[[!meta title="Speakers confirmed, Etherpad, watch pages, shifts"]]
Hello, folks! Here's the weekly update on what's happening backstage
for EmacsConf 2022 in case you notice something that you want to help
out with. =)
- All the speakers have confirmed that they've gotten the acceptance
e-mails. Many speakers have confirmed that the schedule works for
them after I reshuffled a few talks for better availability. I've
posted the schedule at <https://emacsconf.org/2022/talks/> . We'll
announce the schedule on the emacsconf-discuss mailing, Reddit, and
various places this week.
- zaeph has been working on the ffmpeg incantations for preprocessing
the videos that will be submitted soon. bandali is working on
getting the FTP and web-based uploads sorted out so that speakers
can submit their videos.
- I created some watch pages to support viewing different tracks:
<https://emacsconf.org/2022/watch/> . The livestreams won't work yet
and it would be nice to figure out something that can dynamically
display info for recent/current/upcoming talks, but it's a start.
- We set up a self-hosted Etherpad (ex:
<https://pad.emacsconf.org/2022-journalism>) with an easy way to
redirect to using Wikimedia in case we run into scaling issues. I've
added it to our Ansible playbook
(git@git.emacsconf.org:pub/emacsconf-ansible) and I'm looking
forward to incorporating Ry P.'s improvements. Karl Voit gave
feedback on the first draft of the template.
- vetrivln volunteered for some of the dev hosting shifts, Karl Voit
volunteered for some of the gen pad shifts, and FlowyCoder
volunteered for some of the gen check-in shifts. Thanks!
Next week, we hope to:
- Announce the EmacsConf 2022 schedule in the usual places (got any wording/JS/CSS suggestions?)
- Finalize the upload instructions so that speakers can start submitting their files
- Put together volunteer training materials
- Set up per-speaker BBB rooms and friendly URLs
