For longer talks, please + try to be in the channel at least 15 minutes in advance for tech + checks and coordination, and try to keep your presentation to about + 30 minutes including time for questions. When it’s time for + lightning talks, we’ll check the IRC channel to see who has done a + tech check and is ready to present. Please keep lightning talks to + 5-10 minutes (ideally closer to 5). If there are technical issues + or if there’s extra space between sessions, we might play + prerecorded lightning talks while sorting things out, prioritizing + those where the speaker can answer questions in the #emacsconf + channel on irc.freenode.net. We’ll try as much as possible to stick + with the schedule for the longer talks, so if there’s not enough + time for the lightning talks in between, we may have to bump some + presentations to the end of the day. We’ll play the remaining + prerecorded talks after the last live presentation. If your + lightning talk gets bumped to the end and you won’t be available to + answer questions, that’s okay—we will keep an eye on the channel and + email you afterwards. + +- Please use your favourite IRC client to join `#emacsconf-org` on + `irc.freenode.net` on the day of the conference. Alternatively, you + may follow the [[quick ERC setup|tips#erc]] tip on the [[tips]] page + or use [the + webchat](https://irc0d.libreplanet.org/irc/irc.freenode.net/?nick=yourNAMEhere&#emacsconf-org) + in your web browser. Please consider choosing a nickname that + includes your name or the pseudonym you submitted your talk under, + to help us recognize you. `#emacsconf-org` should be a low-traffic + channel for coordination between organizers and speakers. Check in + with Sacha (`sachac`) and/or Amin (`bandali`) by saying hi, and + mentioning your name/talk if it’s not obvious from your nick. Sacha + (or the backup organizer) will coordinate with you for a tech check + before you speak, and will give you the go-ahead to join a Jitsi + Meet session for the main presentation. The Jitsi Meet session + addresses will look something like + `https://meet.jit.si/emacsconf-name`, where `name` will be replaced + with your first or last name, or the pseudonym you used when + submitting your talk. If for one reason or another a Jitsi Meet + room is faulty/buggy, we’ll try adding (and incrementing, if needed) + a numeric suffix, like `https://meet.jit.si/emacsconf-name2`, + `https://meet.jit.si/emacsconf-name3`, and so on as needed. Sacha + will confirm this with you. + +- You can also join `#emacsconf` if you’d like to keep an eye on the + conversations, or `#emacsconf-questions` for a more moderated view + focused on questions from audience. + +- Please wear earphones or headphones to minimize microphone feedback. + +- Please keep an eye on time and your presentation’s length. Amin (or + the main organizer, in charge of running the stream and in video + call with you during your talk) will try to politely clear their + throat if you’re going over time. + +- Some of our attendees are blind, so please try to verbally describe + what you’re showing on the screen. We are also asking volunteers to + describe what’s going on in each talk in the `#emacsconf-accessible` + channel. Additionally, we would be very grateful if you could add a + transcription for your talk(s) to our [[transcripts]] page for + EmacsConf 2019. + +- We have set up a status page at where + you can monitor the status of various parts of our infrastructure + for any possible disruptions. We will add to that page information + on who to contact if you notice a problem or experience disruption + that’s not acknowledged there. + +Lastly, a gentle reminder for you to consider our [[code of +conduct|conduct]] while presenting your talk and in discussions in our +communication channels. + +Thanks in advance, and looking forward to talking to you very soon! + +Best, +amin -- cgit v1.2.3
