+## Volunteer update 2022-11-07
+
+Hi everyone!
+
+Here&rsquo;s what&rsquo;s been happening backstage.
+
+-   Speakers have been submitting their videos, hooray! I added a
+    schedule to the backstage page at
+    <https://media.emacsconf.org/2022/backstage/> so that people can see
+    how the schedule&rsquo;s coming along. We expect more talks to come in the
+    next two weeks. Not panicking yet. =)
+
+-   Thanks to all the people who&rsquo;ve been working on captions so far!
+    Bhavin, Andrea, and Ramin did the captions for their talks, and Jai
+    captioned Bala&rsquo;s talk. Tom, Bhavin, and Hannah are currently working
+    on captions. There are three more talks backstage if anyone wants to
+    work on them.
+
+-   I just posted some notes on how I reflow and edit subtitles in case
+    they&rsquo;re helpful:
+    <https://media.emacsconf.org/2022/backstage/editing-captions.html>
+    It&rsquo;s also linked from the backstage page under More info: editing
+    captions.
+
+-   We added the Emacs development updates talk from John Wiegley and
+    updated the times of other talks based on messages from the
+    speakers.
+
+-   We did a dry run of the OBS streaming setup with Leo, Amin, and
+    Corwin. I think we&rsquo;re on track to being able to broadcast two
+    streams this year.
+
+-   IRC announcements, BBB redirection, and media file publishing can
+    now all automatically happen when the talk status changes,
+    simplifying our work during the conference. Video playback and Q&A
+    browser windows can happen automatically if streaming from
+    res.emacsconf.org. I want to get the publishing workflow all
+    smoothed out too, so that talks and transcripts can be more easily
+    published to the wiki pages during the conference.
+
+Plans for this week:
+
+-   More videos and captions!
+-   I plan to work on talk page publishing so that it happens smoothly during the conference
+-   Leo&rsquo;s going to review the videos submitted so far and prepare intros for them
+-   Might be a good idea to reach out to speakers for tech checks and bios
+
+EmacsConf is a little less than four weeks away. Stuff is happening!

-corrections, or use the text in a blog post or elsewhere. You can look
