+
+Hello, folks! Here's the weekly update on what'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'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've
+ posted the schedule at https://emacsconf.org/2022/talks/ . We'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.
+
+- I created some watch pages to support viewing different tracks:
+ https://emacsconf.org/2022/watch/ . The livestreams won't work yet
+ and it would be nice to figure out something that can dynamically
+ display info for recent/current/upcoming talks, but it'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've
+ added it to our Ansible playbook
+ (git@git.emacsconf.org:pub/emacsconf-ansible) and I'm looking
+ forward to incorporating Ry P.'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
+
+Sacha
