+Hi everyone!
+
+Here's what's been happening backstage.
+
+- Speakers have been submitting their videos, hooray! I added a
+ schedule to the backstage page at
+ <https://media.emacsconf.org/2022/backstage/> so that people can see
+ how the schedule's coming along. We expect more talks to come in the
+ next two weeks. Not panicking yet. =)
+
+- Thanks to all the people who've been working on captions so far!
+ Bhavin, Andrea, and Ramin did the captions for their talks, and Jai
+ captioned Bala's talk. Tom, Bhavin, and Hannah are currently working
+ on captions. There are three more talks backstage if anyone wants to
+ work on them.
+
+- I just posted some notes on how I reflow and edit subtitles in case
+ they're helpful:
+ <https://media.emacsconf.org/2022/backstage/editing-captions.html>
+ It's also linked from the backstage page under More info: editing
+ captions.
+
+- We added the Emacs development updates talk from John Wiegley and
+ updated the times of other talks based on messages from the
+ speakers.
+
+- We did a dry run of the OBS streaming setup with Leo, Amin, and
+ Corwin. I think we're on track to being able to broadcast two
+ streams this year.
+
+- IRC announcements, BBB redirection, and media file publishing can
+ now all automatically happen when the talk status changes,
+ simplifying our work during the conference. Video playback and Q&A
+ browser windows can happen automatically if streaming from
+ res.emacsconf.org. I want to get the publishing workflow all
+ smoothed out too, so that talks and transcripts can be more easily
+ published to the wiki pages during the conference.
+
+Plans for this week:
+
+- More videos and captions!
+- I plan to work on talk page publishing so that it happens smoothly during the conference
+- Leo's going to review the videos submitted so far and prepare intros for them
+- Might be a good idea to reach out to speakers for tech checks and bios
+
+EmacsConf is a little less than four weeks away. Stuff is happening!
+
+Sacha
