discuss things on #emacsconf on chat.emacsconf.org (frontend for libera.chat if you want to use your favorite IRC client)
- Conduct guidelines:
- One of the neat things about Emacs is that there are so many ways to do things. Please remember to be nice! =)
- What's new in this EmacsConf 2021
- Lots of talks! Shorter time, Q&A might be live/pad/IRC, might have alternate stream if needed
- Streaming with open captions thanks to volunteers - all the day 1 talks have been captioned, and we might get day 2 sorted out too
- Prerecorded videos will be published as soon as we can (aiming for publishing them as the talks stream, so you can easily catch up with any talks you've missed)
- APAC-time-friendly alternate stream by LibreAustralia folks https://libreau.org/past.html#emacsconf21
