-** Can we nudge people to ask IRC questions in a way that will make it easier for us to follow them?
-
+** What ideas do we want to borrow from other conferences?
+
+- FOSDEM had a conference track
+ - https://archive.fosdem.org/2022/schedule/track/conference_organisation/
+- DebConf
+ - Thorough documentation at https://debconf-video-team.pages.debian.net/docs/
+ - https://debconf-video-team.pages.debian.net/docs/online_volunteer_roles.html
+ - SReview for cutting videos?
+ - https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DebConf/Video/Subtitles
+ - Pentabarf https://lists.debian.org/debconf-team/2008/08/msg00147.html
+
+- LibrePlanet https://libreplanet.org/2022/
+ - libreadventure, minetest?
+** Do we want to make the ikiwiki web-editable?
Pain points:
+- Speakers usually ended up going through us
-- Q&A/discussions often overlap with the next talks
-- Sometimes questions don't get copied to the pad
-- Fast discussions can get overwhelming
-
-Ideas:
+Options:
+- Web-editable:
+ - Speakers and general public will be able to edit it more easily
+- Git: (current)
+ - Haven't had a problem with spam
+ - Reduces merge conflict potential
-- Announce pad link at the beginning of the talk and at the start of
- live Q&A, encourage most people to ask questions there
-- Encourage people to start questions with Q:
- - A little extra work, but not as much as including the slug
- - Easier to pick out when people search
- - Volunteers can restate questions easily if people forget the Q:
-- Encourage people to start questions with Q-slug: (ex: Q-news: question about Emacs News Highlights, Q-journalism: ...)
- - Easier to pick out questions even with overlapping Q&A/talks
-- Use two or three IRC channels so that talks can rotate among channels
- - Easier to pick out questions even with overlapping Q&A/talks
- - Needs logging and more organizer attention
-- Maybe a volunteer can have an ERC command that copies a question into a buffer, or even into the Etherpad
** How do we want to make better use of Etherpad?
Pain points:
- Lots of scrolling for speakers
@@ -148,6 +150,54 @@ Pain points:
- Worked fine last year
- Host our own
- Might be able to use API to append questions to it, if we want to get super fancy
+*** Do we want to embed the pad as an iframe on the watch page? on talk pages?
+This guides people to use the pad for discussion/questions instead of IRC
+
+Options:
+
+- Current: None, just a link
+- Big pad on the watch page:
+- Individual pads:
+ - Watch page needs to be updated with current pad and link to previous pad
+ - Individual talk page can embed the iframe
+- Embed the IRC channel instead
+
+** Shall we put a generic e-mail address for sending feedback, maybe with different mailtos?
+Pain points:
+- Many talk pages don't have public e-mail addresses, so it takes a
+ little extra work (or is sometimes impossible) for people to follow
+ up if they have questions
+
+Options:
+- Do nothing (current)
+- Add a mailto link to emacsconf-discuss that prepopulates the subject
+- Add a mailto link to emacsconf-org
+ - Wider discussion
+- Add a mailto to emacsconf-org-private
+ - Private feedback that can be forwarded to the speaker
