this is the
closing remarks section where we get to
again thank people
and get people to share their lessons
learned and whatnot
but uh leo since you've stayed up to uh
to
say something let's let's let's turn it
over to you
oh what should I be saying I mean let me
just turn on the webcam first
and uh as you can see the day has
progressed I'm not
blasting light into my face I'm now
sitting instead of
you know standing so you can tell that
it's getting quite late for europe right
now
but uh yeah I'm not sure if you want me
to to go we've already done a little bit
of our closing remarks anyway before uh
colleen's talk
so yeah what do you want me to add I
mean we've
all we've all been thanking one another
we've been spanking the speakers
uh you know nothing would have been
possible without the efforts
of you know all the other organizers in
the team but also the speakers so
I'll just reiterate what corwin has been
telling you thank you so much for being
so
so many today I believe we've tripled
the amount of viewers that we had for
the previous imax conf
and that's mind-boggling to have
so many people have seen me to think
that so many people have seen me spill
water on myself
and do a fool of myself for the entire
day it is
outstandingly stupid but still thank you
so much
it's fine yeah it's this one
yeah this is this is going going really
really well um
but of course there's always ideas we
can you can try to
make it even even better so if you have
any ideas or if you have any
uh comments on the things that work
really well that you'd like us to keep
doing tomorrow
please make sure to leave them in the
other pad uh so the url is somewhere in
all the different places we put it
and there's a section all the way at the
end where you people can drop in their
general feedback
and what went well what can be improved
if you want to volunteer to help out
with
copying questions for example that might
be great
anyways it's all there uh and um
that's that's my part
um sorry
so say that again uh it's been lots of
fun and there's tomorrow oh my goodness
you're still tomorrow that's tomorrow
damn it
yeah it's so it's been a lot of fun
today
um let's see so yeah I'm
I guess we did go through the stats
before but I'll
also quickly add that um
you know I've been looking a bit of an
eye on the
server's network bandwidth usage and you
know today we've
had about 1.3 terabytes of outbound
traffic
um which is definitely something
and it's a record it's by by far you
know shattered last year's numbers we
had I think
about like 400 viewers live um peaking
at one point
um and it's very humble
humbling to see um like so many people
um you know tune in to watch talks
um about their favorite piece of
software um about Emacs
and um you know be part of the community
and you know have us be be part of the
community or
I guess um you know run this sort of an
event so it's been absolutely
awesome um I guess I can quickly get to
the
thanks if you leo or sasha don't have
anything else to add
nope all good alrighty um
yeah so let's see I'd like to thank the
free software foundation
especially the tech team um for
for their general support for letting us
use their big blue button
um yeah thank you so much it's
it's made a lot of difference this year
um you know last year for EmacsConf
2019 we used
um jitsi meat um
which was awesome but um
you know we did run into some technical
difficulties with it but this time
um you know big blue button was for the
most part smooth sailing
um so yeah thank you very much to the
free software foundation
foundation for letting us use their
weekly watson instance
allow me to just interject for a second
it was smooth sailing for absolutely
every single speaker but myself
well I managed to have three different
problems with big blue buttons so
I'll be fighting buggy pulse all night
you can be sure of that
please do um yeah that's that's the
beauty of free software I guess
is you know it it can be frustrating but
at least you know there's
multiple ways forward with you know
reporting bugs and sending patches
um and you know that's part of I guess
the message that
I'm I'm hoping that like you know people
who take away from an event like this
um around a community like this um you
know Emacs
you know being such an um long-standing
piece of free software um
and having this large of a community
around it who who's been continuing to
grow
and mature with Emacs and you know every
year we get new people in
more and more people discover Emacs um
you know join the community
or communities I should say um
it's just wonderful and
a large part of it is possible because
Emacs is free software um
so I mean at the risk of spoiling my own
talk
uh-huh I I I
I want to say that's that's what we're
going to pivot to tomorrow that's that's
what
uh welcome to the dungeon talk is really
about why it has to be free software
and as you peel the project apart I
think you'll see
eric and I have for a long time that it
is shameful to even think about trying
to put
some things outside of the public domain
right yeah exactly and I think that's a
good point to bring this up um this is a
closing remark
but it's only for today you know we've
got tomorrow a long day of events
um much like today um you know I say it
long but
in a way like thinking back it kind of
like went by like this
so um yeah it's gonna be a lot of fun
much like today was so yeah definitely
tune in tomorrow
um we're going to be starting at the
same time same place you know
live.emacsconf.org
for the specific mount points for
example you know we'll be using
main.webm
and main dash 480p dot webm
um I want to say thank you to sasha for
setting that up and getting it running
because
I remember last year um
you know we had a couple of people um
requesting
that you know a a lower resolution
stream or mount point be made available
um
because of their limited bandwidth and
it like when you have like free software
tools it's not too hard
um to get something like that going um
I mean not impossible I should say it
wasn't too easy
we did have some difficulties with it
today
I'm learning more about ffmpeg and I
expected to know at this point but it's
great
maybe it'll work tomorrow too yeah
um yeah sasha can attest to it um
you know there were still some king
spitting iron out
um and it's a process but you know we're
all learning
um each each of us in our own ways
um yeah so there's that
I'm very happy to have had that mount
points to making banks conf accessible
to people
in um you know areas of the world where
bandwidth may not be
um you know as cheap or as readily
available
or just you know someone wanting to
watch on their phone um
even here um you know in the us and
canada
data plans are not exactly cheap or
unlimited so
um yeah that's great
let's see yeah so
we are already halfway through this
one's uh network bandwidth usage for our
server
um for tomorrow we should save some for
tomorrow
all right yeah but for for tomorrow I'll
probably try bumping up the server a
little bit more to get us some bandwidth
some more bandwidth um
yeah um in terms of thank yous
um can you scroll down a little bit
please of course
uh thank you
right um yeah so the fsf and fsf tech

sasha and to you leo

running the stream and making sure that
I joined the
the right room um but you know a lot of
it was um
sasha um and leo doing a lot of stuff
behind the scenes you know doing quick
tech checks with
with the speakers to to make sure um you
know
things are generally working pretty
smoothly and
you know I'm happy to say that of course
except for um leo's bad luck a little
bit with
with big blue button um we didn't really
have any technical issue
other technical issues this year um
which is awesome compared to last year
um yeah and leo I do look forward to
those bug reports too
people watching you can make sure I'll
cc you into them so don't worry about it
please do um yes so
I'll say briefly I very much like to
thank our speakers

you know just being a part of this
making Emacs conf20
as awesome as it turned out as it's
turned out to be and
um I'm personally very much looking
forward to an awesome tomorrow as well
um and with that I'll basically speak
less and pass it on to sasha and leo to
conclude

anything left to say after you
