We like to have at least a month to work on audio
normalization and transcription, and we want
speakers to have at least a month to work on their
videos (considering early submissions will already
have gotten started on processing).

# Communications plan

Objectives:

-   keep everyone in the loop without them feeling like they&rsquo;re overloaded

Everyone:

-   [ ] Call for participation (speakers and volunteers)
-   [ ] Reminder about CFP
-   [ ] Last call

Speakers:

-   [ ] Send all speakers backstage access and upload instructions
-   [ ] Send all speakers check-in instructions

Volunteers:

-   [ ] Send captioning volunteers the backstage info
-   [ ] Send past captioning volunteers an invitation to participate - ask when there&rsquo;s a lot of load
-   [ ] Ask for help with audio processing

# Good/better/best

This table makes it easier to move the slider depending on who wants
to volunteer and how much we can get done. At some point, we&rsquo;ll figure
out how to track our current status so we know what we need to
scramble to do in order to get the conference off the ground. **bold**
is our current goal. Feel free to volunteer for anything that
interests you!

Notes:

-   Updates:
    -   <span class="timestamp-wrapper"><span class="timestamp">[2024-10-17 Thu] </span></span> Added [org-update](https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/org-update "The Future of Org") to Saturday morning, moving [org-teach](https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/org-teach "org-teach: a minor mode for writing course materials in Emacs") to Sunday afternoon
    -   <span class="timestamp-wrapper"><span class="timestamp">[2024-10-15 Tue] </span></span> Swapped [students](https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/students "An example of a cohesive student workflow in Emacs") and [literate](https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/literate "Literate programming for the 21st Century") for availability reasons
    -   <span class="timestamp-wrapper"><span class="timestamp">[2024-10-13 Sun] </span></span> Moved [hyperdrive](https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/hyperdrive "New in hyperdrive.el: org-transclusion, easy installation, and more!") to the afternoon (swapping with [flp](https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/flp "The Free Life Planner: Empowering lives with Emacs-based AI")) because of changed availability
    -   <span class="timestamp-wrapper"><span class="timestamp">[2024-10-12 Sat] </span></span> I fixed the time constraint for [students](https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/students "An example of a cohesive student workflow in Emacs") (needs to be in the afternoon), so I moved [hyperbole](https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/hyperbole "Fun things with GNU Hyperbole") to the morning.
-   General approach:
    -   I&rsquo;ve mostly tried to alternate IRC/pad Q&A with live Q&A.
    -   1.5 tracks keeps things faster-paced than the 2-track option.
-   Sat:
    -   Gen track:
        -   [papers](https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/papers "Writing academic papers in Org-Roam"), [project](https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/project "Managing writing project metadata with org-mode"), [org-teach](https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/org-teach "org-teach: a minor mode for writing course materials in Emacs"), [flp](https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/flp "The Free Life Planner: Empowering lives with Emacs-based AI"), [color](https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/color "Colour your Emacs with ease") should be pretty general
        -   [color](https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/color "Colour your Emacs with ease") and [theme](https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/theme "My journey of finding and creating the “perfect” Emacs theme") are both theme-related. [color](https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/color "Colour your Emacs with ease") needs to be in the morning and [theme](https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/theme "My journey of finding and creating the “perfect” Emacs theme") needs to be in the afternoon, so I put them on either side of the lunch break.
        -   Other afternoon talks: [water](https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/water "Watering my (digital) plant with Emacs timers") and [shell](https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/shell "Emacs as a shell") are by the same speaker. [casual](https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/casual "Re-imagining the Emacs user experience with Casual Suite"), [hyperdrive](https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/hyperdrive "New in hyperdrive.el: org-transclusion, easy installation, and more!"), and [writing](https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/writing "Emacs Writing Studio") will probably be good for a general audience. These speakers are only available in the afternoon, so this part of the schedule is a bit tight.
        -   I put [emacs30](https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/emacs30 "Emacs 30 Highlights") at the end of Saturday to act sort of as a keynote. Closing remarks on Saturday are usually very light, so we could skip them.
    -   Dev track:
        -   [gypsum](https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/gypsum "Gypsum: my clone of Emacs and ELisp written in Scheme"), [rust](https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/rust "An experimental Emacs core in Rust"), [julia](https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/julia "Exploring shared philosophies in Julia and Emacs"), [guile](https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/guile "Beguiling Emacs: Guile-Emacs relaunched!"), and [mcclim](https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/mcclim "Elisp and McCLIM") are about other projects
        -   [graph](https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/graph "Graph mode: a major mode to create, edit and display discrete element graphs"), [p-search](https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/p-search "p-search: a local search engine in Emacs"), [secrets](https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/secrets "Committing secrets with git using sops-mode"), and [repro](https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/repro "Reproducibly building Emacs: “Hey your checksum is the same as mine!”") will probably be more dev-focused
-   Sun:
    -   Sunday morning last year had some packet loss issues at around 9:30, so we&rsquo;ll start with some talks that don&rsquo;t have BBB Q&A: [students](https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/students "An example of a cohesive student workflow in Emacs"), [links](https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/links "Unlocking linked data: replacing specialized apps with an Org-based semantic wiki"), [regex](https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/regex "Emacs regex compilation and future directions for expressive pattern matching")
    -   [blee](https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/blee "About Blee: towards an integrated Emacs environment for enveloping our own autonomy directed digital ecosystem") and [language](https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/language "Immersive language learning with Emacs") are probably general-audience
    -   [pgmacs](https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/pgmacs "PGmacs: browsing and editing PostgreSQL databases from Emacs"), [regex](https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/regex "Emacs regex compilation and future directions for expressive pattern matching"), and [transducers](https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/transducers "Transducers: finally, ergonomic data processing for Emacs!") are all development-oriented, but are on the general track for scheduling purposes. [transducers](https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/transducers "Transducers: finally, ergonomic data processing for Emacs!") can only be on Sunday afternoon at 4pm because of availability.
    -   I&rsquo;ve separated [hyperbole](https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/hyperbole "Fun things with GNU Hyperbole") and [hywiki](https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/hywiki "HyWiki: Fast, hyperlinked note-taking with no markup required") by lunch so that people who are interested in that can attend the live Q&A for both without worrying about missing things.
    -   [learning](https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/learning "Survival of the skillest: Thriving in the learning jungle"), [sharing](https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/sharing "So you want to be an Emacs-fluencer?"), [literate](https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/literate "Literate programming for the 21st Century") will probably be good for a general audience
