Description

General conference feedback

• Subtitles:
  • [regarding the adventure talk:] that is some hero subtitling on "cccc" to "C-c C-c". thank you!
  • subtitles useful for those who are deaf and broken sound
• No sound!!?? Good thing for captions!
• FWIW I think it's actually helpful when the subtitles are delayed by a few seconds, so I can watch and listen normally, but if I misunderstand a few words, I can look at the delayed subtitles and find out was said.
• Closing mpv with "Q" (rather than "q") will save position
• I can honestly say though that I had a great time putting my talk together. I hope people will have a good time listening to it. Now that the work is over, I can say it was worth it. so I recommend it warmly
• Nice way to display countdown  with emacs, that's why i love emacs and emacser
• Indeed, seeing all the use cases across so many fields is one of the big selling point of this coming together, loving it.
• this conference is crazy i am not sure i ever saw so much interesting emacs ideas in one day
• On Github: I once looking into commit activity in Vim vs. Neovim vs. Emacs and ... well ... Emacs is more actively developer despite not using github- Y'all, I have to say, this is like Christmas before Christmas every year. Emacsconf makes my year every year
• Thanks to the organizers for your tireless work, and to the most excellent presenters of today, what a treat!
• So many good talks
• many good talks, and a sense of community around emacs, which is nice to see
  • Agreed, I enjoyed a thread I saw on Hacker News yesterday. There was a lot of love in it for Emacs and its community
• i also have a feeling that it's hard to communicate with others when you start digging into a large system. your confusion diffuses. i felt similar when jumping into web framework and legacy apps. that's also why i liked emacsconf, watching others clarifies a lot of stuff. (memories of johnw edebug flash talk)
• the pacing, clarity, and depth of the talks today has been really impressive, a presentation masterclass
  • They're making me feel professionally inadequate
• Thank you for such responsiveness in running this conference!!!
• Yes, having the schedule in my own timezone was super helpful.
• emacsconf-attendee-mode? including etherpad-mode among others
• yeah virtual conf is fire thanks sacha
• What our Swiss friends are doing looks quite nice
• I've seen some virtual conferences (TeX / TUG?) that ran around-the-clock for different time zones.
  • that would be lovely!
