+Hello, folks! Here&rsquo;s the weekly update on what&rsquo;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&rsquo;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&rsquo;ve
+    posted the schedule at <https://emacsconf.org/2022/talks/> . We&rsquo;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.
 
--   progress report:
-    -   ansible and etherpad
+-   I created some watch pages to support viewing different tracks:
+    <https://emacsconf.org/2022/watch/> . The livestreams won&rsquo;t work yet
+    and it would be nice to figure out something that can dynamically
+    display info for recent/current/upcoming talks, but it&rsquo;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&rsquo;ve
+    added it to our Ansible playbook
+    (git@git.emacsconf.org:pub/emacsconf-ansible) and I&rsquo;m looking
+    forward to incorporating Ry P.&rsquo;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
