+This page is a collection of useful tips and suggestions for speakers.

+
+## Software
+
+Here is a list of software you can use to prepare your screencast.
+
+### IRC (with ERC)
+<a name="erc"></a>
+
+For a bare bones ERC setup for participating in EmacsConf as a
+speaker, add the following to your init file.  Then, either mark the
+whole region and do `M-x eval-region RET`, or alternatively restart
+your Emacs.  Finally, do `M-x erc-tls RET` to start ERC.
+
+```
+(require 'erc)
+(setq erc-server "irc.freenode.net"
+      erc-port 6697
+      erc-nick "your-nick"
+      erc-autojoin-channels-alist
+     '(("freenode.net" "#emacsconf" "#emacsconf-org" "#emacsconf-questions")))
+```
+

+## Personal tips
+
+### Damien Cassou
+
+To ease my work, I wrote
+[screencasting.el](//gist.github.com/DamienCassou/0e3663ce3bdb710a44eeb7122870f621)
+to start 3 processes simultaneously: showkeys, ffmpeg for audio and
+ffmpeg for video.
