+use the text in a blog post or elsewhere. You can look at the attached

+### Speakers we haven't confirmed e-mail communications with
+
+Hi, ${name}!
+
+I think we haven't heard from you since we accepted your EmacsConf
+${year} proposal for "${title}". EmacsConf coming up soon, so I wanted
+to check in with you to see how you're doing.
+
+Could you please e-mail us to let us know if you're still working on
+your prerecorded video, if you're planning to present live, or if you
+can't make it this year? No worries if other priorities have come up
+and you don't have the time for a presentation.
+
+If you've been working on a presentation, fantastic! When you're
+ready, you can upload it following the instructions at
+<https://emacsconf.org/${year}/prepare/> (ideally before ${prerec-date} so
+that we have time to download it, doublecheck, etc.).
+
+If you plan to present live, please go through the self-check at
+<https://test.bigbluebutton.org/> . Some speakers have encountered
+technical issues with BigBlueButton that they didn't have with Zoom or
+Google Meet, so this is something we definitely want to look into
+earlier rather than later. If that works for you, please e-mail us
+back so that I can keep your timeslot. The tentative schedule for your
+talk is on the talk page at ${url} .
+
+**Please e-mail us your plans before ${date}.** I'm
+planning to shift the schedule around to give more time to confirmed
+speakers for Q&A and possibly live demos. If I don't hear from you by
+then (maybe an over-enthusiastic spam filter has been swallowing up
+all our mail?), I'll probably reallocate the ${time} minutes that had
+been set aside for your talk. We might be able to squeeze it back in
+afterwards or play a video from you at the end of the conference day,
+but it would be nice to get the schedule sorted out instead of
+scrambling to fill gaps on the day of the conference.
+
+Hope to hear from you by ${date}!

+#### Template
+
+Hi ${speakers},
+
+EmacsConf is in a few days and I don't think we have your prerecorded
+video yet, so I'm getting miiiildly stressed about the schedule. And
+you're probably stressing out about it too, so let's go figure out how
+we can make this work.
+
+Option A: If you happen to have the prerecording or can get it done by
+tomorrow, we can probably squeeze it in. Please upload it to
+ftp-upload.emacsconf.org by following the instructions in
+<https://emacsconf.org/${year}/prepare#ftp-upload> , or send us a link using
+your favourite file-sharing service (especially if FTP is giving you
+problems).
+
+Option B: If you want to present live, it might be an option. I'm a little
+worried about the potential for technical issues, since we've had
+problems with that in previous EmacsConfs. The tight schedule means
+there's not a lot of time to figure things out, and it can be hard to
+make something as focused as a prerecorded video when you're doing it
+live. We will definitely want to make sure that:
+
+- your self-serve tech check works: <https://test.bigbluebutton.org>
+ at your convenience;
+- you check in as early as possible (at least 1 hour before, so we
+ know if the speaker before you needs to extend) and let us know
+ that you want to do it live <https://emacsconf.org/${year}/speakers> .
+ We keep adapting the schedule as things come up, so please check
+ <https://emacsconf.org/${year}/schedule/> on the day of the conference.
+
+If there are technical issues or your talk runs a little over time, we
+might have to stop streaming it on the main stream when it's time for
+the next talk. We may be able to continue streaming it on the
+alternate stream. If so, people can continue watching it there if they
+wish to.
+
+Option C: If you can't make it, that's okay. Life gets crazy
+sometimes. Please let us know and we can update the wiki. If you
+happen to be able to make a prerecorded video afterwards, we can add
+that to the wiki, playlists, and announcements. We hope you can join
+us next year.
+
+Since EmacsConf is **this weekend** (aaaaaaah), please let us know by
+tomorrow noon EST (Friday; 9AM PST, 5PM GMT, 6PM CET) so that we can
+keep the time allocated for you in the schedule. If we don't hear from
+you, we'll probably reallocate the ${time} minutes reserved for you so
+that other talks can have longer Q&A. If you can still make it, check
+in early and let us know so that we can try to work out an alternate
+stream for you. Hope to hear from you soon!
+
+Sacha

+
+### Check-in instructions
+
+Goals:
+
+- Ask speaker verify their scheduled time
+ It has already been confirmed with them, but it might have changed slightly (give-or-take 30'
+ - HOW: They should check the time at the top of their talk page on the day of the conference
+- Double-check Q&A preference, encourage tech checks for live talks/Q&A
+ - If they are available:
+ - Direct to tech-checks via <https://emacsconf.org/${year}/prepare/>
+ - Inform them of the check-in process
+ - They come say hi to us 30' before their session in #emacsconf-org or #emacsconf (they can use chat.emacsconf.org )
+ - We get them set up in a room where they can wait until the end of the broadcast of their pretention
+ - They’re joined by the streamer and host.

+#### E-mail for speakers who are planning to be at the conference
+
+Hello, ${name}!
+
+We're looking forward to having you join us at EmacsConf!
+
+We'll probably keep updating the schedule even on the day of the
+conference. You can get a rough idea of when your talk is scheduled at
+${url}. You might want to check it some time next week to get a rough
+sense of where it is, and then check it again on the day of your talk.
+
+Please check in at least 30 minutes before the scheduled start of your
+prerecorded talk so that we can deal with small scheduling changes or
+technical issues. You can find the check-in process at
+<https://emacsconf.org/${year}/speakers/> .
+
+If something comes up, please let us know as soon as you can. Here's
+our emergency contact information:

+Looking forward to seeing you soon!

+#### E-mail for speakers who are not planning to be around, but who have sent us their prerecs
+
+Hello, ${name}!
+
+Thank you so much for contributing a talk for EmacsConf ${year}! We're
+looking forward to collecting questions and forwarding them to you by
+e-mail after the conference. We'll also post the prerecording at the
+time that it gets streamed, so people will be able to access it at
+${url} once it has gone live.
+
+If it turns out that you can make it to the conference after all, feel
+free to drop us a line at #emacsconf-org and we'll let people know
+you're around. You can find the check-in process at
+<https://emacsconf.org/${year}/speakers/> .
+
+Thank you again for being part of EmacsConf ${year}!

+### Last email before the conference
+
+> Friends, emacsians, hackers, lend me your ears!
+>
+> This is it, the final stretch until the next EmacsConf. A couple of weeks
+> ago, we’ve shared our program with you; now, it is time for us to share our
+> schedule, i.e. when the talks will happen!
+>
+> You can find it on our wiki:
+> <https://emacsconf.org/$year/schedule/>
+>
+> All the times on the program are listed in EST (UTC-5). If a talk catches
+> your eye, we invite you to click on its title to find out at what time it will
+> be broadcast in your local time. Also, if the talk is pre-recorded, it will
+> also be the time at which the talk will be made available on the same page.

+
+Hi ${speakers-short}!
+
+Thank you so much for being part of EmacsConf ${year}! Hundreds of people
+enjoyed it, and I'm sure even more will come across the videos in the
+days to follow.
+
+Your prerecorded video is available on the talk page at ${url} , and
+we've added the questions and comments that we've collected from
+IRC/BBB/Etherpad. ${qa-note}
+
+We've also uploaded your talk video to ToobNix (a PeerTube
+instance) at ${toobnix-url} and YouTube at ${youtube-url} . If you
+want to reupload the video to your own channel, feel free to do so.
+${subtitle-note} If you let me know where you've uploaded
+it, I can switch our playlist to include your version of the video
+instead. That way, it might be easier for you to respond to comments
+on videos.
+
+If you would like to share more resources, you can add them to the
+talk page or e-mail them to us and we can add them for you.
+
+Thanks again for speaking at EmacsConf!
+
+Sacha
