Here's the weekly update on what's happening backstage +for EmacsConf 2022 in case you notice something that you want to help +out with. =) + +- All the speakers have confirmed that they've gotten the acceptance + e-mails. Many speakers have confirmed that the schedule works for + them after I reshuffled a few talks for better availability. I've + posted the schedule at https://emacsconf.org/2022/talks/ . We'll + announce the schedule on the emacsconf-discuss mailing, Reddit, and + various places this week. + +- zaeph has been working on the ffmpeg incantations for preprocessing + the videos that will be submitted soon. bandali is working on + getting the FTP and web-based uploads sorted out so that speakers + can submit their videos. + +- I created some watch pages to support viewing different tracks: + https://emacsconf.org/2022/watch/ . The livestreams won't work yet + and it would be nice to figure out something that can dynamically + display info for recent/current/upcoming talks, but it's a start. + +- We set up a self-hosted Etherpad (ex: + https://pad.emacsconf.org/2022-journalism) with an easy way to + redirect to using Wikimedia in case we run into scaling issues. I've + added it to our Ansible playbook + (git@git.emacsconf.org:pub/emacsconf-ansible) and I'm looking + forward to incorporating Ry P.'s improvements. Karl Voit gave + feedback on the first draft of the template. + +- vetrivln volunteered for some of the dev hosting shifts, Karl Voit + volunteered for some of the gen pad shifts, and FlowyCoder + volunteered for some of the gen check-in shifts. Thanks! + +Next week, we hope to: + +- Announce the EmacsConf 2022 schedule in the usual places (got any wording/JS/CSS suggestions?) +- Finalize the upload instructions so that speakers can start submitting their files +- Put together volunteer training materials +- Set up per-speaker BBB rooms and friendly URLs + +Sacha -- cgit v1.2.3
