um yeah so I guess
without further ado let's get into
the conference so hello again and
welcome to EmacsConf 2020.
we're very happy to have you here um
so we're gonna start right off the bat
with
um a huge series of thank yous to um
free software foundation especially the
tech team
for um you know their continued support
and for letting us use
um their big blue button instance uh for
this very
um presentation that you're watching um
to for us to be able to deliver it using
only free software
um that's very generous of them
thank you so much next up I want to
thank all my co-organizers and
volunteers um
so this list is in alphabetical or order
but um yeah so there's myself there's

voigt which is carl boyd um
sasha chu of course and zeph which is
uh who is leo vva um thank you all so
much
so now I'll pass it on to sasha chua for
a
quick um overview of the schedule
we have a lot of fun fun talks scheduled
for today and tomorrow
you can find it at the Emacs con
schedule which I will open up in the tab
and here we go so I'll give you a quick
overview of the schedule
you can drop in of course all the times
are approximate despite the misleading
these specific time stamps so please
check back in on the Emacs comp channel
or
or keep checking the schedule throughout
the day as things things get updated
we'll start off with some user stories
and uh and then we'll dive
right into how Emacs can be used for
lots of different things
uh emax configuration of course is a
huge part of using Emacs like a tinker
with it and so we've got a couple of
talks
about that in the afternoon it's a lot
of org talks
so if if you're into org
the whole afternoon you've got these
things to play with next day
so sunday we have a lot of development
oriented talks we have
a development update from john weekly
and a number of talks about Emacs list
or packages that that help you with
working with code
you also have some talks that need to be
moved to the second day for
uh for scheduling reasons but overall
the second day is mostly about
development
no matter what uh what uh you're
interested in I hope you'll find
something
in the schedule for you
and then how do you actually participate
how do you actually watch and
ask questions and all of that let's turn
it over to leo
sure so hi there everyone it's a
pleasure to meet you all I'm really
happy to be part of the team this year
so uh this year we've decided to change
things a little
uh compared to what we did last year so
um
everything is on the link that will
pre-paste
in the chat right now but to participate
I suppose if you're hearing us right now
you found the link to follow us which is
very good so it's live.emacsconf.org
for the questions uh we use a pad where
you can both
add your questions and if you feel like
adding notes as well you know you are
completely free to do so
I believe you already have 42 people
which are on there so
if someone one of the other organizers
could paste the link there that would be
splendid
uh for chatting with us or with the
other people attending the conference
we are using isc and there are three
channels that you need to pay attention
to the first one
is #emacsconf where the general
discussion will be
happening so if you have any reactions
to what you're hearing if you are
excited about
the new things you've discovered you
know that's the channel to be using
we also have #emacsconf-accessible
which is community-run and it's for
people who
you know if you want to volunteer and
describe to uh
people what is going on during the
conference either because they can't
hear because they can't see you know
feel free to do so that would be a nice
help to us and for the speakers more
specifically if you have
any problem whatsoever or if you need to
check something with us
we will be in iEmacsConff.org and
feel free to message us there and we'll
try to take care of your problem as soon
as possible
we also have another thing this year so
as we will be
having talks one after the other if you
happen to be
if you want to continue the discussion
basically we invite you to use
jitsi to be able to continue the
discussion either with the speaker if
the speaker is willing to do so
or just with the community of users and
for that will leave you
organize yourself on isc okay I believe
that's me
uh should I hand you back the
uh speech I can't find a way to say this
in english so
just say yeah I mean go go take it away
sure thank you okay sure
thank you um so first off let me address
this um
the webcam placement on this laptop is
very weird
it's right at the bottom and if you see
me looking up like this I'm actually
looking at the
um my second monitor which has the
stream
um so yeah sorry about that um
but yeah so we have a mailing list um
which of course
isn't going to be super active at this
very moment because everyone's watching
but before and after the conference um
you know
please feel free to subscribe to uh
emacsconf-discuss
um for various updates and posts about
the conference
um follow-ups um like announcements for
example when we
put out the videos after the conference
we will make an announcement on that
list
and next up we have conduct guidelines
which are a series of
basically guidelines that we would very
much appreciate everyone
participating in the conference abide by
and um
to to help make you know the event a
great experience for everyone
um yeah I think that's about it
do you guys have anything else to add
gonna get so good alrighty um
so if you're just joining us once again
hello and welcome to EmacsConf 2020.
um I guess we'll go ahead and uh start
with
queueing up the talks
