-
-Thank you so much for being part of EmacsConf ${conf-year}! Hundreds of people
-enjoyed it, and I'm sure even more will come across the videos in the
-days to follow.
-
-Your prerecorded video is available on the talk page at ${url} , and
-we've added the questions and comments that we've collected from
-IRC/BBB/Etherpad. The recording of your Q&A session is also on the
-talk page.
-
-We've also uploaded your talk video to ToobNix (a PeerTube instance)
-at ${toobnix-url} and YouTube at ${youtube-url} . If you
-want to reupload the video to your own channel, feel free to do
-so. You can add the subtitles by downloading them from the talk page
-and uploading them to your video. If you let me know where you've
-uploaded it, I can switch our playlist to include your version of the
-video instead. That way, it might be easier for you to respond to
-questions on videos. (Which some people have already been adding,
-yay!)
-
-If you would like to share more resources, you can add them to the
-talk page or e-mail them to us and we can add them for you.
-
-Thanks again for speaking at EmacsConf!

-[[https://emacsconf.org/2021/][EmacsConf 2021]] will be a virtual conference on *November 27 and 28,
-2021 (Sat-Sun)*. If you'd like to present at the conference, please
-[[https://emacsconf.org/2021/cfp/][submit your proposal]] by *September 30, 2021*.
-
-EmacsConf 2021 is about the joy of [[https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/][Emacs]] and Emacs Lisp. Come share
-your experiments and adventures with the Emacs text editor / operating
-system / way of life! We welcome speakers of *all backgrounds* and
-*all levels of experience*, including newcomers giving their first
-talk. What have you found exciting about Emacs lately? What do you
-wish someone had told you when you were starting out? What part of
-your workflow might inspire someone to get into Emacs or go deeper?
-
-A great way to get started with writing a proposal is to start by
-exploring the programs from previous years: [[https://emacsconf.org/2020/schedule/][2020]], [[https://emacsconf.org/2019/schedule/][2019]], [[https://emacsconf.org/2015/schedule/][2015]], [[https://emacsconf.org/2013/#program][2013]].
-You might also find some neat ideas on the [[https://emacsconf.org/2021/ideas/][ideas]] page. Feel free to
-add yours there too! If you're still not sure, come by our IRC
-channel =#emacsconf= on =irc.libera.chat= and say hi. You can join
-the chat using [[ircs://irc.libera.chat:6697/emacsconf][your favourite IRC client]], or by visiting
-[[https://chat.emacsconf.org][chat.emacsconf.org]] in your web browser.
-
-All kinds of people use Emacs for all kinds of things. We'd love it
-if EmacsConf 2021 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 expert enough to share their thoughts. If you
-let them know that you value their knowledge and maybe even suggest
-something that you think others would like to hear more about, they
-may realize that they have something worth sharing and that we would
-love to hear from them.
-
-,* Important dates
-
-For EmacsConf 2021, we are planning for 9am to 5pm Toronto/EST
-(2pm-10pm UTC) on November 27 and 28. Depending on people's
-availability, it might be two half-days.
-
-| CFP opens | August 5, 2021 |
-| CFP closes | September 30, 2021 |
-| Speaker notifications | October 15, 2021 |
-| Schedule published | October 31, 2021 |
-| EmacsConf 2021! | November 27 and 28, 2021 |
-
-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 regional events (if
-you're an Emacs meetup organizer and would like to make this happen
-let's [[https://emacsconf.org/contact/][get in touch]]!).
-
-Please note that although we will try our best to stick to the above
-dates in the coming months, given the current state of the world, we
-may have to move things around a bit in case of unforeseen events.
-Thank you for your patience and understanding.
-
-,* Talk formats
-
-We'd like EmacsConf 2021 to inspire lots of different people to
-explore lots of different things in Emacs. We hope to put together a
-stream of quick ideas followed by lots of conversation over IRC and/or
-Q&A sessions, with occasional deep dives into topics that many people
-might find interesting or useful.
-
-As you think about your talk, consider what you can share in:
-
-- *Up to 10 minutes total:* What is the core idea? What do you want
- people to do or remember? You can show just enough to get people
- interested and then point them to where they can learn more
- afterwards. You can answer questions over IRC, the pad, or the
- wiki, and there's no limit to how long that conversation can go.
-
-- *Up to 20 minutes total:* How would you flesh out some of the points
- from your 5-10 minute presentation? How can you show the pieces
- working together?
-
-- *Up to 40 minutes total:* What would benefit from a deep dive?
- How do you keep it engaging?
-
-When writing your proposal, please write an outline of what you plan
-to talk about if you have 5-10 minutes. If you'd like to propose a
-longer talk, outline what you might include if you had more time to
-present (up to 40 minutes, including Q&A).
-
-Here's an example for a potentially 40-minute talk:
-
-- 5-10 minutes: quick demo of the abc package working together with
- xyz package.
-- 20 minutes: same as above, with some customization options to
- accommodate a different workflow.
-- 40 minutes: all of the above, including modifying the behaviour of
- the package in order to add something new.
-
-This flexibility would help us in devising the conference schedule so
-that as many people as possible could get a chance to present their
-ideas, while still allowing for featuring longer deep dive talks.
-
-Other session formats such as tutorials, workshops, and hangouts are
-welcome as well, in case you would find those other formats preferable
-to a traditional talk format. If you're interested in these or other
-session types, please let us know [[https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacsconf-org][publicly]] or [[https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacsconf-org-private][privately]]. We'll be
-happy to work something out with you.
-
-,* Office hours
-
-We're aware that it can be intimidating to submit a proposal to a
-conference, so we thought we'd try to help! This year, we're opening
-up the doors of our virtual offices for you to come talk to us about
-your proposals with hopes of helping you with any hurdles you may be
-facing with preparing your proposal.
-
-We'd like to publish a schedule of availabilities of volunteers for
-holding office hours. Currently these volunteers consist of some of
-the EmacsConf organizers, but we'd love to have the help of other
-members of the Emacs community as well. If you are a more experienced
-Emacs user and would like to help with this, please [[https://emacsconf.org/contact/][get in touch]]!
-
-Our first office hour this year is planned for Saturday, August 14,
-from 3pm to 4pm UTC with zaeph (Leo Vivier) at the following
-BigBlueButton room: https://bbb.emacsverse.org/b/ban-qye-fd1-5kw.
-
-,* Submitting your proposal
-
-Once you're ready to submit your proposal, the [[https://emacsconf.org/2021/submit/][submit]] page has the
-instructions on how to submit your talk.
-
-We use an anonymized submission process to reduce bias and encourage
-contribution. Identifying information will be removed from
-submissions by a conference organizer who will not participate in
-talk selection. The anonymized submissions will then be reviewed by
-a selection committee.
-
-If your talk is approved, we'd love it if you could help us make sure
-the conference runs smoothly. After we email you with the time
-allotted for your talk, we'll ask you to
-
-- prepare a prerecording of your talk, or record it with our help if
- that'd be easier for you; and
-- schedule a short tech-check if you'd like to be able to answer
- questions in a live session.
-
-Don't forget to subscribe to our main mailing list, [[https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacsconf-discuss][emacsconf-discuss]],
-for discussion and announcements about the EmacsConf conference.
-
-We look forward to your ideas and submissions!
-
-,* Getting involved
-
-If you would like to help with the conference (planning the sessions,
-reviewing proposals, helping with infrastructure, making sessions more
-accessible, editing video transcripts, etc.), see our [[https://emacsconf.org/2021/planning/][planning]] page
-and come say hi to us at =#emacsconf= on =irc.libera.chat=.
-
-In addition to the [[https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacsconf-discuss][emacsconf-discuss]] list, feel free to subscribe to
-[[https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacsconf-org][emacsconf-org]] as well, for discussions related to organizing the
-conference by the EmacsConf organizers and volunteers.
-
-We'd really appreciate your help in making EmacsConf 2021 the best one
-so far!
-
-,* Commitment to freedom
-
-We remain fully committed to freedom, and we will continue
-using our infrastructure and streaming setup consisting entirely
-of [[https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html][free software]], much like previous EmacsConf conferences.
-An article describing our infrastructure and tools is underway,
-and will be announced on the emacsconf-discuss list when published.

-As of the time of writing this document (Org mode version 9.3.7), the

-
-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.

-
-Best,
-amin
-
-P.S. please direct any replies to this post either to myself or to the
-emacsconf-discuss list, so as to help avoid generating extra off-topic
-chatter in the other lists cc'd in this message.
-
-P.P.S. as a volunteer-run conference, we are always looking for new
-fellow volunteers and/or organizers to help with various aspects of
-organizing and running the conference, including reviewing proposal
-submissions. If you're interested in getting involved, please come by
-our IRC channel or one of our public mailing lists (info below), or
-any of the current organizers directly and say hi. We look forward to
-hearing from you!

-*** E-mail text
-Dear ${name},
-
-We would love to have your talk "${title}" as part of EmacsConf
-${conf-year}, and we've allocated ${duration} minutes for
-it. ${time-note}
-
-Your talk is tentatively scheduled for ${schedule}. The times may
-move around a bit as we update the schedule, so we'll check in with
-you if things change a lot. We've scheduled a few minutes for live
-questions and answers via web conference. Will you be available
-around this time? If there are more questions, you can also continue
-over Etherpad/IRC.
-
-Please plan to prerecord your ${duration}-minute talk(s) by ${deadline}
-at the latest. If you can, please send it in as early as possible.
-Submitting your video early lets us ask volunteers to help caption the
-video, making your talk more accessible and searchable.
-
-Please see https://emacsconf.org/${conf-year}/prepare/ for tips and
-instructions on preparing, recording, and sending in your talk. If
-you have any questions or concerns, please let us know.
-
-Thanks,

-*** Captions prepared
-Because you sent in your video early, we were able to caption it so
-that more people can find and enjoy your talk. I've attached the
-caption text file in case you want to review it, suggest any
-corrections, or use the text in a blog post or elsewhere. Thanks again
-for your contribution!
-*** Captions pending
-Just a quick note to let you know that I've downloaded your submission for "${title}".
-
-Now we have the following files starting with ${video-slug}:
-${details}
-
-A quick check shows that it's about ${video-duration} minutes long.
-
-We'll be working on captioning it over the next few weeks. We'll e-mail
-again a little closer to the conference with schedule updates and other
-useful information. If you want to upload a new version, you can upload
-it the same way you did the previous one.
-
-Please feel free to e-mail us at emacsconf-submit@gnu.org if you need
-help updating the talk wiki page at
-${url} or if you have other questions.

-Thank you so much for all the work you put into preparing a talk for

-** Help speakers with tech checks
-:PROPERTIES:

-:END:
-- 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
-- Check if comfortable checking into IRC: chat.emacsconf.org/?join=emacsconf,emacsconf-org
-- Get IRC nick, phone number for emergency contact, store in private wiki
-- Try to record name pronunciation
-- Encourage webcam for Q&A, although make it clear that it's totally optional
-- Possible picture-in-picture approach to maximize screen real estate

-:END:
-
-I think we haven't heard from you since we accepted your EmacsConf 2021
-proposal for "${title}" in early October.
-EmacsConf is in less than two weeks, so I wanted to check in with you to
-see how you're doing.
-
-Could you please e-mail us to let us know if you're still working on
-your prerecorded video, if you're planning to present live, or if you
-can't make it this year? I know it's a strange time for everyone, so
-no worries if other priorities have come up and you don't have the
-time for a presentation.
-
-If you've been having technical issues recording your presentation on
-your computer, one of our volunteers could set up a BigBlueButton web
-conference with you to record the presentation. You can find a list of
-volunteers and their availability at
-https://emacsconf.org/2021/prepare/#tech-check . It takes a little time
-to get the recording out of BBB, so please plan to record your
-presentation before Tuesday, November 23.
-
-If you plan to present live, please go through the self-check at
-<https://test.bigbluebutton.org/> . Some speakers have encountered
-technical issues with BigBlueButton that they didn't have with Zoom or
-Google Meet, so this is something we definitely want to look into
-earlier rather than later. If that works for you, please e-mail us
-back so that I can keep your timeslot. The tentative schedule for your
-talk is on the talk page at ${url} .
-
-*Please e-mail us your plans before ${deadline}.* I'm
-planning to shift the schedule around to give more time to confirmed
-speakers for Q&A and possibly live demos. If I don't hear from you by
-then (maybe an over-enthusiastic spam filter has been swallowing up
-all our mail?), I'll probably reallocate the 10 minutes that had
-been set aside for your talk. We might be able to squeeze it back in
-afterwards or play a video from you at the end of the conference day,
-but it would be nice to get the schedule sorted out instead of
-scrambling to fill gaps on the day of the conference.
-
-Hope to hear from you by ${deadline}!

-Dear Emacsian friends,
-
-This is it, the final stretch until EmacsConf 2021, coming up on
-November 27 and 28 less than a week from now! A few weeks ago,
-we excitedly shared the EmacsConf 201 program with you. We're now
-happy to share the conference schedule with you, i.e. the program
-plus each talk's (approximate) scheduled time slot:
-
- https://emacsconf.org/2021/schedule
-
-All of the times listed on the schedule are in EST (UTC-5). You can
-click on each talk's title to open its page for more information,
-including its scheduled time in your local time (displaying local time
-requires running a tiny bit of AGPLv3+-licensed free/libre JavaScript
-code, included on the talk pages). For prerecorded talks, this time
-is also when the talk's video will be made available on the same page.
-Please note the '~' tildes near the times, indicating that they are
-approximations and not meant to be taken as exact times.
-
-On November 27 and 28 you will be able to watch the livestreams via
-https://live.emacsconf.org, which also has details on how to watch the
-streams using media players that support streaming (like mpv and VLC).
-Also, for Asia-Pacific folks, there will be an alternate stream by
-LibreAustralia, at 11:00-17:30 UTC+11 on Sunday, November 28. Please
-see the https://libreau.org/upcoming.html#emacsconf21 page on their
-site for more details and how to tune into the alternate stream.
-
-Last but not least, please see the https://emacsconf.org/2021 page
-of the EmacsConf wiki for more details on watching and participating
-in the conference.
-
-We hope to see you all around on November 27-28 for EmacsConf 2021!

-:CUSTOM_ID: follow-up-prerecs
-:END:
-
-EmacsConf is in a few days and I don't think we have your prerecorded
-video yet, so I'm getting miiiildly stressed about the schedule. And
-you're probably stressing out about it too, so let's go figure out how
-we can make this work.
-
-Option A: If you happen to have the prerecording or can get it done by
-tomorrow, we can probably squeeze it in. Please upload it to
-ftp-upload.emacsconf.org by following the instructions in
-https://emacsconf.org/2021/prepare#ftp-upload , or send us a link using
-your favourite file-sharing service (especially if FTP is giving you
-problems).
-
-Option B: If you want to present live, it might be an option. I'm a little
-worried about the potential for technical issues, since we've had
-problems with that in previous EmacsConfs. The tight schedule means
-there's not a lot of time to figure things out, and it can be hard to
-make something as focused as a prerecorded video when you're doing it
-live. We will definitely want to make sure that:
- - your self-serve tech check works: https://test.bigbluebutton.org
- at your convenience;
- - we have your emergency contact information in case of frozen
- Internet connection, etc. Please e-mail us the phone number we can
- use to call you. We promise to use it only for EmacsConf 2021
- emergency coordination; and
- - you check in as early as possible (at least 1 hour before, so we
- know if the speaker before you needs to extend) and let us know
- that you want to do it live https://emacsconf.org/2021/speakers .
- We keep adapting the schedule as things come up, so please check
- https://emacsconf.org/2021/schedule/ on the day of the conference.
-
-If there are technical issues or your talk runs a little over time, we
-might have to stop streaming it on the main stream when it's time for
-the next talk. We may be able to continue streaming it on the
-alternate stream. If so, people can continue watching it there if they
-wish to.
-
-Option C: If you can't make it, that's okay. Life gets crazy
-sometimes. Please let us know and we can update the wiki. If you
-happen to be able to make a prerecorded video afterwards, we can add
-that to the wiki, playlists, and announcements. We hope you can join
-us next year.
-
-Since EmacsConf is *this weekend* (aaaaaaah), please let us know by
-tomorrow noon EST (Friday; 9AM PST, 5PM GMT, 6PM CET) so that we can
-keep the time allocated for you in the schedule. If we don't hear from
-you, we'll probably reallocate the ${duration} minutes reserved for you so
-that other talks can have longer Q&A. If you can still make it, check
-in early and let us know so that we can try to work out an alternate
-stream for you. Hope to hear from you soon!

-Thank you so much for sending in your prerecording. We were able to
-caption most of the talks, yay! That will help more people appreciate
-the talks, and it'll make it easier for people to look up technical
-terms too. The talks will be streamed with open captions, and the talk
-pages will have the videos with closed captions when they're streamed.

---- Presenting live? ---
-
-If you really, really, really want to present live, we can keep the
-prerecorded talk as a backup plan. I'm a little worried about the
-potential for technical issues, since we've had problems with that in
-previous EmacsConfs. The tight schedule means there's not a lot of
-time to figure things out, and it can be hard to make something as
-focused as a prerecorded video when you're doing it live. If you want
-to present live, we will definitely want to make sure that:

- - you check in as early as possible (at least 30 minutes before) and
- let us know that you want to do it live
- https://emacsconf.org/2021/speakers
-Going with the prerecorded video is probably the least-stress option
-for everyone, but we wanted to offer you the option to go live just in case.

-You can probably then use =pavucontrol= (choose All Streams instead of
-Applications on the Playback tab) or something like the following to
-redirect the mpv output to the mpv sink.

-#+begin_src sh :eval no
-pacmd list-sink-inputs # notice the ID for the process you want to redirect
-pacmd move-sink-input 1 mpv

-** Check for video encoding issues

-Sometimes the compression may get cut off. You can use
-=compile-media-verify-video-frames= from
-https://github.com/sachac/compile-media to check that videos have
-enough frames for their expected duration
