+  2. Click on your name.
+  3. Click on **Set Status** - **Raise**.
+  You can lower your hand by clicking on your name and choosing **Clear Status**.
+- Headphone or earphones can help avoid audio feedback.

+- The recording of this session will be posted on the talk page. We'll
+  also copy questions, answers, and notes from the text chat.
+  Everything will be shared under the Creative Commons
+  Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 License.
+- If you can, please add questions, answers, and notes to the
+  Etherpad. The URL for the Etherpad is on the talk page.

+  
+## Notes for the speaker
+
+- You can answer questions in whatever order you want.
+- You can skip questions or take your time to think about them.
+- Please read the questions out loud before answering. This makes it
+  easier to save the questions and answers afterwards.
+- We'll let you know when the stream is going to move on to the next
+  talk. Even after the streamer switches over to the next talk, you
+  can still stay and chat here for as long as you like. When you're
+  done, you can wrap up and leave.
+- If something should be omitted from the recording, put a NOTE in the
+  chat and explain what the organizers should do.
+
+# IRC
+
+- If you add "Q: " as a prefix when asking a question (ex: "Q: Could you please give more details on ..."), it will be easier for us to notice your question.
+- If you are discussing a previous talk after the next talk starts, you may want to add the talk ID to your message to make it clearer. (ex: "re:devel I think ...")
