- EmacsConf 2022 and onwards
This entry is mostly for points we cannot address for EmacsConf 2021 (for lack of time), but that we’d still like to track for the future.
+ - We have plenty of lessons learned in conf.org. :)
- Improving the review process
- Involving the public (i.e. doing it publicly)
- Involving more communities

- We should make it easier for other people to edit the conf.org for publishing the schedule; for 2021, sachac and zaeph were able to do it, but we should make it more our functions more robust.
- Add edit-in-place functionality to ikiwiki
- An alternative would be to enable push-via-https, but bandali isn’t enthused by it.
+ - Move the video-files to one of our FH server.
+ - We could have an alternate stream for captioned talks
+ - For 2021, we can just direct people to watching the talks from the talk-page.
+ - Working with BBB
+ - We could suggest some improvements to BBB based on our needs. Plenty of FLOSS projects rely on BBB, and I think it’d be fair to make some suggestions to them.
+ - Possible suggestions:
+ - Presentation layouts (based the CSS provided by bandali’s FSF colleague)
+ - Figuring out a better way to collate audio streams (normalisation, codecs)
- EmacsVerse
- Vet Mailman and exim instance for usergroups: bandali

+ - OBS scenes for streaming prerec separately from whatever Amin is actually doing
+ - Hosting: zaeph to review the talks and think about the introductions
+ - Start working on list of speakers expected for live Q&A or live presentation? Actually, we'll want all the speakers to check in if available anyway, since we want to mention IRC/etherpad availability
+ - zaeph: Figured out MPV setup for open captions, yay! Will post the MPV profile so that we can all have fun with it.
+
+ - sachac: Figure out day-of publishing
+ - Will try to post prerecs on media.emacsconf.org, wiki pages, and YouTube during talk; ToobNix? bandali will send sachac the account information and then sachac can queue things up for publishing

+- Summary of actions
+ - sachac:
+ - Publish schedule to the public wiki
+ - zaeph can take this information afterwards to figure out what to email to the speakers
+ - Figure out workflow for publishing prerecs on the day of the presentation
+ - It’ll be nice to have one command and have everything happen in the background
+ - Doublecheck ffmpeg commands for low-res, YouTube restreams
+ - Scrape pronunciations and pronouns from wiki pages / email, put them into conf.org (:PRONOUNS: and :PRONUNCIATIONS:)
+ - zaeph will take care of updating :PRONUNCIATIONS: when he receives email
+ - Modify scripts to msg bandali and zaeph with check-in info, include pronouns and pronunciation
+ - zaeph:
+ - Draft e-mail to ask speakers to check schedule, check again day of the conference if live, check in 30 minutes before their session, collect emergency contact information
+ - Re: ICE; figure out a workflow for storing/accessing the data (GPG, etc.)
+ - Draft general announcement e-mail for schedule, ICS
+ - Include MPV profile in conf.org so that bandali and dragestil can try it out
+ - Next week: Keep answering emails, Update talk pages/conf.org with extra info, Review talks, think about introductions
+ - Create BBBB rooms A, B, C, D for check-ins, and share rights with bandali and sachac
+ - bandali:
+ - send sachac Toobnix credentials which is tied to the one with EmacsConf
+ - look into BBB layout options from FSF colleague, and test how robust it is
+ - As long as it doesn’t do anything crazy (like covering the video), it’s fine
+ - coordinate with alternate streamers

+ - OBS chores
+ - update graphics for 2021
+ - save out a "clean" set of scenes
+ - Create a 6 sec video
