Here's how you can make it even better! + +# Tech checks + +Many sessions will have live question and answer sessions via Big Blue +Button, and everything works more smoothly when the speakers are all +set up and ready to go: their audio works, their screen can be shared +properly, and so on. You can help by testing their setup beforehand. + +You can test your own connection at <https://test.bigbluebutton.org> +. If that works for you, you can be a tech check volunteer. Let us +know what your availability is and we can match you up with speakers +who want to doublecheck their setup before the conference. + +Here are some notes on the tech check process: + +- Can you hear me? Can I hear you? +- Explain process +- Test audio, webcam, screensharing, collaborative pad + - Music demos and other things that use system audio will need to be + prerecorded (or done through virtual loopback device, maybe? + Technical risk.) + - Multi-monitor setups might not be handled well by BBB; share + window instead of desktop + - Possible picture-in-picture approach to maximize screen real estate if needed + - Linux: share desktop, run cheese, set Always on Top +- Check if comfortable checking into IRC: #emacsconf-org +- Ask about Q&A preference; OR: + - live Q&A + - Q&A over pad or IRC + - no Q&A +- Get IRC nick and phone number for emergency contact, store in private wiki +- Write down name pronunciation and pronouns for inclusion in the public wiki +- Encourage webcam for Q&A, although make it clear that it's totally optional + +# Alternate streams + +Do you have a pretty good network connection and a computer capable of +livestreaming? Consider becoming an alternate streamer! You can pick +one or more of your favorite sessions from the [[schedule]] and get +set up for doing an extended stream, allowing more time for Q&A and +live demonstrations. + +# Captions + +Want to help make videos easier for people to enjoy during the +conference, or find and learn from afterwards? Please volunteer to +help caption recorded talks! You'll get a sneak preview of a talk, +and possibly auto-generated captions that you can use as a starting +point.
