+# Call for participation
+
+What have you found exciting about [Emacs](https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/) lately? Have you figured out a good workflow? Used Emacs for something interesting? Come share what you've been learning at EmacsConf 2025 and meet other enthusiasts along the way! All backgrounds and all levels of experience are welcome. Emacs isn't just a text editor, it's a way of life!
+
+[EmacsConf 2025](https://emacsconf.org/2025/) will be a virtual conference on **December 6 and 7, 2025 (Sat-Sun, 9AM-5PM UTC-5 America/Toronto, which is the same as 2PM-10PM UTC)**. We hope to get your talk proposal by ****Friday, September 19, 2025.****
+
+If there are similar proposals, we'll work with people so that the talks can cover different facets.
+
+
+# Talk formats
+
+Ideally, talks will be prerecorded so that you can script and edit them as tightly as you want, and so that they can be captioned for accessibility. Here are the talk options:
+
+- **5-10 minute lightning talk:** just the essentials! If you can squeeze your prerecorded talk into 5-10 minutes by focusing on the essentials (not by talking super quickly!), we might be able to repeat it during the conference in order to fill gaps.
+- **20-minute talk:** short enough to keep people's attention, long enough to get into some details.
+
+There will be time for questions and answers after your talk, so you don't need to include that in your talk timing. Just like in previous EmacsConf, you can answer questions via a live video conference, IRC ([Internet Relay Chat](https://chat.emacsconf.org)), the Etherpad (a web-based collaborative document), the wiki, or email (your choice). The stream will move on to the next talk at the scheduled time, but interested people can keep hanging out with you for a longer conversation.
+
+If you are not available during the conference itself but you have a neat idea that you'd like to share, please propose it anyway! You can always handle questions after the conference, and we might even be able to coordinate with other Emacs meetups for events in other time zones.
+
+We may have time for a few longer sessions. If you'd like to be considered for a longer time slot, please include an outline for the extra time in addition to your 20-minute proposal. Other session formats such as tutorials, workshops, and hangouts are welcome as well.
+
+
+# Submitting your proposal
+
+[Send us your idea](https://emacsconf.org/2025/submit/) as soon as you can, so that you can have more time
+to work on your talk. (Proposal deadline: ****Friday, September 19, 2025****)
+
+If you need help, you can email us publicly at [emacsconf-org@gnu.org](mailto:emacsconf-org@gnu.org)
+or privately at [emacsconf-org-private@gnu.org](mailto:emacsconf-org-private@gnu.org). You can also come and
+say hi to us on our IRC channel `#emacsconf` on `irc.libera.chat`
+using [your favourite IRC client](ircs://irc.libera.chat:6697/emacsconf), or by visiting [chat.emacsconf.org](https://chat.emacsconf.org) in
+your web browser.
+
+
+# Know someone who might have something to share?
+
+All kinds of people use Emacs for all kinds of things. We'd love it
+if EmacsConf 2025 could highlight interesting perspectives and reflect
+the diversity of our community. If you know someone who might have a
+good idea for a talk, please reach out to them and encourage them to
+submit a proposal. Many people (especially from underrepresented
+groups such as women, people of colour, non-developers, etc.) might
+not consider themselves proficient enough to share their thoughts.
+If you let them know that you value their knowledge and experiences,
+and maybe even suggest something that you think others would like to
+hear about, they may realize that they do have something worth sharing
+and that we would love to hear from them.
+
+
+# Want to volunteer?
+
+If you would like to help with the conference (planning the sessions,
+reviewing proposals, helping with infrastructure, making sessions
+more accessible, editing video transcripts, checking in speakers,
+reading questions out loud, organizing notes, etc.), please see our
+[volunteer](https://emacsconf.org/volunteer/) page. Volunteers get early access to talks and learn lots
+of things along the way. We'd really appreciate your help in making
+EmacsConf 2025 the best one so far!
+
+
+# Commitment to freedom
+
+We remain fully committed to freedom. You'll be able to participate
+in EmacsConf using [free/libre software](https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html), and we use free/libre software
+to organize and run the conference. You can find some notes about our
+setup and process at <https://emacsconf.org/infra/>.

+
+* COMMENT How to export this file :noexport:
+
+The =ircs= link type is not part of standard Org Mode, so Org will
+throw an error if you try to export this file.
+
+To work around that, you can use something along the lines of the
+Emacs Lisp code below by either adding it to your init file, or by
+putting the point in the code block and hitting =C-c C-v e= (that is,
+hold Ctrl, then hit c followed by v, then release Ctrl, and hit e) to
+evaluate the code, working around the issue only for the current
+session.
+
+#+begin_src emacs-lisp :results silent
+(org-link-set-parameters
+ "ircs"
+ :export
+ (lambda (link description format)
+ "Export an ircs link.
+See `org-link-parameters' for details about LINK, DESCRIPTION and
+FORMAT."
+ (let ((desc (or description link)))
+ (pcase format
+ (`html (format "<a href=\"ircs:%s\">%s</a>" link desc))
+ (`md (format "[%s](ircs:%s)" desc link))
+ (_ nil)))))
+#+end_src
+
+Other CFPs we can borrow ideas from:
+
+- https://debconf23.debconf.org/cfp/ - includes early submission timeline
+- https://fosdem.org/2023/news/2022-11-13-call-for-presentations/ - mentions upload date, license
+- https://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/libreplanet-2023-will-be-held-march-18-19-cfs-extended-to-november-23

+
+Welcome to EmacsConf 2025, where we have fun
+exploring how much we can do with a text editor.
+It&rsquo;s hard to give a general overview
+of all the cool talks today and tomorrow,
+so you can flip through the talks
+and see what sparks your interests.
+Don&rsquo;t feel limited to one track or another.
+The best parts of EmacsConf are the conversations.
+The wiki has a page on how to watch and participate,
+and I&rsquo;ll give you a quick overview as well.
+You can watch both streams at live.emacsconf.org
+using free and open source software.
+Using a streaming media player like mpv
+seems to be the best way to watch in terms of performance
+but there are also web-based players
+just in case that&rsquo;s all you&rsquo;ve got.
+The schedule shows the General track on top
+and the Development track on the bottom,
+so you can see what else is going on.
+As you&rsquo;re watching the talks,
+you can refer to the schedule in another window.
+Hover over the boxes to see the times and titles,
+and click on the boxes in the schedule
+to jump to the talk&rsquo;s page for more details.
+You can also get the schedule as an iCalendar file
+or as an Org file in different time zones.
+Many talks will be followed by
+live Q&A web conferences with the speaker,
+which will be done in BigBlueButton or BBB.
+These are indicated with a solid border on the schedule
+and by Q&A: BBB on the schedule page.
+You can join the web conference room
+by clicking on the BBB link
+on the schedule page or the talk&rsquo;s webpage.
+Then you can ask your questions yourself when the Q&A starts.
+To improve performance, please keep your webcam off
+and stay muted until it&rsquo;s your turn to talk.
+If you don&rsquo;t like Javascript,
+you can still ask questions via IRC
+and the hosts can read them out for you.
+We&rsquo;re probably going to automatically switch
+between talks and Q&A sessions,
+so the transitions on the stream might be a little sudden.
+
+People in the BigBlueButton room
+can continue the conversation
+even after the talk moves off-stream.
+and you can also reach out to the speakers
+using the contact information on the talk page.
+
+Other talks will have Q&A via Etherpad or IRC,
+depending on what the speakers prefer.
+This is indicated in the schedule with a dashed border
+and on the schedule page as well.
+Some talks will have the Q&A after the event,
+so you can add your questions to their Etherpad
+or ask on IRC.
+We&rsquo;ll e-mail the speakers afterwards
+and update the talk pages when they answer.
+The schedule pages and track pages have quick shortcuts
+so that you can find out more about talks, open the Etherpads,
+and join the Q&A sessions. The watch page has more tips
+on how to make the most of Q&A.
+If you can, please add notes and ask questions
+in the Etherpad for the talk. That makes it easier
+for everyone to share their notes,
+and speakers and hosts can read the questions from there.
+We&rsquo;ll copy the notes to the talk pages afterwards.
+We have one pad for each talk,
+so you can follow the links to get to the next one
+or go back to the schedule and get the link from there.
+If you have general feedback about
+the conference itself, please put it in
+pad.emacsconf.org/2025 , which is linked on each pad.
+You can also use this as a general community message board
+for things like Help Wanted.
+Internet Relay Chat or IRC can be another great way
+to be part of lots of conversations.
+You can use chat.emacsconf.org to join the IRC channels
+through your web browser. The tabs on the left can help you
+switch between the different channels.
+There&rsquo;s #emacsconf-gen for the General track
+and #emacsconf-dev for the Development track.
+If you need to reach us, you can join #emacsconf-org
+or e-mail emacsconf-org-private@gnu.org.
+You can use #emacsconf for hallway conversations.
+Of course, you can join any of these channels
+with your favourite IRC client.
+You can connect to irc.libera.chat
+port 6697 with TLS.
+Once again, we&rsquo;re going to be streaming with open captions
+for most of the talks this year, thanks to our speakers and
+captioning volunteers. The captioned talks are indicated
+on the schedule, and with any luck, we&rsquo;ll be posting
+transcripts on talk pages shortly after the talks start.
+If you need additional accommodations,
+please let us know in #emacsconf-org
+and we&rsquo;ll see if we can make things happen.
+If something goes down, we&rsquo;ll update status.emacsconf.org.
+If it doesn&rsquo;t look like we&rsquo;ve noticed yet,
+please let us know in the #emacsconf-org IRC channel,
+where we will be quietly panicking.
+In all of these conversations, please keep in mind
+our guidelines for conduct. You can find them on the wiki,
+They basically boil down to: please be nice.
+If all goes well, the prerecorded talks and transcripts
+should be available from the talk pages
+shortly after they start playing,
+and we&rsquo;ll post the recordings of live talks
+and Q&A sessions within the next month or so.
+If you&rsquo;d like to get an update, you can subscribe to
+the emacsconf-discuss mailing list.
+All right, let&rsquo;s get going.
+Leo is hosting the general track,
+and Corwin hosting the development track.
+The other volunteers and I will run around mostly backstage,
+and you&rsquo;ll probably meet us in the closing remarks.
+That&rsquo;s also where we get to thank
+all the people and organizations
+who make EmacsConf possible.
+Thanks for coming to EmacsConf 2025.

+Please ask your questions in the recommended places

+
+Some talks will have the Q&A after the event,
+so you can add your questions to their Etherpad.
+We&rsquo;ll e-mail the speakers afterwards
+and update the talk pages when they answer.
+
+We&rsquo;re going to start Sunday morning
+with more IRC/Etherpad Q&A
+to try to get around
+some of the bandwidth issues
+that we noticed last year.
+
+The schedule pages and track pages have quick shortcuts
+so that you can find out more about talks, open the Etherpads,
+and join the Q&A sessions. The watch page has more tips
+on how to make the most of Q&A.

+
+Welcome to EmacsConf 2025, where we have fun
+exploring how much we can do with a text editor.
+It's hard to give a general overview
+of all the cool talks today and tomorrow,
+so you can flip through the talks
+and see what sparks your interests.
+Don't feel limited to one track or another.
+The best parts of EmacsConf are the conversations.
+The wiki has a page on how to watch and participate,
+and I'll give you a quick overview as well.
+You can watch both streams at live.emacsconf.org
+using free and open source software.
+Using a streaming media player like mpv
+seems to be the best way to watch in terms of performance
+but there are also web-based players
+just in case that's all you've got.
+The schedule shows the General track on top
+and the Development track on the bottom,
+so you can see what else is going on.
+As you're watching the talks,
+you can refer to the schedule in another window.
+Hover over the boxes to see the times and titles,
+and click on the boxes in the schedule
+to jump to the talk's page for more details.
+You can also get the schedule as an iCalendar file
+or as an Org file in different time zones.
+Many talks will be followed by
+live Q&A web conferences with the speaker,
+which will be done in BigBlueButton or BBB.
+These are indicated with a solid border on the schedule
+and by Q&A: BBB on the schedule page.
+You can join the web conference room
+by clicking on the BBB link
+on the schedule page or the talk's webpage.
+Then you can ask your questions yourself when the Q&A starts.
+To improve performance, please keep your webcam off
+and stay muted until it's your turn to talk.
+If you don't like Javascript,
+you can still ask questions via IRC
+and the hosts can read them out for you.
+We're probably going to automatically switch
+between talks and Q&A sessions,
+so the transitions on the stream might be a little sudden.
+
+People in the BigBlueButton room
+can continue the conversation
+even after the talk moves off-stream.
+and you can also reach out to the speakers
+using the contact information on the talk page.
+
+Other talks will have Q&A via Etherpad or IRC,
+depending on what the speakers prefer.
+This is indicated in the schedule with a dashed border
+and on the schedule page as well.
+Some talks will have the Q&A after the event,
+so you can add your questions to their Etherpad
+or ask on IRC.
+We'll e-mail the speakers afterwards
+and update the talk pages when they answer.
+The schedule pages and track pages have quick shortcuts
+so that you can find out more about talks, open the Etherpads,
+and join the Q&A sessions. The watch page has more tips
+on how to make the most of Q&A.
+If you can, please add notes and ask questions
+in the Etherpad for the talk. That makes it easier
+for everyone to share their notes,
+and speakers and hosts can read the questions from there.
+We'll copy the notes to the talk pages afterwards.
+We have one pad for each talk,
+so you can follow the links to get to the next one
+or go back to the schedule and get the link from there.
+If you have general feedback about
+the conference itself, please put it in
+pad.emacsconf.org/2025 , which is linked on each pad.
+You can also use this as a general community message board
+for things like Help Wanted.
+Internet Relay Chat or IRC can be another great way
+to be part of lots of conversations.
+You can use chat.emacsconf.org to join the IRC channels
+through your web browser. The tabs on the left can help you
+switch between the different channels.
+There's #emacsconf-gen for the General track
+and #emacsconf-dev for the Development track.
+If you need to reach us, you can join #emacsconf-org
+or e-mail emacsconf-org-private@gnu.org.
+You can use #emacsconf for hallway conversations.
+Of course, you can join any of these channels
+with your favourite IRC client.
+You can connect to irc.libera.chat
+port 6697 with TLS.
+Once again, we're going to be streaming with open captions
+for most of the talks this year, thanks to our speakers and
+captioning volunteers. The captioned talks are indicated
+on the schedule, and with any luck, we'll be posting
+transcripts on talk pages shortly after the talks start.
+If you need additional accommodations,
+please let us know in #emacsconf-org
+and we'll see if we can make things happen.
+If something goes down, we'll update status.emacsconf.org.
+If it doesn't look like we've noticed yet,
+please let us know in the #emacsconf-org IRC channel,
+where we will be quietly panicking.
+In all of these conversations, please keep in mind
+our guidelines for conduct. You can find them on the wiki,
+They basically boil down to: please be nice.
+If all goes well, the prerecorded talks and transcripts
+should be available from the talk pages
+shortly after they start playing,
+and we'll post the recordings of live talks
+and Q&A sessions within the next month or so.
+If you'd like to get an update, you can subscribe to
+the emacsconf-discuss mailing list.
+All right, let's get going.
+Leo is hosting the general track,
+and Corwin hosting the development track.
+The other volunteers and I will run around mostly backstage,
+and you'll probably meet us in the closing remarks.
+That's also where we get to thank
+all the people and organizations
+who make EmacsConf possible.
+Thanks for coming to EmacsConf 2025.

+on the schedule, and with any luck, we'll be posting
+transcripts on talk pages shortly after the talks start.
+If you need additional accommodations,
+please let us know in #emacsconf-org
+and we'll see if we can make things happen.
+If something goes down, we'll update status.emacsconf.org.
+If it doesn't look like we've noticed yet,
+please let us know in the #emacsconf-org IRC channel,
+where we will be quietly panicking.
+In all of these conversations, please keep in mind
+our guidelines for conduct. You can find them on the wiki,
+They basically boil down to: please be nice.
+If all goes well, the prerecorded talks and transcripts
+should be available from the talk pages
+shortly after they start playing,
+and we'll post the recordings of live talks
+and Q&A sessions within the next month or so.
+If you'd like to get an update, you can subscribe to
+the emacsconf-discuss mailing list.
+All right, let's get going.
+Leo Vivier is hosting the general track again today.
+The other volunteers and I will run around mostly backstage,
+and you'll probably meet us in the closing remarks.
+That's also where we get to thank
+all the people and organizations
+who make EmacsConf even possible.
+Thanks for coming to EmacsConf 2025.

+[[!meta copyright="Copyright &copy; 2019, 2020 Amin Bandali; 2021, 2022 Amin Bandali, Sacha Chua, Leo Vivier; 2023-2025 Sacha Chua"]]
+
+This page contains tips for preparing your talk. (Target date: on or before
+**October 31, 2025**) If you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions
+please feel free to write to one our organizational mailing lists: the
+public <emacsconf-org@gnu.org> list, or the private
+<emacsconf-org-private@gnu.org> list, depending on the nature of the
+matter you would like to discuss.
+
+Note: being part of a wiki, this page is subject to change (including
+by you!); so please check back every now and again for any changes and
+updates.
+
+We'll bring up the web-based upload service at some point. Let us know
+at <emacsconf-org-private@gnu.org> if you're already ready to go!
+<!--[[Already done? Upload your video and other files|upload]]-->
+
+## Guidelines for conduct
+
+Please review our [[guidelines for conduct|conduct]] when preparing your
+talk to make sure we’re all on the same page and strive to make the
+event a great experience for all. If you’re not sure whether your talk
+or presentation style meets the guidelines laid out in the guidelines
+for conduct, we’d be happy to help. You can email Sacha Chua at
+<sacha@sachachua.com> to chat more about this.
+
+## Recording your talk
+
+To help EmacsConf 2025 run smoothly, please prerecord your talk, and
+plan to upload your video(s) by **October 31, 2025** to allow us enough time
+to do any needed processing (e.g. format or codec conversion) in
+preparation for the event. Please consider submitting a prerecording as
+early as possible so that we can see if volunteers can caption your
+video to make it more accessible and searchable.
+
+To make it easier for people to orient themselves
+when listening to lots of EmacsConf videos in the
+playlist, you may want to start your video with
+something along the lines of:
+
+"Hi! I’m ${NAME} and I’ll be talking about ${TOPIC}."
+
+We'll also try to record a brief introduction for
+your talk with enough time for you to review the
+pronunciation.
+
+### Appearance
+
+The talks will be broadcast with a resolution of **1280x720px**
+(720p), so it may help to switch to that size before you record.
+Please make sure your text will be easy to read.
+[You can change the font-size in your Emacs.](https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/SetFonts#h5o-6)
+(Maybe `M-x customize-face default` and set the height to 150 or more, depending on your resolution?) If you
+are capturing a single window, you can also resize it before you
+record.
+
+We recommend using **dark text on a light background** for your
+recording, as this can be easier to see especially for people who are
+visually impaired. Themes with more contrast are easier to read than
+low-contrast ones. If you use a dark theme with your Emacs, you can
+change to a lighter one with `M-x customize-theme` (look for those
+with a `-light` suffix). The `modus-themes-load-operandi` command from
+the `modus-themes` package can be a good option.
+
+### Audio quality
+
+Audio quality can go a long way in making your talk enjoyable to
+watch. Consider the background noise in the room that you are using to
+record, and see if you can temporarily turn off things for your
+recording.
+
+You can help us try to denoise the audio by
+providing a recording of at least **5 seconds of
+quiet** in the same room in which you plan to do
+your main recording. You can listen to it to see
+how quiet things are, and figure out if there are
+other things you can turn off such as fans or
+other computers. We can try to use the noise
+profile from that recording to reduce the noise in
+your presentation.
+
+If you have an **external microphone or a
+headset**, try recording the audio through that so
+that you can reduce the sound of the computer
+itself. If you have a smartphone, that might also
+be a good way to record audio that you can then
+combine with your video afterwards.
+
+Many speakers prefer to record and edit the audio until they're happy
+with how it fits in the time, and then add the slides or videos
+afterwards. It might be easier than trying to do both the audio and
+the video in one go.
+
+### Tools
+
+You can use your favorite video recording tool. If you don't have one yet, you can try
+any of the following pieces of free software, depending on your needs:
+
+- [OBS](//obsproject.com)
+- [SimpleScreenRecorder](//www.maartenbaert.be/simplescreenrecorder/)
+- [vokoscreenNG](//linuxecke.volkoh.de/vokoscreen/vokoscreen.html)
+- [peek](//github.com/phw/peek)
+- [ffmpeg](//trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Capture/Desktop)
+
+If you decide to use OBS, please make sure to verify the window-capture
+options. Most notably, there is a “Swap red and blue” option that is
+necessary for some setups, and it's easy to miss it.
+
+You might find the following free software programs useful for editing
+your video recordings:
+
+- [Kdenlive](//kdenlive.org/en/)
+- [Blender](//www.blender.org)
+- [Pitivi](http://www.pitivi.org)
+
+Per GNU Project’s [Guide to
+Formats](//audio-video.gnu.org/docs/formatguide.html), we prefer to
+receive prerecorded videos in formats unencumbered by software patents,
+such as `video/webm` ([WebM](https://www.webmproject.org/)-encoded video
+files, with `.webm` file extension) and `video/ogg` (video files encoded
+with the Theora video codec, encapsulated in an Ogg transport layer,
+with `.ogg` or `.ogv` file extension). However, if for one reason or
+another you are unable to send us your prerecorded video in one of the
+above formats, you may submit them in other common formats, like MPEG-4
+(`.mp4`), and we will convert them to our preferred formats on your
+behalf.
+
+*Prepare recorded video in 720p (1280px by 720px) or higher, in the
+WebM format if possible.*
+
+
+# Compression
+
+If you would like to compress your video before uploading, the following shell script may be useful:
+
+ Q=32
+ CPU=8
+ ffmpeg -y -i "$1" -c:v libvpx-vp9 -b:v 0 -crf $Q -an -row-mt 1 -tile-columns 2 -tile-rows 2 -cpu-used $CPU -g 240 -pass 1 -f webm -threads $CPU /dev/null &&
+ ffmpeg -y -i "$1" -c:v libvpx-vp9 -b:v 0 -crf $Q -c:a libopus -row-mt 1 -tile-columns 2 -tile-rows 2 -cpu-used $CPU -pass 2 -g 240 -threads $CPU "$2"
+
+If you put it in a file called `compress-video.sh`, you can execute it
+from the command line with something like `sh compress-video.sh
+input-file.webm output-file.webm`. It will compress the file in two
+passes. During the first pass, the frame count will increase, but the
+speed will be 0. After the first pass, it will display proper progress
+information.

+# Tech-check
+
+We ask that speakers who plan to participate in live Q&A sessions schedule
+a short tech-check in the weeks leading to the conference; this is to ensure
+that you can perform all the common tasks you’d need such as sharing your
+screen or toggling your microphone.
+
+We use BigBlueButton for our video-conferencing
+needs, and we'll send you a URL to your own
+BigBlueButton room close to the conference. Tiling
+window managers and multi-monitor setups can be a
+little tricky, so it's good to figure out a setup
+that works for you. If there are things you'd like
+to confirm by having another person in the
+meeting, such as audio quality, please feel free
+to get in touch with us and we’ll sort things out
+together.
+
+Thank you so much for helping with EmacsConf 2025!
+
+# Frequently-asked questions
+
+## Can I present live?
+
+We’d prefer that all talks have prerecorded
+videos.
+
+- It's a lot less stressful for both
+presenters and organizers.
+- Videos can be immediately available for playback once your session starts.
+- We can work on getting the video captioned for better accessibility.
+
+If you really need or want to present live,
+though, let us know and we'll figure that out.
+
+There will also be time for live questions and
+answers, so if you can record a short video
+covering your main points, you might be able to go
+into more detail in live Q&A.
+
+## My presentation is over/under the time I proposed. Do I need to stress out about it?
+
+No need to stress out about it. If it's a little
+over or under, we'll adjust the Q&A accordingly.
+
+If you find that your talk is much shorter than
+anticipated, let us know and we can adjust the
+schedule.
+
+If there's so much you want to talk about and you
+can't decide what to squeeze in, maybe you can
+think of your video as a short teaser that can get
+people interested and point them to where they can
+find out more. You can email
+<emacsconf-submit@gnu.org> links and other notes
+to add to the wiki page for your talk. If you’d
+like to record a longer video *in addition* to the
+short one for the main conference, please feel
+free to send us that too.
+
+Additionally, even though it is tempting, please refrain from speaking
+super quickly or fast-forwarding your recording to make it fit within
+the format. Trimming out the silences and the filler words can help
+sometimes, but a better solution for you might be to condense your
+talk to the essentials, then write, record, and edit your voice-over.
+Once you've figured out how to use the time, you can record your video
+to go along with it. Don't sweat being a few minutes over or under,
+that's cool.
+
+Feel free to send some questions for the host to ask you during the
+Q&A so that you can address extra points that didn't make it into the
+video.
+
+## What if there are lots of great questions during Q&A and it's already time for the next talk?
+
+The stream will move on to the next talk, but people can join the
+BigBlueButton meeting room and keep chatting with you for as long as
+you want to keep going. You can also continue answering questions on
+the collaborative pad or IRC, and we’ll copy questions and answers
+onto the wiki page afterwards so that you can answer them in your own
+time after the event.
+
+## Do I need to follow some visual guidelines for the presentation?
+
+- Dark text on a light background is more legible than the opposite
+ (especially for people who are visually impaired), and more contrast
+ is better than a low-contrast theme. This stands for both your
+ slides and your Emacs theme.
+- If you think your fonts might be too small in your slides or in Emacs,
+ they might very well be. [You can change the font-size in your
+ Emacs](https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/SetFonts#h5o-6), but you can
+ also play with the size of the captured window during your recording.
+- Try to minimize the screen-flashes that occur when you switch between
+ windows, especially if their themes do not cohere (light-to-dark and
+ the reverse). If you can edit your recording, fades and other
+ transitions are a neat solution to this problem.
+
+## How do I show my keystrokes on screen?
+
+In Emacs, you can use
+[interaction-log.el](https://github.com/michael-heerdegen/interaction-log.el)
+(in MELPA) to display the keystrokes and the commands they run in a separate
+buffer. For a system-wide solution, you can look into
+[screenkey](https://gitlab.com/screenkey/screenkey).
+
+## I’m not used to talking to myself. Can I present the talk to someone?
+
+We might be able to help you record your talk using the BigBlueButton
+web conferencing system before the conference. Please email
+<emacsconf-submit@gnu.org> with some times that might work for you and
+we’ll see if a volunteer can meet up with you to record it.
+
+## Can I see the other proposed talks?
+
+Once we’ve emailed the speakers about their acceptance, we’ll put
+up the talk wiki pages. That way, you can see what else is going on
+in the conference and maybe coordinate with other speakers in order to
+minimize overlap and maximize awesomeness.
+
+## Do you have an Org TODO I can just copy into my agenda file?
+
+Sure, modify this as needed:
+
+```
+* TODO Record presentation for EmacsConf: Title goes here
+DEADLINE: <2025-10-31 Fri>
+

+# An enhanced bibliography in org-mode for scientific research and self-directed learning
+Blaine Mooers (he, him) - blaine-mooers@ouhsc.edu, <mailto:blaine-mooers@ouhsc.edu>
+
+[[!inline pages="internal(2025/info/bibliography-before)" raw="yes"]]
+
+This 20-minute talk introduces a modernized approach to creating annotated bibliographies using Org-mode.
+This new approach overcomes the limitations of traditional BibTeX-based methods.
+Unlike classical annotated bibliographies, this system supports rich content including text-wrapped figures, tables, code listings, equations, and appendices.
+These features transform static reference collections into visual knowledge repositories.
+
+The presentation will demonstrate how this system leverages Org-mode's unique capabilities, particularly literate programming, to enable real-time data transformation and visualization from cited papers.
+I introduce a modular architecture to overcome BibTeX's whitespace limitations in the annotation field, which stores notes for assembling annotated bibliographies in the classical approach.
+
+Key features of the new approach include:
+
+- A modular design that supports the reuse of annotation files between bibliographies and with literature notes in org-roam and denote
+- Support for including figures, tables, equations, code listings, and literature programming blocks
+- Citation key injection into subsection headings
+- Automated PDF downloading, relabeling, and storing
+- Property drawers for keywords, links to annotation note files to ease making further edits, and links to PDF documents
+- Specialized sorting function for bibliography organization (by author, year, or keywords)
+- Inclusion of a table of contents with hyperlinks
+- Specialized glossaries for acronyms, software packages, equations, and mathematical notation
+
+I will address how this approach complements, rather than replaces, modern personal knowledge management systems like org-roam and denote.
+This approach strengthens project-focused knowledge organization.
+I will discuss the practical benefits, including improved visual memory reinforcement through embedded figures and reduced context switching during in-depth academic work.
+
+I will share the implementation details of the Emacs Lisp functions that power this system (available as a package).
+The presentation will include demonstrations of how these functions streamline everyday tasks such as adding new entries, navigating between bibliography and source material, and preparing project-specific BibTeX files.
+These functions reduce the friction in the academic reading and writing workflow.
+
+For those interested in adopting this approach, I will discuss adaptations for various workflows and address practical considerations, such as copyright implications when sharing illustrated bibliographies.
+The talk will conclude with thoughts on how this system supports different reading styles (reference, survey, and deep reading) as identified by Stephen Heard in his 2022 book "A Scientist's Guide to Writing".
+This approach is particularly valuable for researchers, graduate students, and knowledge workers who need to maintain project-specific literature collections.
+The approach recognizes the reality that most scientists do not need access to their entire knowledge corpus when working on a specific paper.
+Instead, they need a visually reinforced understanding of a targeted subset of the literature.
+
+The format is a 20-minute talk presented as a narrated slideshow. The outline follows:
+
+- The role of the annotated bibliography in my three-pronged approach to scientific writing project management, which I introduced last year in my talk about writing logs.
+- My innovative use of a modular approach, along with numerous enhancements, promotes deep work.
+- Why make an annotated bibliography in the Age of Zettelkastens and Generative AI?
+- Why not assemble a notebook instead?
+- The classic annotated bibliography and its deficits (i.e., why I developed the enhanced bibliography).
+- The advantages of Org-mode for making this annotated bibliography.
+- Defining the scope of the enhanced bibliography: research program level versus writing project-specific.
+- Tour of the master org file that controls the assembly of the final PDF.
+- Project file tree and version control with helper functions.
+- The annotation file and accommodation of three levels of detail for reference, survey, and deep reading.
+- Demonstrations of creating an entry by wrapping a citar, org-ref, and org-cite citekeys.
+- Show how to use literature programming to carry out further analyses using data from a specific paper.
+- Show integration with Zettelkasten by including annotation org files in literature notes.
+- Feeding annotation files into generative AI for help with querying, brainstorming, planning, and synthesis.
+- How does working on an annotated bibliography fit into my weekly writing schedule?
+- Tour of the GitHub repository for this project.
+- Copyright of figures and limits on sharing the enhanced bibliography in public.
+- Summary
+- Acknowledgements

+
+I describe my experience in "getting rid" of company-mode and
+transitioning to corfu. I now have yasnippets integrated with
+a couple lines Emacs Lisp. The main advantage is that with I

+
+About the speaker:
+
+After 30 years using Emacs, professionally and for my PhD, I'm currenly
+quite involved in org-mode, where I'm revamping the LaTeX backend.
+To do this, I needed a new approach to auto-completion because

+# Juicemacs: Exploring Speculative JIT Compilation for ELisp in Java
+Kana (they/them) - IRC: kanakana, Blog: https://kyo.iroiro.party - ActivityPub: @kana@f.iroiro.party - Bluesky: @kana.iroiro.party, <mailto:kana@iroiro.party>
+
+[[!inline pages="internal(2025/info/juicemacs-before)" raw="yes"]]
+
+Just-in-time (JIT) compilation helps dynamic languages run fast, and
+speculative compilation makes them run faster, as has been showcased
+by JVMs, LuaJIT, JavaScript engines, and many more JIT runtimes.
+However, Emacs native-compilation, despite its JIT compilation
+(`native-comp-jit-compilation`), does not speculate about runtime
+execution, making it effectively a JIT-ish AOT (ahead-of-time)
+compiler. By introducing a speculative runtime for ELisp, we could
+potentially improve ELisp performance even further, with many new
+optimization opportunities.
+
+Juicemacs <sup><a id="fnr.juicemacs" class="footref" href="#fn.juicemacs" role="doc-backlink">1</a></sup> is my work-in-progress toy project
+re-implementing Emacs in Java. At its centre sits an ELisp JIT
+runtime powered by Graal Truffle, a JIT interpreter framework based
+on partial evaluation and Futamura projections. This talk will cover
+the following along with some demonstrations:
+
+- What is Juicemacs and its ambition? How compatible is it (or does
+ it plan to be) with GNU Emacs and how feature-complete is it now?
+
+- What is speculative compilation? How is it useful for an ELisp JIT
+ runtime?
+
+- What is Truffle and partial evaluation? What is needed if we are to
+ implement a speculative runtime in C without Truffle?
+
+- How many interpreters are there in Emacs? How does Juicemacs
+ implement them?
+
+- What JIT techniques does Juicemacs plan to explore? How can you
+ get involved?
+
+
+# Footnotes

+- Intro: Juicemacs
+ - Self-introduction
+ - Emacs `native-compile` versus modern JIT compilers
+ - Juicemacs: Yet another Emacs rewrite
+ - Demonstration: REPL, pbootstrap, pdump, elprop, ERT
+- Speculative compilation

+ - Tired: JIT versus AOT

+
+About the speaker:
+
+Hello! This is Kana, an Emacs hobbyist and Java lover from China. A
+few years ago I discovered the Truffle JIT compilation framework and
+have since hoped to implement a JIT runtime myself. Last year I
+finally started implementing one for ELisp, called Juicemacs, and
+have made some progress. In this talk I will share what I've learned
+during the journey, including how three interpreters out of four (or
+more?) in Emacs are implemented in Juicemacs and how speculative
+compilation can make some optimizations possible.

+# Interactive Python development in Emacs
+David Vujic (he/him) - Mastodon https://mastodon.nu/@davidvujic
+
+[[!inline pages="internal(2025/info/python-before)" raw="yes"]]
+
+Learning Lisp was an eye opener for me. The Interactive way of writing code is Amazing. Emacs has great support for this in general already. For Python, there's limitations and I have looked for ways to make Python development more interactive (and fun). Python is what I do at work and in Open Source projects. It has lead me to develop Emacs features specific for Python: evaluating code with visual feedback, modify a running Python app without restarts, and some LLM support. I will demo and talk about what I have developed to make Python development interactive and joyful.
+
+About the speaker:
+
+My name is David and I'm a software developer. Colleagues and friends may know me as an early adopter of agile ideas and test driven development. I am passionate about things like that, and share the things I learn to the community and the people I work with. My favorite programming languages are Python and Clojure. On my spare time I practice outdoor Parkour & contribute to Open Source.
