+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.
+
+NOTE BigBlueButton
+
+00:01:05.621 --> 00:01:07.164
+Many talks will be followed by
+
+00:01:07.165 --> 00:01:09.591
+live Q&A web conferences with the speaker,
+
+00:01:09.592 --> 00:01:12.753
+which will be done in BigBlueButton or BBB.
+
+00:01:12.754 --> 00:01:15.838
+These are indicated with a solid border on the schedule
+
+00:01:15.839 --> 00:01:19.020
+and by Q&A: BBB on the schedule page.
+
+00:01:19.021 --> 00:01:20.920
+You can join the web conference room
+
+00:01:20.921 --> 00:01:22.486
+by clicking on the BBB link
+
+00:01:22.487 --> 00:01:25.195
+on the schedule page or the talk's webpage.
+
+00:01:25.196 --> 00:01:29.234
+Then you can ask your questions yourself when the Q&A starts.
+
+00:01:29.235 --> 00:01:32.230
+To improve performance, please keep your webcam off
+
+00:01:32.231 --> 00:01:34.909
+and stay muted until it's your turn to talk.
+
+00:01:34.910 --> 00:01:36.711
+If you don't like Javascript,
+
+00:01:36.712 --> 00:01:38.662
+you can still ask questions via IRC
+
+00:01:38.663 --> 00:01:41.055
+and the hosts can read them out for you.
+
+NOTE On and off the stream
+
+00:01:41.056 --> 00:01:42.914
+We're probably going to automatically switch
+
+00:01:42.915 --> 00:01:44.502
+between talks and Q&A sessions,
+
+00:01:44.503 --> 00:01:47.916
+so the transitions on the stream might be a little sudden.
+
+00:01:47.917 --> 00:01:49.458
+People in the BigBlueButton room
+
+00:01:49.459 --> 00:01:50.881
+can continue the conversation
+
+00:01:50.882 --> 00:01:53.239
+even after the talk moves off-stream,
+
+00:01:53.240 --> 00:01:55.290
+and you can also reach out to the speakers
+
+00:01:55.291 --> 00:01:58.236
+using the contact information on the talk page.
+
+NOTE Etherpad and IRC
+
+00:01:58.237 --> 00:02:01.321
+Other talks will have Q&A via Etherpad or IRC,
+
+00:02:01.322 --> 00:02:03.561
+depending on what the speakers prefer.
+
+00:02:03.562 --> 00:02:06.399
+This is indicated in the schedule with a dashed border
+
+00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:08.529
+and on the schedule page as well.
+
+00:02:08.530 --> 00:02:11.562
+The schedule pages have quick shortcuts so that you can
+
+00:02:11.563 --> 00:02:14.072
+find out more about talks, open the Etherpads,
+
+00:02:14.073 --> 00:02:16.223
+and join the Q&A sessions.
+
+00:02:16.224 --> 00:02:18.385
+The watch page has more tips
+
+00:02:18.386 --> 00:02:20.475
+on how to make the most of Q&A.
+
+NOTE Etherpad
+
+00:02:20.476 --> 00:02:23.349
+If you can, please add notes and ask questions
+
+00:02:23.350 --> 00:02:25.152
+in the Etherpad for the talk.
+
+00:02:25.153 --> 00:02:26.617
+That makes it easier
+
+00:02:26.618 --> 00:02:28.149
+for everyone to share their notes,
+
+00:02:28.150 --> 00:02:31.374
+and speakers and hosts can read the questions from there.
+
+00:02:31.375 --> 00:02:34.641
+We'll copy the notes to the talk pages afterwards.
+
+00:02:34.642 --> 00:02:36.516
+We have one pad for each talk,
+
+00:02:36.517 --> 00:02:38.792
+so you can follow the links to get to the next one
+
+00:02:38.793 --> 00:02:41.847
+or go back to the schedule and get the link from there.
+
+00:02:41.848 --> 00:02:43.442
+If you have general feedback about
+
+00:02:43.443 --> 00:02:45.687
+the conference itself, please put it in
+
+00:02:45.688 --> 00:02:49.612
+pad.emacsconf.org/emacsconf.
+
+00:02:49.613 --> 00:02:52.569
+You can also use this as a community message board
+
+00:02:52.570 --> 00:02:54.459
+for things like Help Wanted.
+
+NOTE IRC
+
+00:02:54.460 --> 00:02:57.819
+Internet Relay Chat or IRC can be another great way
+
+00:02:57.820 --> 00:03:00.195
+to be part of lots of conversations.
+
+00:03:00.196 --> 00:03:04.470
+You can use chat.emacsconf.org to join the IRC channels
+
+00:03:04.471 --> 00:03:06.065
+through your web browser.
+
+00:03:06.066 --> 00:03:07.876
+The tabs on the left can help you
+
+00:03:07.877 --> 00:03:09.911
+switch between the different channels.
+
+00:03:09.912 --> 00:03:12.630
+There's #emacsconf-gen for the General track
+
+00:03:12.631 --> 00:03:15.509
+and #emacsconf-dev for the Development track.
+
+00:03:15.510 --> 00:03:18.976
+If you need to reach us, you can join #emacsconf-org
+
+00:03:18.977 --> 00:03:24.494
+or e-mail emacsconf-org-private@gnu.org.
+
+00:03:24.495 --> 00:03:27.797
+You can use #emacsconf for hallway conversations.
+
+NOTE Captions
+
+00:03:27.798 --> 00:03:30.607
+Once again, we're going to be streaming with open captions
+
+00:03:30.608 --> 00:03:33.499
+for most of the talks this year, thanks to our speakers and
+
+00:03:33.500 --> 00:03:34.915
+captioning volunteers.
+
+00:03:34.916 --> 00:03:37.542
+The captioned talks are indicated on the schedule,
+
+00:03:37.543 --> 00:03:39.332
+and with any luck, we'll be posting
+
+00:03:39.333 --> 00:03:41.143
+videos and transcripts on talk pages
+
+00:03:41.144 --> 00:03:42.903
+shortly after the talks start.
+
+00:03:42.904 --> 00:03:46.089
+If you need additional accommodations, please let us know
+
+00:03:46.090 --> 00:03:49.036
+in #emacsconf-org and we'll see
+
+00:03:49.037 --> 00:03:50.257
+if we can make things happen.
+
+NOTE status.emacsconf.org
+
+00:03:50.258 --> 00:03:54.937
+If something goes down, we'll update status.emacsconf.org.
+
+00:03:54.938 --> 00:03:56.763
+If it doesn't look like we've noticed yet,
+
+00:03:56.764 --> 00:04:00.282
+please let us know in the #emacsconf-org IRC channel,
+
+00:04:00.283 --> 00:04:02.301
+where we will be quietly panicking.
+
+NOTE Guidelines for conduct
+
+00:04:02.302 --> 00:04:04.724
+In all of these conversations, please keep in mind
+
+00:04:04.725 --> 00:04:06.258
+our guidelines for conduct.
+
+00:04:06.259 --> 00:04:07.639
+You can find them on the wiki,
+
+00:04:07.640 --> 00:04:11.039
+and they basically boil down to: please be nice. Thank you!
+
+NOTE Videos
+
+00:04:11.040 --> 00:04:13.911
+If all goes well, the prerecorded talks and transcripts
+
+00:04:13.912 --> 00:04:15.557
+should be available from the talk pages
+
+00:04:15.558 --> 00:04:17.058
+shortly after they start playing,
+
+00:04:17.059 --> 00:04:19.163
+and we'll post the recordings of live talks
+
+00:04:19.164 --> 00:04:21.795
+and Q&A sessions within the next few weeks.
+
+NOTE Let's get started!
+
+00:04:21.796 --> 00:04:23.267
+All right, let's get going.
+
+00:04:23.268 --> 00:04:29.114
+You might see Leo Vivier, Corwin Brust,
+
+00:04:29.115 --> 00:04:31.854
+and Amin Bandali hosting the various tracks.
+
+00:04:31.855 --> 00:04:35.648
+I will run around mostly backstage,
+
+00:04:35.649 --> 00:04:37.674
+and you'll probably meet us in the closing remarks.
+
+00:04:37.675 --> 00:04:39.124
+That's also where we get to thank
+
+00:04:39.125 --> 00:04:40.540
+all the people and organizations
+
+00:04:40.541 --> 00:04:42.430
+who make EmacsConf possible.
+
+00:04:42.431 --> 00:04:44.343
+Let's have fun at EmacsConf!
