EmacsConf 2024 will be on Dec 7 (Sat) and Dec 8 (Sun), 2024 from 9am-5pm Toronto/EST time (US/Eastern); equivalently, 6am-3pm PST, 2pm-10pm UTC, 3pm-11pm Zurich/CET, 7:30pm-4:30am(next-day) India/IST, 10pm-6am GMT+8.

You can view the live conference streams in a streaming web player such as MPV or via the watch pages in the table above. If you need to reverse the video for easier viewing (ex: turning dark mode into light mode), try a command like mpv --vf=negate URL.

If you experience any disruptions (including weird audio), try waiting a minute or two and then reloading the page you're using to watch the video. If that still doesn't work, please check our status page at https://status.emacsconf.org for updates on the status of various parts of our infrastructure, and instructions on how to get in touch with us about disruptions.

We will also try to rebroadcast on YouTube. Youtube events:

(Unfortunately, we're running into issues livestreaming to Toobnix/PeerTube.)

To participate in the Q&A, please check the talks index for a link to the talk page, and read these Q&A tips. The talk page will have the Q&A details, including the Etherpad link, IRC channel, and optionally a BigBlueButton room (BBB) for live Q&A via web conference.

BigBlueButton web conference (Javascript required): If you plan to participate in Q&A in the BigBlueButton room, please use headphones or earphones in order to minimize audio feedback. The link on the talk page will take you to a waiting room that will automatically refresh when the host has opened the Q&A. If you are having a hard time joining or participating, you may need to switch to Mozilla Firefox, Chromium, or Google Chrome. Please let us know in #emacsconf-org in case we can help you troubleshoot.

Etherpad (Javascript required): The Etherpad for general EmacsConf discussions is at https://pad.emacsconf.org/2024. The schedule and the talk pages link to the Etherpads for the specific talk. Please feel free to add notes and questions to the Etherpad.

IRC: You can join IRC using https://chat.emacsconf.org (Javascript required) or your favourite IRC client (no Javascript required). Here are the irc.libera.chat:6697 IRC channels that we'll be using this year:

  • #emacsconf-gen: discussion for the General track
  • #emacsconf-dev: discussion for the development track
  • #emacsconf: hallway conversations, other general conversations
  • #emacsconf-org: if you need to get in touch with the organizers

You can use the /JOIN command in an IRC client to join a different channel. Ex: /join #emacsconf-org if you want to talk to the organizers.

Without Javascript: If you prefer to avoid Javascript, you can still ask your questions via IRC in the relevant track channel (#emacsconf-gen or #emacsconf-dev). Volunteers will read your questions out loud during sessions with web-conference Q&As or copy them into the Etherpad for you. If we miss your question because the discussion is very busy, we'll catch it afterwards and send it to the speaker.

Videos: Pre-recorded talk videos will be available on the talk pages and on YouTube after the talks go live, and other videos (including Q&A) will also be added to the talk pages once we process them. (Probably by January.) You can subscribe to emacsconf-discuss for updates: https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacsconf-discuss

Accessibility: Pre-recorded talks will be streamed with open captions, and the transcripts will be posted to the talk pages as well. If you have any accessibility requests, please join the #emacsconf-org and let us know, or e-mail emacsconf-org-private@gnu.org to reach the organizers.
