Please start your filename with the identifier +for your talk, which is the last part of the talk page URL. For +example, if your talk page is at +https://emacsconf.org/2022/talks/journalism/ , the ID is +`journalism`. + +If you have slides, notes, or a script for your talk, please include +them as well. We can post them on the talk page, and we can also use +them to help caption your talk. You can also send us additional text +or links to include on your talk page. If you need help, please email +<emacsconf-submit@gnu.org>. + +Please let us know at <emacsconf-submit@gnu.org> if you do *not* want +your talk included in the EmacsConf 2022 password-protected backstage +area for volunteers and speakers. + +[[!toc]] + +# Web interface + +Go to <https://ftp-upload.emacsconf.org> and enter the password +**emacsconf** (Javascript required, compatible with LibreJS). + +You can upload multiple files by dragging and dropping onto the window +or by clicking on the green + button at the bottom of the list on the +left. The default settings are fine. + +When you have selected all of your files, click on the **Upload** +button. The page will show a progress bar. When the upload is +complete, the page will display the download URL. You can e-mail +<emacsconf-submit@gnu.org> with that URL, or we can pick up the files +when we check regularly. + +<a name="ftp"></a> +# FTP +Here are the FTP server details: + +- host: ftp-upload.emacsconf.org +- username: anonymous +- port: 21 +- folder: upload-here + +To upload your recording and any accompanying material to the above +FTP server, you can use your FTP client of choice. For instance, +FileZilla, a free/libre user-friendly application with a graphical +user interface. On deb-based GNU/Linux distributions such as Trisquel +you can install FileZilla by running `sudo apt install filezilla` in a +terminal. Otherwise, you can download FileZilla from their [project +website](https://filezilla-project.org/). + +You can also use a command-line interface with `ftp`: + +``` +$ ftp ftp-upload.emacsconf.org 21 +> anonymous +> passive +> cd upload-here +> send /local/path/to/file.ext file.ext # Don’t forget the 2nd arg! +# Ctrl-D to exit +``` + +If you get a `500 Illegal PORT command.` command, try `passive` or +`quote pasv` to switch to passive mode before sending your file. + +If connection fails on the first try, please check to make sure the +details are exactly as described above; and if the issue persists, +please email <emacsconf-submit@gnu.org> so we can look into it. + +# What happens next? + +We'll send you an e-mail when we download your files. Then we'll +process your video to normalize the audio levels and try to reduce +noise. We'll also convert it into a standard format using codecs that +aren't encumbered by patents, and we'll make a compressed version that +will be easier for people with limited bandwidth. + +We'll upload your materials to the EmacsConf 2022 backstage area so +that volunteers can work on captioning it. If you don't want your talk +included in the backstage area for volunteers and other speakers, +please let us know at <emacsconf-submit@gnu.org> before you submit +your talk + +In a few weeks, we'll e-mail you check-in instructions for the +conference. If you plan to have a live Q&A session, we'll also e-mail +you instructions for the BigBlueButton room that you can use to answer +questions. + +On the day of the conference, we'll move your materials to the public +EmacsConf 2022 area and publish them when the talk is streamed. + +# What if you can't upload the presentation by November 4? + +We can accept later submissions, although it's more of a scramble. +Please try to upload your talk as soon as you can. (Our stress levels +get higher and higher as the conference approaches!) + +Thank you for your help in getting ready for a smooth EmacsConf 2022! |
