+## Before the conference
+
+- Amin: download all prerecorded videos and set up OBS scenes for easy
+ switching (Emacs, Jitsi, video player)
+- Sacha: download all prerecorded videos and set up OBS scenes for
+ easy switching (Emacs, Jitsi, video player)
+- Draft text to be pasted on Emacs Conference 2019 page for watching
+- Test if we can both stream to Icecast
+- Test if we can stream from Icecast to Youtube
+- Test if we can record Icecast stream
+- Test if Youtube recording works properly
+- Test playing a prerecorded video
+- Draft speaker instructions
+
+
+## Speaker instructions
+
+
+- Please use your favourite IRC client to join #emacsconf-org on
+ irc.freenode.net on the day of the conference. It should be a
+ low-traffic channel for coordinating with speakers. Check in with
+ sachac and bandali by saying hi, mentioning your name/talk if it's
+ not obvious from your nick. Sacha (or the backup organizer) will
+ coordinate with you for a tech check before you speak, and will give
+ you the go-ahead to join a Jitsi session for the main presentation.
+- You can also join #emacsconf if you'd like to keep an eye on the
+ conversations, or #emacsconf-questions for a more moderated view.
+- Please wear earphones or headphones in order to minimize microphone
+ feedback.
+- Some of our attendees are blind, so please try to verbally describe
+ what you're showing on the screen. We will also ask volunteers to
+ describe what's going on in the #emacsconf channel (or maybe
+ #emacsconf-descriptive).
+
+## Plan for the conference day
+
+- Main organizer: Amin
+- Backup: Sacha
+- Other volunteers: bremner and ggoes - channel monitoring
+
+### Setup
+
+- Main organizer starts streaming an "Emacs Conference 2019 will start at ...." page.
+- Backup organizer sets up backup stream to Youtube
+ - `ffmpeg -i http://live0.emacsconf.org:8000/testmount.webm -c:a copy -c:v copy rtmp://a.rtmp.youtube.com/live2/STREAMING_KEY`
+ - Start streaming
+- Main organizer and backup do tech check
+- Backup confirms Icecast stream can be seen
+- Backup confirms Youtube stream can be seen
+- Both organizers start recording, stop recording, and confirm recording playback.
+ - Recording off Icecast: Main organizer
+ - `ffmpeg -i http://live0.emacsconf.org:8000/testmount.webm -c:a copy -c:v copy out.webm`
+ - Recording off YouTube: Backup organizer
+ - Mirroring to secondary Icecast sever: volunteer
+ - `ffmpeg -i http://live0.emacsconf.org:8000/testmount.webm -c:a copy -c:v copy -content_type video/webm icecast://source:password@live1.emacsconf.org:8000/testmount.webm`
+- Both organizers start recording again
+- Main organizer updates wiki with watching instructions
+- Backup organizer confirms watching instructions
+- Main organizer switches to agenda/opening image and does opening remarks
+- Backup organizer streams on phone so that she can monitor it while doing tech checks
+
+### Throughout the day
+
+- Backup checks #emacsconf-org channel and coordinates with speakers.
+ - Planned talks: check if the speaker is available and can do a quick tech check
+ - Lightning talks: Check who's ready to do their talk live with a quick tech check beforehand
+ - All right, who wants to do the next lightning talk?
+ - Please go to <https://meet.jit.si/emacsconf-tech> for a quick tech check.
+ - When you're ready, close the tech check tab and go to ___.
+- Backup does tech check with speaker in a separate jitsi room and coordinates via IRC.
+- When ready, speaker joins main conference room and presents OR main organizer changes to a different room.
+- Backup organizer updates organizer's notebook with talk status
+- Backup organizer tweets talk info
+
+### Playing prerecorded videos
+
+- Main organizer introduces talk
+- Main organizer switches to OBS video player scene and plays video with video player
+- Main organizer posts "PLAYED: <title>" in #emacsconf-org (so that it's easy to check which ones have been played already - maybe we should have a wiki page?)
+
+### In case of...
+
+#### Technical issues / speakers not present
+
+- Main organizer makes brief announcement, then play prerecorded videos
+- If there are no more prerecorded videos, possibly open the floor to participants and treat it as a hangout
+
+#### Speaker talking too long
+
+- If the next live presenter is lined up, main organizer gently nudges speaker to wrap up in five minutes
+- If no live presenter is lined up, backup organizer keeps checking the #emacsconf-org channel to see who will speak next, doing tech-check before giving the main organizer the go-ahead to nudge the speaker.
+
+We don't have to bump live presenters for a prerecorded presentation, because we can play all the prerecorded presentations at the end.
+
+#### Disruptive people joining Jitsi room
+
+- Main organizer switches to technical difficulties message or different Jitsi room
+- Backup coordinates with speaker to join a different room
+
+#### Jitsi down
+
+- Main organizer describes technical difficulties and updates status page
+- Main organizer plays prerecorded videos while backup organizer retries Jitsi with help from volunteers, coordinating via IRC
+- TODO Back up plan in case Jitsi doesn't work? Say sorry and try again a different day?
+
+### After live presentations end
+
+- Main organizer makes closing remarks
+- Main organizer plays remaining prerecorded videos
+- After all prerecorded videos, main organizer says thank you, ends the stream, and ends the recording.
+
+## Lessons learned for next time
+
+- Indicate conference times and timezone in call for proposals.
+- Consider anonymized conference submissions to reduce bias. Encourage people to do personal outreach if there are people they would like to invite to speak.
