+# Tasks
+
+
+## Manually transcribe
+
+Either subtitles (with timestamps) or a text transcript (no timestamps) is perfectly okay.

+
+### TODO mplsCorwin: emacsconf-2020&#x2013;03-idea-to-novel-superstructure-emacs-for-writing&#x2013;questions&#x2013;bala-ramadurai.webm

+### TODO mplsCorwin: emacsconf-2020&#x2013;08-building-reproducible-emacs&#x2013;andrew-tropin.webm
+
+
+### DONE sachac: emacsconf-2020&#x2013;10-lead-your-future-with-org&#x2013;andrea.webm
+
+Added transcript to info/10.md, seeing if YouTube can automatically
+assign timing. Took about 24 minutes to transcribe 8 minute talk. If
+it doesn't work out, I might manually time it.
+
+&#x2026; It worked!
+
+

+
+
+## Edit automatic subtitles
+
+No need to worry about end timestamps, since I'll set them to the
+beginning timestamp. To reduce duplication of work, make sure you have the latest copy of organizers-notebook.org. Mark the one you
+want to do by prepending your name to the TODO title, and commit
+organizers-notebook.org back to the repo.

+
+# Workflows
+
+STREAM - main organizer, CHECK - secondary organizer or volunteer, PAD - organizer focusing on pad
+
+
+### Planning
+
+- Collect e-mail addresses of accepted speakers into a list for easy pasting into Bcc (organizers' private wiki)
+- See submissions.org for Org scheduling code; 3 minutes of buffer was okay last time, but more would be better for Q&A; opening remarks time could be trimmed
+
+
+### Before the conference
+
+- Do tech checks and get alternative ways to contact speakers (phone number? IRC nick? Something that goes ding?)
+- Install Mute Tab extension if desired
+- Send encoding tips for prerecs
+- Normalize audio for prerecs
+- Put prerecs in `orga@front0:~/prerecs` so that people can use mediainfo to check duration
+- Plan volunteer availability
+- Set up local icecast server and have live0 relay
+- Create individual talk pages and schedule.
+- Set up pad with Q1: Q2: Q3: Q4: slots
+
+- Tech check
+
+ - Explain process
+ - Test audio, webcam, screensharing, collaborative pad
+ - Music demos and other things that use system audio will need to be prerecorded (or done through virtual loopback device, maybe? Technical risk.)
+ - Multi-monitor setups might not be handled well by BBB; share window instead of desktop
+ - Check if comfortable checking into IRC: #emacsconf-org
+ - Ask about Q&A preference; OR:
+ - live Q&A
+ - Q&A over pad or IRC
+ - no Q&A
+ - Get IRC nick and phone number for emergency contact, store in private wiki
+ - Try to record name pronunciation
+ - Encourage webcam for Q&A, although make it clear that it's totally optional
+ - Possible picture-in-picture approach to maximize screen real estate
+ - Linux: share desktop, run cheese, set Always on Top
+
+
+### During the conference
+
+- Start of streaming
+
+ - STREAM starts streaming and has live0 relay
+ - STREAM displays time on screen: `watch TZ=America/New_York date` ?
+ - CHECK confirms stream and starts low-resolution mirror
+
+ - ffmpeg: mirror main stream to low-resolution stream
+
+ Needs the `$main480p` environment variable set to somethnig of the form `icecast://username:password@site:port/mount-point.webm`. Icecast configuration can be found on `live0` at `/etc/icecast2/icecast.xml`. It was okay to run this command directly on `live0` in 2020, since that kept the speed at roughly 1x.
+
+ while true; do ffmpeg -f webm -reconnect_at_eof 1 -reconnect_streamed 1 -re -i http://localhost:8000/main.webm -vf scale=854:480 -f webm -c:a copy -b:v 500k -maxrate 1M -bufsize 1M -content_type video/webm -c:v libvpx $main480p done
+
+- Shortly before the presentation
+
+ - Speaker checks in via IRC ~30m before
+ - CHECK directs speaker to available room
+ - Speaker joins talk room
+ - CHECK makes speaker presenter and moderator, does last-minute tech check
+ - Hello, thanks
+ - Speaker tries screen sharing and webcam
+ - check screen readability
+ - CHECK briefs speaker on process, including:
+ - confirming preferences:
+ - prerec / live talk
+ - live Q&A / IRC / no Q&A
+ - live Q&A: reading questions themselves (can do in any order, can skip) or asking STREAM to read questions to them
+ - encouragement of webcam, although it's optional
+ - how STREAM will join and then give them the go-ahead
+ - closing any tabs watching the stream as their talk starts (otherwise the audio is confusing)
+ - starting with saying their name clearly and doing a quick intro to their talk
+ - CHECK notifies STREAM with link to the talk room and preferences for prerec or live talk, live Q&A / IRC / no Q&A
+ - STREAM joins meeting and gives go-ahead
+ - CHECK starts recording in BBB
+ - CHECK announces on IRC
+ - PAD clears the pad colours and updates timestamp
+
+- During the presentation
+
+ - OR:
+ - Live presentation?
+ - Speaker presents, keeping an eye on the collaborative pad for questions
+ - STREAM stays with speaker to stream and to help with questions and timing
+ - Prerecorded? STREAM plays prerecorded video on computer
+ - Streamed live from somewhere else?
+ - Make sure to have a separate way to communicate (ex: IRC)
+ - OTHER keeps an eye on audio levels and tells STREAM if adjustments are needed
+ - If there is another speaker, CHECK moves to next room for setup
+ - OTHER moves past prerecs to public directory (maybe even current?)
+ - (It would be pretty cool if we can figure out how to make the previous talks available for watching)
+
+- Q&A
+
+ - STREAM joins speaker's room if not already there
+ - STREAM gives go-ahead to start Q&A
+ - Speaker reads questions off the pad or gets questions from STREAM
+ - Time is indicated by having an organizer type into the Etherpad, or speaking up if needed
+ - If moderation is needed, organizers add a reminder that speakers can choose to skip questions or answer in any order
+ - STREAM goes to next talk when ready
+
+- Lunch break
+
+ - STREAM plays music
+ - STREAM quickly highlights `#emacsconf-accessible`, Etherpad, notes
+
+- Scenarios
+
+ - Prerecorded presentations
+
+ - STREAM will play it on the computer and stream from there (or ideally, send it directly to the stream)
+
+ - Tech issues
+
+ - If can't be easily resolved, play pre-recorded talk early and try again later (or follow up)
+ - Stream a technical issues slide to the end point
+

+

+ This fiddles with the `-ss` to make it divisible by 4. Run this code before a copy of the ffmpeg scripts (adjusting the value of adjust as needed) and it will show only the lines that need tweaking.

+ To use this, open a Dired buffer with a list of the correctly-named
