EmacsConf 2024 will be on Dec 7 (Sat) and Dec 8 (Sun), 2023 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 streams using the watch pages or in a streaming web
player such as [MPV](https://mpv.io). 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.
<!-- If you prefer, you can watch the livestream via Toobnix (a PeerTube
instance): [General
track](https://toobnix.org/w/7t9X8eXuSby8YpyEKTb4aj), [Development
track](https://toobnix.org/w/w6K77y3bNMo8xsNuqQeCcD). Pre-recorded
videos and replays will also be available on Toobnix in the [EmacsConf
channel](https://toobnix.org/c/emacsconf). -->
To participate in the Q&A, please check the [[talks]] index for a link
to the talk page, and [[read these Q&A tips|qa]]. The talk page will
have the Q&A details, including the Etherpad link, IRC channel, and
optionally a BigBlueButton room (BBB) for Q&A. 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.
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.
You can join IRC using <https://chat.emacsconf.org> or your favourite
IRC client. Here are the irc.libera.chat 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.
Pre-recorded talk videos will be available on the talk pages 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](https://chat.emacsconf.org/?join=emacsconf-org) and
let us know, or e-mail <emacsconf-org-private@gnu.org> to reach the
organizers.
