Thank +you! + +# Process + +This year we are experimenting with per-talk pads in order to simplify +the experience for the speakers, since many speakers found it +difficult to find and focus on their section in a long pad. + +Open one window with the watch page for the EmacsConf track so that +you can watch the prerecorded video and the Q&A session. Open another +for the pad for the current talk. You can get the pad URL from the +watch page, the talk page, the IRC announcements, or by navigating the +**Next talks** links on a pad. + +You don't need to make a verbatim transcription. Short bullet-points +are enough. If you're not sure about a term, you can mark it with +something like ?? and someone else may be able to fill it in. If you +happen to be able to quickly add timestamps in US/Eastern time, that +may be handy. + +If you would like to continue scribing the live Q&A for a session even +after the next pre-recorded talk starts, you can join the BBB session +for the live Q&A. Scribing live Q&A sessions might be more useful than +scribing the pre-recorded video portion because people will have +access to the videos and possibly transcripts, while Q&A may take a +while to extract. + +To make it easier for the hosts and speakers, we keep the BBB room +URLs secret until the hosts or speakers give the OK to open it up. +When the host or speaker invites everyone in, you can add the BBB URL +to the Etherpad to make it easier for people to join from there. + +You can keep an eye on the time to see when the next live Q&A session +is starting so that you can join the next one if there are overlapping +sessions. + +# In case of... + +- Oopsies: Sometimes people accidentally delete chunks of the pad. It happens. + You can use the time slider (looks like a clock, second icon in the + top right) to go back to a previous version. + +- Incidents: If someone isn't keeping + [[guidelines for conduct|conduct]] in mind, let us know in + `#emacsconf-org` and we'll figure out how to deal with the + situation. + +# After the conference + +We'll archive the pad on the talk page after the event, so your work +will also help people follow up, find ideas and answers, and get even +more out of EmacsConf 2023.
