In those cases, since +we'll probably need to schedule a one-on-one tech-check with you, we ask that +you email the closest volunteer to your timezone (or zaeph otherwise). You +can also visit us on [#emacsconf-org on +Libera](irc://libera.chat/#emacsconf-org). + +We will likely schedule those one-on-one tech-checks with you on Saturdays or +Sundays, but we would be happy to try and work out another time if that +doesn't work for you. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
