## Participating
-For audience questions specifically, we will be experimenting with
-using a collaboratively-editable Etherpad as the primary means of
-collecting audience questions.
-<https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/emacsconf-2020> If, however, you are
-unable to access the pad to add your question(s), we will still try to
-take questions from our IRC channel (`#emacsconf` on
-`chat.freenode.net`), and ask one or two volunteers to kindly add
-questions from that channel to the pad on behalf of folks who are not
-able to or prefer not to use the web-based questions pad. To make your
-question easier to spot, please start it with **Q:**.
