+NOTE Tracks
+
+00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.246
+Welcome to EmacsConf, where we have fun
+
+00:00:02.247 --> 00:00:05.484
+exploring just how much we can do with a text editor.
+
+00:00:05.485 --> 00:00:07.924
+There's a General track and a Development track,
+
+00:00:07.925 --> 00:00:09.483
+but really, you'll probably find
+
+00:00:09.484 --> 00:00:11.078
+interesting things on both tracks
+
+00:00:11.079 --> 00:00:13.215
+no matter what your level of experience is,
+
+00:00:13.216 --> 00:00:15.999
+so don't feel limited to one or the other.
+
+NOTE Watching and participating
+
+00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:19.392
+The best parts of EmacsConf are the conversations.
+
+00:00:19.393 --> 00:00:22.485
+The wiki has a page on how to watch and participate,
+
+00:00:22.486 --> 00:00:24.909
+and I'll give you a quick overview as well.
+
+00:00:24.910 --> 00:00:28.884
+You can watch both streams at live.emacsconf.org
+
+00:00:28.885 --> 00:00:31.185
+using free and open source software.
+
+00:00:31.186 --> 00:00:34.387
+Using a streaming media player like mpv
+
+00:00:34.388 --> 00:00:37.274
+seems to be the best way to watch in terms of performance
+
+00:00:37.275 --> 00:00:39.240
+but there are also web-based players
+
+00:00:39.241 --> 00:00:41.377
+just in case that's all you've got.
+
+00:00:41.378 --> 00:00:44.063
+The schedule shows the General track on top
+
+00:00:44.064 --> 00:00:45.602
+and the Development track on the bottom,
+
+00:00:45.603 --> 00:00:47.819
+so you can see what else is going on.
+
+00:00:47.820 --> 00:00:49.818
+As you're watching the talks,
+
+00:00:49.819 --> 00:00:52.354
+you can refer to the schedule in another window.
+
+00:00:52.355 --> 00:00:55.600
+Hover over the boxes to see the times and titles,
+
+00:00:55.601 --> 00:00:57.613
+and click on the boxes in the schedule
+
+00:00:57.614 --> 00:01:00.606
+to jump to the talk's page for more details.
+
+NOTE Other schedule formats
+
+00:01:00.607 --> 00:01:03.586
+You can also get the schedule as an iCalendar file
+
+00:01:03.587 --> 00:01:05.620
+or as an Org file in different time zones.
+
+00:01:05.621 --> 00:01:08.254
+The Org file has some links to talk resources
+
+00:01:08.255 --> 00:01:10.600
+and might be handy as a starting point for your notes.
+
+NOTE BigBlueButton
+
+00:01:10.601 --> 00:01:12.144
+Many talks will be followed by
+
+00:01:12.145 --> 00:01:14.571
+live Q&A web conferences with the speaker,
+
+00:01:14.572 --> 00:01:17.733
+which will be done in BigBlueButton or BBB.
+
+00:01:17.734 --> 00:01:20.818
+These are indicated with a solid border on the schedule
+
+00:01:20.819 --> 00:01:24.000
+and by Q&A: BBB on the schedule page.
+
+00:01:24.001 --> 00:01:25.900
+You can join the web conference room
+
+00:01:25.901 --> 00:01:27.466
+by clicking on the BBB link
+
+00:01:27.467 --> 00:01:30.175
+on the schedule page or the talk's webpage.
+
+00:01:30.176 --> 00:01:34.214
+Then you can ask your questions yourself when the Q&A starts.
+
+00:01:34.215 --> 00:01:37.210
+To improve performance, please keep your webcam off
+
+00:01:37.211 --> 00:01:39.889
+and stay muted until it's your turn to talk.
+
+00:01:39.890 --> 00:01:41.691
+If you don't like Javascript,
+
+00:01:41.692 --> 00:01:43.642
+you can still ask questions via IRC
+
+00:01:43.643 --> 00:01:46.035
+and the hosts can read them out for you.
+
+NOTE On and off the stream
+
+00:01:46.036 --> 00:01:47.894
+We're probably going to automatically switch
+
+00:01:47.895 --> 00:01:49.482
+between talks and Q&A sessions,
+
+00:01:49.483 --> 00:01:52.896
+so the transitions on the stream might be a little sudden.
+
+00:01:52.897 --> 00:01:54.438
+People in the BigBlueButton room
+
+00:01:54.439 --> 00:01:55.861
+can continue the conversation
+
+00:01:55.862 --> 00:01:58.219
+even after the talk moves off-stream,
+
+00:01:58.220 --> 00:02:00.270
+and you can also reach out to the speakers
+
+00:02:00.271 --> 00:02:03.216
+using the contact information on the talk page.
+
+NOTE Etherpad and IRC
+
+00:02:03.217 --> 00:02:06.301
+Other talks will have Q&A via Etherpad or IRC,
+
+00:02:06.302 --> 00:02:08.541
+depending on what the speakers prefer.
+
+00:02:08.542 --> 00:02:11.379
+This is indicated in the schedule with a dashed border
+
+00:02:11.380 --> 00:02:13.509
+and on the schedule page as well.
+
+00:02:13.510 --> 00:02:16.542
+The schedule pages have quick shortcuts so that you can
+
+00:02:16.543 --> 00:02:19.052
+find out more about talks, open the Etherpads,
+
+00:02:19.053 --> 00:02:21.203
+and join the Q&A sessions.
+
+00:02:21.204 --> 00:02:23.365
+The watch page has more tips
+
+00:02:23.366 --> 00:02:25.455
+on how to make the most of Q&A.
+
+NOTE Etherpad
+
+00:02:25.456 --> 00:02:28.329
+If you can, please add notes and ask questions
+
+00:02:28.330 --> 00:02:30.132
+in the Etherpad for the talk.
+
+00:02:30.133 --> 00:02:31.597
+That makes it easier
+
+00:02:31.598 --> 00:02:33.129
+for everyone to share their notes,
+
+00:02:33.130 --> 00:02:36.354
+and speakers and hosts can read the questions from there.
+
+00:02:36.355 --> 00:02:39.621
+We'll copy the notes to the talk pages afterwards.
+
+00:02:39.622 --> 00:02:41.496
+We have one pad for each talk,
+
+00:02:41.497 --> 00:02:43.772
+so you can follow the links to get to the next one
+
+00:02:43.773 --> 00:02:46.827
+or go back to the schedule and get the link from there.
+
+00:02:46.828 --> 00:02:48.422
+If you have general feedback about
+
+00:02:48.423 --> 00:02:50.667
+the conference itself, please put it in
+
+00:02:50.668 --> 00:02:54.592
+pad.emacsconf.org/emacsconf.
+
+00:02:54.593 --> 00:02:57.549
+You can also use this as a community message board
+
+00:02:57.550 --> 00:02:59.439
+for things like Help Wanted.
+
+NOTE IRC
+
+00:02:59.440 --> 00:03:02.799
+Internet Relay Chat or IRC can be another great way
+
+00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:05.175
+to be part of lots of conversations.
+
+00:03:05.176 --> 00:03:09.450
+You can use chat.emacsconf.org to join the IRC channels
+
+00:03:09.451 --> 00:03:11.045
+through your web browser.
+
+00:03:11.046 --> 00:03:12.856
+The tabs on the left can help you
+
+00:03:12.857 --> 00:03:14.891
+switch between the different channels.
+
+00:03:14.892 --> 00:03:17.610
+There's #emacsconf-gen for the General track
+
+00:03:17.611 --> 00:03:20.489
+and #emacsconf-dev for the Development track.
+
+00:03:20.490 --> 00:03:23.956
+If you need to reach us, you can join #emacsconf-org
+
+00:03:23.957 --> 00:03:29.474
+or e-mail emacsconf-org-private@gnu.org.
+
+00:03:29.475 --> 00:03:32.777
+You can use #emacsconf for hallway conversations.
+
+NOTE Captions
+
+00:03:32.778 --> 00:03:35.587
+Once again, we're going to be streaming with open captions
+
+00:03:35.588 --> 00:03:38.479
+for most of the talks this year, thanks to our speakers and
+
+00:03:38.480 --> 00:03:39.895
+captioning volunteers.
+
+00:03:39.896 --> 00:03:42.522
+The captioned talks are indicated on the schedule,
+
+00:03:42.523 --> 00:03:44.312
+and with any luck, we'll be posting
+
+00:03:44.313 --> 00:03:46.123
+videos and transcripts on talk pages
+
+00:03:46.124 --> 00:03:47.883
+shortly after the talks start.
+
+00:03:47.884 --> 00:03:51.069
+If you need additional accommodations, please let us know
+
+00:03:51.070 --> 00:03:54.016
+in #emacsconf-org and we'll see
+
+00:03:54.017 --> 00:03:55.237
+if we can make things happen.
+
+NOTE status.emacsconf.org
+
+00:03:55.238 --> 00:03:59.917
+If something goes down, we'll update status.emacsconf.org.
+
+00:03:59.918 --> 00:04:01.743
+If it doesn't look like we've noticed yet,
+
+00:04:01.744 --> 00:04:05.262
+please let us know in the #emacsconf-org IRC channel,
+
+00:04:05.263 --> 00:04:07.281
+where we will be quietly panicking.
+
+NOTE Guidelines for conduct
+
+00:04:07.282 --> 00:04:09.704
+In all of these conversations, please keep in mind
+
+00:04:09.705 --> 00:04:11.238
+our guidelines for conduct.
+
+00:04:11.239 --> 00:04:12.619
+You can find them on the wiki,
+
+00:04:12.620 --> 00:04:16.019
+and they basically boil down to: please be nice. Thank you!
+
+NOTE Videos
+
+00:04:16.020 --> 00:04:18.891
+If all goes well, the prerecorded talks and transcripts
+
+00:04:18.892 --> 00:04:20.537
+should be available from the talk pages
+
+00:04:20.538 --> 00:04:22.038
+shortly after they start playing,
+
+00:04:22.039 --> 00:04:24.143
+and we'll post the recordings of live talks
+
+00:04:24.144 --> 00:04:26.775
+and Q&A sessions within the next few weeks.
+
+NOTE Let's get started!
+
+00:04:26.776 --> 00:04:28.247
+All right, let's get going.
+
+00:04:28.248 --> 00:04:31.214
+You might see Leo Vivier, Corwin Brust,
+
+00:04:31.215 --> 00:04:33.953
+and Amin Bandali hosting the various tracks.
+
+00:04:33.954 --> 00:04:35.767
+I will run around mostly backstage,
+
+00:04:35.768 --> 00:04:37.793
+and you'll probably meet us in the closing remarks.
+
+00:04:37.794 --> 00:04:39.243
+That's also where we get to thank
+
+00:04:39.244 --> 00:04:40.659
+all the people and organizations
+
+00:04:40.660 --> 00:04:42.549
+who make EmacsConf possible.
+
+00:04:42.550 --> 00:04:44.462
+Let's have fun at EmacsConf!
