# How do we want to schedule talks?
-<a id="legend"></a>

## Notes
- Green: no availability constraints
- Red: invalid because of availability constraint
- Dashed: IRC/pad Q&A, not live
-
- Updating the images requires `emacsconf-schedule.el` from
- `git@git.emacsconf.org:emacsconf-el` and `emacsconf-org-file` set to
- wherever the private conf org file is.
+
+Host role:
+
+- Give the speaker a heads-up before their Q&A session begins
+- If needed, read the questions from the pad to the speaker (Many speakers are comfortable reading the pad on their own.)
+- Give the speaker time warnings before the end of their Q&A session on the stream. Interested participants can continue
+
+Streamer role:
+
+- Switch between playing the prerec and joining the Q&A session
+- Adjust audio volume at the beginning of the Q&A session
+- (optional) Switch scene layouts to focus on different things
+
+Updating the images requires `emacsconf-schedule.el` from
+`git@git.emacsconf.org:emacsconf-el` and `emacsconf-org-file` set to
+wherever the private conf org file is.
