Description

Transcript

[00:00:00.000] Tracks
Welcome to EmacsConf, where we have fun exploring just how much we can do with a text editor. There's a General track and a Development track, but really, you'll probably find interesting things on both tracks no matter what your level of experience is, so don't feel limited to one or the other.
[00:00:16.000] Watching and participating
The best parts of EmacsConf are the conversations. The wiki has a page on how to watch and participate, and I'll give you a quick overview as well. You can watch both streams at live.emacsconf.org using free and open source software. Using a streaming media player like mpv seems to be the best way to watch in terms of performance but there are also web-based players just in case that's all you've got. The schedule shows the General track on top and the Development track on the bottom, so you can see what else is going on. As you're watching the talks, you can refer to the schedule in another window. Hover over the boxes to see the times and titles, and click on the boxes in the schedule to jump to the talk's page for more details.
[00:01:00.607] Other schedule formats
You can also get the schedule as an iCalendar file or as an Org file in different time zones.
[00:01:05.621] BigBlueButton
Many talks will be followed by live Q&A web conferences with the speaker, which will be done in BigBlueButton or BBB. These are indicated with a solid border on the schedule and by Q&A: BBB on the schedule page. You can join the web conference room by clicking on the BBB link on the schedule page or the talk's webpage. Then you can ask your questions yourself when the Q&A starts. To improve performance, please keep your webcam off and stay muted until it's your turn to talk. If you don't like Javascript, you can still ask questions via IRC and the hosts can read them out for you.
[00:01:41.056] On and off the stream
We're probably going to automatically switch between talks and Q&A sessions, so the transitions on the stream might be a little sudden. People in the BigBlueButton room can continue the conversation even after the talk moves off-stream, and you can also reach out to the speakers using the contact information on the talk page.
[00:01:58.237] Etherpad and IRC
Other talks will have Q&A via Etherpad or IRC, depending on what the speakers prefer. This is indicated in the schedule with a dashed border and on the schedule page as well. The schedule pages have quick shortcuts so that you can find out more about talks, open the Etherpads, and join the Q&A sessions. The watch page has more tips on how to make the most of Q&A.
[00:02:20.476] Etherpad
If you can, please add notes and ask questions in the Etherpad for the talk. That makes it easier for everyone to share their notes, and speakers and hosts can read the questions from there. We'll copy the notes to the talk pages afterwards. We have one pad for each talk, so you can follow the links to get to the next one or go back to the schedule and get the link from there. If you have general feedback about the conference itself, please put it in pad.emacsconf.org/emacsconf. You can also use this as a community message board for things like Help Wanted.
[00:02:54.460] IRC
Internet Relay Chat or IRC can be another great way to be part of lots of conversations. You can use chat.emacsconf.org to join the IRC channels through your web browser. The tabs on the left can help you switch between the different channels. There's #emacsconf-gen for the General track and #emacsconf-dev for the Development track. If you need to reach us, you can join #emacsconf-org or e-mail emacsconf-org-private@gnu.org. You can use #emacsconf for hallway conversations.
[00:03:27.798] Captions
Once again, we're going to be streaming with open captions for most of the talks this year, thanks to our speakers and captioning volunteers. The captioned talks are indicated on the schedule, and with any luck, we'll be posting videos and transcripts on talk pages shortly after the talks start. If you need additional accommodations, please let us know in #emacsconf-org and we'll see if we can make things happen.
[00:03:50.258] status.emacsconf.org
If something goes down, we'll update status.emacsconf.org. If it doesn't look like we've noticed yet, please let us know in the #emacsconf-org IRC channel, where we will be quietly panicking.
[00:04:02.302] Guidelines for conduct
In all of these conversations, please keep in mind our guidelines for conduct. You can find them on the wiki, and they basically boil down to: please be nice. Thank you!
[00:04:11.040] Videos
If all goes well, the prerecorded talks and transcripts should be available from the talk pages shortly after they start playing, and we'll post the recordings of live talks and Q&A sessions within the next few weeks.
[00:04:21.796] Let's get started!
All right, let's get going. You might see Leo Vivier, Corwin Brust, and Amin Bandali hosting the various tracks. I will run around mostly backstage, and you'll probably meet us in the closing remarks. That's also where we get to thank all the people and organizations who make EmacsConf possible. Let's have fun at EmacsConf!
