+
+00:00.007 --> 00:03.484
+Welcome to EmacsConf 2024, where we have fun
+
+00:03.485 --> 00:06.125
+exploring how much we can do with a text editor.
+
+00:06.126 --> 00:08.161
+It's hard to give a general overview
+
+00:08.162 --> 00:10.039
+of all the cool talks today and tomorrow,
+
+00:10.040 --> 00:11.237
+so you can flip through the talks
+
+00:11.238 --> 00:12.902
+and see what sparks your interests.
+
+00:12.903 --> 00:15.334
+Don't feel limited to one track or another.
+
+00:15.335 --> 00:18.492
+The best parts of EmacsConf are the conversations.
+
+00:18.493 --> 00:21.290
+The wiki has a page on how to watch and participate,
+
+00:21.291 --> 00:23.688
+and I'll give you a quick overview as well.
+
+00:23.689 --> 00:26.886
+You can watch both streams at live.emacsconf.org
+
+00:26.887 --> 00:29.364
+using free and open source software.
+
+00:29.365 --> 00:31.442
+Using a streaming media player like mpv
+
+00:31.443 --> 00:34.640
+seems to be the best way to watch in terms of performance
+
+00:34.641 --> 00:36.359
+but there are also web-based players
+
+00:36.360 --> 00:37.917
+just in case that's all you've got.
+
+00:37.918 --> 00:39.915
+The schedule shows the General track on top
+
+00:39.916 --> 00:41.533
+and the Development track on the bottom,
+
+00:41.534 --> 00:43.631
+so you can see what else is going on.
+
+00:43.632 --> 00:45.168
+As you're watching the talks,
+
+00:45.169 --> 00:47.488
+you can refer to the schedule in another window.
+
+00:47.489 --> 00:50.406
+Hover over the boxes to see the times and titles,
+
+00:50.407 --> 00:52.044
+and click on the boxes in the schedule
+
+00:52.045 --> 00:54.643
+to jump to the talk's page for more details.
+
+00:54.644 --> 00:57.821
+You can also get the schedule as an iCalendar file
+
+00:57.822 --> 00:59.965
+or as an Org file in different time zones.
+
+00:59.966 --> 01:01.438
+Many talks will be followed by
+
+01:01.439 --> 01:04.076
+live Q&A web conferences with the speaker,
+
+01:04.077 --> 01:06.583
+which will be done in BigBlueButton or BBB.
+
+01:06.584 --> 01:09.333
+These are indicated with a solid border on the schedule
+
+01:09.334 --> 01:12.482
+and by Q&A: BBB on the schedule page.
+
+01:12.483 --> 01:14.410
+You can join the web conference room
+
+01:14.411 --> 01:15.989
+by clicking on the BBB link
+
+01:15.990 --> 01:18.747
+on the schedule page or the talk's webpage.
+
+01:18.748 --> 01:21.846
+Then you can ask your questions yourself when the Q&A starts.
+
+01:21.847 --> 01:24.824
+To improve performance, please keep your webcam off
+
+01:24.825 --> 01:27.043
+and stay muted until it's your turn to talk.
+
+01:27.044 --> 01:28.261
+If you don't like Javascript,
+
+01:28.262 --> 01:30.259
+you can still ask questions via IRC
+
+01:30.260 --> 01:32.434
+and the hosts can read them out for you.
+
+01:32.435 --> 01:34.192
+We're probably going to automatically switch
+
+01:34.193 --> 01:36.190
+between talks and Q&A sessions,
+
+01:36.191 --> 01:38.868
+so the transitions on the stream might be a little sudden.
+
+01:38.869 --> 01:40.387
+People in the BigBlueButton room
+
+01:40.388 --> 01:42.025
+can continue the conversation
+
+01:42.026 --> 01:44.463
+even after the talk moves off-stream.
+
+01:44.464 --> 01:46.181
+and you can also reach out to the speakers
+
+01:46.182 --> 01:48.724
+using the contact information on the talk page.
+
+01:48.725 --> 01:52.222
+Other talks will have Q&A via Etherpad or IRC,
+
+01:52.223 --> 01:54.180
+depending on what the speakers prefer.
+
+01:54.181 --> 01:56.738
+This is indicated in the schedule with a dashed border
+
+01:56.739 --> 01:58.264
+and on the schedule page as well.
+
+01:58.265 --> 01:59.603
+As an experiment,
+
+01:59.604 --> 02:02.002
+the Q&A for the mcclim talk this afternoon
+
+02:02.003 --> 02:03.881
+will also be in LambdaMOO.
+
+02:03.882 --> 02:05.040
+If you'd like to try it out,
+
+02:05.041 --> 02:07.039
+see the mcclim talk page for instructions
+
+02:07.040 --> 02:08.759
+so you can join the discussion there.
+
+02:08.760 --> 02:11.557
+The schedule pages and track pages have quick shortcuts
+
+02:11.558 --> 02:14.675
+so that you can find out more about talks, open the Etherpads,
+
+02:14.676 --> 02:16.402
+and join the Q&A sessions.
+
+02:16.403 --> 02:18.192
+The watch page has more tips
+
+02:18.193 --> 02:19.731
+on how to make the most of Q&A.
+
+02:19.732 --> 02:22.609
+If you can, please add notes and ask questions
+
+02:22.610 --> 02:25.087
+in the Etherpad for the talk. That makes it easier
+
+02:25.088 --> 02:26.725
+for everyone to share their notes,
+
+02:26.726 --> 02:29.603
+and speakers and hosts can read the questions from there.
+
+02:29.604 --> 02:31.841
+We'll copy the notes to the talk pages afterwards.
+
+02:31.842 --> 02:33.719
+We have one pad for each talk,
+
+02:33.720 --> 02:36.197
+so you can follow the links to get to the next one
+
+02:36.198 --> 02:39.115
+or go back to the schedule and get the link from there.
+
+02:39.116 --> 02:40.633
+If you have general feedback about
+
+02:40.634 --> 02:42.791
+the conference itself, please put it in
+
+02:42.792 --> 02:47.389
+pad.emacsconf.org/2024 , which is linked on each pad.
+
+02:47.390 --> 02:49.547
+You can also use this as a general community message board
+
+02:49.548 --> 02:51.786
+for things like Help Wanted.
+
+02:51.787 --> 02:54.864
+Internet Relay Chat or IRC can be another great way
+
+02:54.865 --> 02:56.982
+to be part of lots of conversations.
+
+02:56.983 --> 03:01.180
+You can use chat.emacsconf.org to join the IRC channels
+
+03:01.181 --> 03:02.712
+through your web browser.
+
+03:02.713 --> 03:04.657
+The tabs on the left can help you
+
+03:04.658 --> 03:06.775
+switch between the different channels.
+
+03:06.776 --> 03:09.453
+There's #emacsconf-gen for the General track
+
+03:09.454 --> 03:12.171
+and #emacsconf-dev for the Development track.
+
+03:12.172 --> 03:16.089
+If you need to reach us, you can join #emacsconf-org
+
+03:16.090 --> 03:21.248
+or e-mail emacsconf-org-private@gnu.org.
+
+03:21.249 --> 03:25.205
+You can use #emacsconf for hallway conversations.
+
+03:25.206 --> 03:27.283
+Of course, you can join any of these channels
+
+03:27.284 --> 03:29.182
+with your favourite IRC client
+
+03:29.183 --> 03:32.080
+by connecting to irc.libera.chat
+
+03:32.081 --> 03:35.959
+port 6697 using TLS.
+
+03:35.960 --> 03:38.597
+Once again, we're going to be streaming with open captions
+
+03:38.598 --> 03:41.355
+for most of the talks this year, thanks to our speakers and
+
+03:41.356 --> 03:44.793
+captioning volunteers. The captioned talks are indicated
+
+03:44.794 --> 03:47.231
+on the schedule, and with any luck, we'll be posting
+
+03:47.232 --> 03:50.709
+transcripts on talk pages shortly after the talks start.
+
+03:50.710 --> 03:52.307
+If you need additional accommodations,
+
+03:52.308 --> 03:54.566
+please let us know in #emacsconf-org
+
+03:54.567 --> 03:57.064
+and we'll see if we can make things happen.
+
+03:57.065 --> 04:00.942
+If something goes down, we'll update status.emacsconf.org.
+
+04:00.943 --> 04:02.700
+If it doesn't look like we've noticed yet,
+
+04:02.701 --> 04:06.099
+please let us know in the #emacsconf-org IRC channel,
+
+04:06.100 --> 04:08.658
+where we will be quietly panicking.
+
+04:08.659 --> 04:11.216
+In all of these conversations, please keep in mind
+
+04:11.217 --> 04:13.534
+our guidelines for conduct. You can find them on the wiki.
+
+04:13.535 --> 04:16.153
+They basically boil down to: please be nice.
+
+04:16.154 --> 04:18.430
+If all goes well, the prerecorded talks and transcripts
+
+04:18.431 --> 04:20.348
+should be available from the talk pages
+
+04:20.349 --> 04:21.906
+shortly after they start playing,
+
+04:21.907 --> 04:24.304
+and we'll post the recordings of live talks
+
+04:24.305 --> 04:27.062
+and Q&A sessions within the next month or so.
+
+04:27.063 --> 04:29.300
+If you'd like to get an update, you can subscribe to
+
+04:29.301 --> 04:31.978
+the emacsconf-discuss mailing list.
+
+04:31.979 --> 04:33.056
+All right, let's get going.
+
+04:33.057 --> 04:34.974
+Leo is hosting the general track,
+
+04:34.975 --> 04:36.772
+and Corwin is hosting the development track.
+
+04:36.773 --> 04:39.850
+The other volunteers and I will run around mostly backstage,
+
+04:39.851 --> 04:41.888
+and you'll probably meet us in the closing remarks.
+
+04:41.889 --> 04:43.326
+That's also where we get to thank
+
+04:43.327 --> 04:45.124
+all the people and organizations
+
+04:45.125 --> 04:46.322
+who make EmacsConf possible.
+
+04:46.323 --> 04:49.721
+Thanks for coming to EmacsConf 2024.
