00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.519
Welcome to EmacsConf 2022, where we get to find out
00:00:03.520 --> 00:00:06.239
just how crazy a text editor can get.
00:00:06.240 --> 00:00:08.319
There were so many interesting talks
00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:11.319
that we couldn't figure out how to fit them in two days,
00:00:11.320 --> 00:00:14.119
so this year we're experimenting with having two tracks.
NOTE
[[file:/home/sacha/screenshots/Screenshot_2022-12-03_00-29-06.png]]
00:00:14.120 --> 00:00:16.119
There's a General track and a Development track,
00:00:16.120 --> 00:00:17.959
but really, you'll probably find
00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:19.599
interesting things on both tracks
00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:22.159
no matter what your level of experience is,
00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:25.079
so don't feel limited to one or the other.
00:00:25.080 --> 00:00:26.999
If we all figure out this track thing together,
00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:29.879
that could mean being able to have even more Emacs talks
00:00:29.880 --> 00:00:32.839
next year, so let's give it a try!
NOTE Conversations
[[file:/home/sacha/screenshots/Screenshot_2022-12-03_00-22-47.png]]
00:00:32.840 --> 00:00:35.719
The best parts of EmacsConf are the conversations.
00:00:35.720 --> 00:00:38.279
The wiki has a page on how to watch and participate,
00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:40.839
and I'll give you a quick overview as well.
NOTE
[[file:/home/sacha/screenshots/Screenshot_2022-12-03_00-23-52.png]]
00:00:40.840 --> 00:00:43.999
You can watch both streams at live.emacsconf.org
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:46.279
using free and open source software.
NOTE
[[file:/home/sacha/screenshots/Screenshot_2022-12-03_01-00-29.png]]
00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:48.199
The schedule shows the General track on top
00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:49.959
and the Development track on the bottom,
00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:52.159
so you can see what else is going on.
NOTE
[[file:/home/sacha/screenshots/Screenshot_2022-12-03_00-24-24.png]]
00:00:52.160 --> 00:00:54.559
The track pages have quick shortcuts so that you can
00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:57.359
find out more about talks, open the Etherpads,
00:00:57.360 --> 00:01:00.799
and join the Q&A sessions. The watch page has more tips
00:01:00.800 --> 00:01:02.119
on how to make the most of Q&A.
NOTE Etherpad
[[file:/home/sacha/screenshots/Screenshot_2022-12-03_00-24-44.png]]
00:01:02.120 --> 00:01:05.759
If you can, please add notes and ask questions
00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:08.519
in the Etherpad for the talk. That makes it easier
00:01:08.520 --> 00:01:10.079
for everyone to share their notes,
00:01:10.080 --> 00:01:13.119
and speakers and hosts can read the questions from there.
00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:16.039
We'll copy the notes to the talk pages afterwards.
NOTE
[[file:/home/sacha/screenshots/Screenshot_2022-12-03_00-25-06.png]]
00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:18.319
We have one pad for each talk this year,
00:01:18.320 --> 00:01:20.919
so you can follow the links to get to the next one
00:01:20.920 --> 00:01:23.959
or go back to the schedule and get the link from there.
NOTE
[[file:/home/sacha/screenshots/Screenshot_2022-12-03_00-25-27.png]]
00:01:23.960 --> 00:01:25.599
If you have general feedback about
00:01:25.600 --> 00:01:27.759
the conference itself, please put it in
00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:30.679
pad.emacsconf.org/2022 .
NOTE Internet Relay Chat
[[file:/home/sacha/screenshots/Screenshot_2022-12-03_00-25-47.png]]
00:01:31.600 --> 00:01:34.479
Internet Relay Chat or IRC can be another great way
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:37.279
to be part of lots of conversations.
NOTE
[[file:/home/sacha/screenshots/Screenshot_2022-12-03_00-26-04.png]]
00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:40.319
You can use chat.emacsconf.org to join the IRC channels
00:01:40.320 --> 00:01:43.199
through your web browser. The tabs on the left can help you
00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:45.239
switch between the different channels.
00:01:45.240 --> 00:01:47.719
There's #emacsconf-gen for the General track
00:01:47.720 --> 00:01:50.239
and #emacsconf-dev for the Development track.
00:01:50.240 --> 00:01:53.439
If you need to reach us, you can join #emacsconf-org
00:01:53.440 --> 00:01:57.879
or e-mail emacsconf-org-private@gnu.org.
00:01:57.880 --> 00:02:01.359
You can use #emacsconf for hallway conversations.
NOTE Accessibility and open captions
[[file:/home/sacha/screenshots/Screenshot_2022-12-03_00-26-32.png]]
00:02:01.360 --> 00:02:03.919
Once again, we're going to be streaming with open captions
00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:06.639
for most of the talks this year, thanks to our speakers and
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:09.919
captioning volunteers. The captioned talks are indicated
00:02:09.920 --> 00:02:12.519
on the schedule, and with any luck, we'll be posting
00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:16.119
transcripts on talk pages shortly after the talks start.
00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:18.919
If you need additional accommodations, please let us know
00:02:18.920 --> 00:02:20.319
in #emacsconf-org and we'll see
00:02:20.320 --> 00:02:22.439
if we can make things happen.
NOTE status.emacsconf.org, #emacsconf-org
[[file:/home/sacha/screenshots/Screenshot_2022-12-03_00-26-55.png]]
00:02:22.440 --> 00:02:26.319
If something goes down, we'll update status.emacsconf.org.
00:02:26.320 --> 00:02:27.799
If it doesn't look like we've noticed yet,
00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:31.599
please let us know in the #emacsconf-org IRC channel,
00:02:31.600 --> 00:02:34.519
where we will be quietly panicking.
NOTE Guidelines for conduct
[[file:/home/sacha/screenshots/Screenshot_2022-12-03_00-27-19.png]]
00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:36.959
In all of these conversations, please keep in mind
00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:39.759
our guidelines for conduct. You can find them on the wiki,
00:02:39.760 --> 00:02:42.959
and they basically boil down to: please be nice. Thank you!

00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:47.519
We'll be posting the prerecorded videos as soon as possible.
00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:50.039
Assuming things go well, you might be able to check out
00:02:50.040 --> 00:02:52.719
quick replays on the Toobnix channel, which you can
00:02:52.720 --> 00:02:55.679
find on the watch page in the wiki. We'll post the live
00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:58.759
talks and Q&A sessions some time after the conference.
00:02:58.760 --> 00:03:01.799
If you'd like to get an update, you can subscribe to
00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:05.359
the emacsconf-discuss mailing list.
NOTE Let's have fun
[[file:/home/sacha/screenshots/Screenshot_2022-12-03_00-28-14.png]]
00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:06.599
All right, let's get going.
00:03:06.600 --> 00:03:09.639
Leo Vivier is going to be hosting the general track,
00:03:09.640 --> 00:03:12.399
and Amin Bandali will host the development track.
00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:15.319
The other volunteers and I will run around mostly backstage,
00:03:15.320 --> 00:03:18.159
and you'll probably meet us in the closing remarks.
00:03:18.160 --> 00:03:20.720
Let's have fun at EmacsConf 2022!
