Higher participation? It would be a good data point from the organizers to note. +- are we going to get participation rates (# of users) in the closing remrks? +- quiliro: Would it be useful for next year's EmacsConf if I volunteered to set up crdt for creating pads directly from Emacs? +- Q: Is there an EmacsConf howto? + - Impressive event... I wish sachac or bandali would provide an EmacsConf howto! +- does the Emacs survey have geographic demographics on users? might use that to inform EmacsConf schedule + +## Discussion +- Keep up the great work for EmacsConf every year +- what a great weekend. been using emacs for 30+ years and still learned a boatload. +- it's so nice the community keeps things rolling forward. thanks y'all for the work of organizing all this! +- Definitely so much new stuff +- Got stuff to tinker with for a month or two +- thanks to all organizers and presenters. everything so well done! +- And besides the organizers, thanks to everyone who gave a talk this year!! +- pretty nice talks and emacsconf in general! Thanks a lot +- I think we can all say that we enjoyed a lot of the talks +- this conf already goaded me into trying out 29 (building on a mac, so far. Linux boxen are next) to try the core tree sitter stuff. I need to go back and watch talks I miss and follow up on notes I already have. Love all this content! +- thanks a lot organizers! emacs, emacs people, emacsconf - all are outstanding 8-) +- Great emacsconf, as always! Thank you all that have been involved making it happen! +- As a longtime Emacs user, it was great to stumble on this conference. Thanks +- bandali sachac zaeph & team : What a treat this yearly EmacsConf, many thanks to you for your outstanding work... once again! +- 07:25] <bandali> <3 +- some notes on how we did it in the pad +- Meeting or rather seing yu all reinforces the belive in me that Emacs is the better computing thing. It can archive this! Thank you. +- I had to make some decisions on which track to listen to, but that comes with the territory, I suppose. The two traks worked great. +- Me too. It went very well! +- emacsconf.org -- It's a domain name! It's an org-mode file! It's a domain name and an org-mode file! +- Tracks + - Yeah, there were some points where I wanted to watch 2 talks at the same time as well + - But I really liked the 2 tracks + - But, I liked the fact that it gave more time for Q&As and we were more relaxed + - Last year was much more of a hurry + - This edition went extremely smoothly. + - I don't think that many people watched both talks at the same time. + - I'm not sure, I think people who watched dev would probably be interested in gen also. + - most people would find their preference and not jump-room +- Stack: + - //git.emacsconf.org looks to be interesting! + - Yes! Our wiki is git based (which I think is really cool) +- Timezones: + - I am in Europe and I personally like the time in which the talk is for me more than the American timezone + - I try to schedule all the talks based on speaker availability + - I wouldnt like waking up at 9 am in the weekend + - But I think its good both for Americans and Europeans + - for me it was great because I wake up 4 hours before start and go to sleep 1 hour after closing +- I think that previewing the talks would be great to be able to make more or better questions + - volunteer again next year! =) + - sure, sachac .... it has been a great experience...even better than giving a talk! more relaxed at least +- I loved sameer's talk even with the problems +- I loved that 95% of the talkes had captions. that is why i could follow up with the Sameer talk +- i was impressed about the feedback the organizers had before and during the event +- this organization was impressive +- thanks to you for being so active during the two days of conference! +- even being active in chat helps make the conference feel more alive +- wanting to experience more of the conference in Emacs + - I found it a bit hard to switch between Emacs, IRC, VLC and the Etherpad. Something like crdt.el would be great. + - Impressive techsetup and execution. Amazing that you did this with that much polish and utility. I think next thing would be an Emacs mode :P + - Seriously, an emacsconf-mode would be great. I browsed the website from eww, started vlc from eww, irced from Emacs. The only thing missing was this etherpad. + - and even my mpv was running inside Emacs....in EXWM + - I have top half taken by emacs split into a bunch of irc windows and the bottom split into two with etherpad on the left and the mpv on the right + - Yes Emacs collaboration is missing. But maybe next? I too had most in emacs. Beste. + - I absolutely agree. Actually, I was unconsciously expecting to access the conf from within Emacs, for some reason (well, to some extent, I did, by using empv for the videos and ement for the chat :) + - I had the schedule in Agenda. You could download a localized org schedule. + - Yes this could be more visible #feedback + - https://github.com/isamert/empv.el (a package which allows one to use mpv from within Emacs) + - Organizing and running, and attending, an online conference about Emacs, all in Emacs - take that VS Code +- jman, FlowyCoder, bandali : I did not see you.... were you in the back end? + - quiliro, i was a bit more present this year actually, but mainly on the dev track rather than gen + - bandali was hosting the dev track so on screen here and there and various voice overs;jman and FlowyCoder were indeed running different backstage things [[!inline pages="internal(2022/info/sun-close-after)" raw="yes"]] |
