We\'ll upload them to Toobnix and YouTube as well in the coming weeks. (Some are already available.) We\'ll also collect the recordings from the Q&A sessions and post them. You can subscribe to the emacsconf-discuss mailing list () for updates. - corwin - I\'ll jump in at this point - Love the conversations and the community? Here\'s how to keep going: - Lots of meetups both online and in person: - Like the IRC conversations? There\'s an \#emacs channel, \#org-mode, \#emacs-beginners on irc.libera.chat (put \#emacs in the channel field on chat.emacsconf.org, or use an IRC client (bandali maintains ERC =) ) ) - If you blog about EmacsConf or Emacs, please let me know at sacha\@sachachua.com so I can include it in Emacs News () .  - , ,   - Mastodon: there\'s a lively community at - Corwin - stop here - Flowy - starts here - Want to help out with EmacsConf? Please e-mail emacsconf-org\@gnu.org or emacsconf-org-private\@gnu.org and we will assimilate you. =) Volunteers get early access to the talks and end up learning a lot about Emacs along the way. You don\'t need to be very technical; all levels of experience, interest, and availability welcome. - Next up: copying the pads and extracting notes from IRC so that they can be added to the wiki; adding chapter markers and captions for Q&A; \... - Would be great if the webpage timestamps could be localized to the web browser\'s local time. - Thanks - Thank you to all the speakers, volunteers, and participants, and to all the people in our lives who make this possible. - This year\'s conference hosts are zaeph and bandali and our streamer sachac (who did not go crazy managing two streams at the same time, yay Org Mode and OBS in the cloud!) - Flowy - stopping here - Who next? ʕ ·ᴥ·ʔ? - Maybe sachac?  It's about the captioneers! - Thanks to our captioning volunteers: sachac, bhavin192, Tom Purl, Hannah Miller, triko, and anush, and also to the speakers who captioned their own talks. Thanks to quiliro for translating the meetups talk into Spanish subtitles, which you can find on the talk page.  - Thanks to dto for describing things in \#emacsconf-accessible. - Thanks to everyone who added notes and questions to the pad, and especially to publicvoit and jrootabega. - zaeph can take care of this from here - Thanks to bhavin192 for last-minute reencoding and captioning, and to his brother for lending us a beefy computer for last-minute panicky reencodes. - Thanks to Akshay Gaikwad for design contributions (notably the next-talk slides) - Thanks also to other volunteers: corwin, vetrivln, dto, jman, FlowyCoder, and vetrivln who worked on all the other things that are needed to make this happen. - Thanks to Zen Monk Alain M. Lafon, Alex Mihov, Phil Hofmann, and friends from 200ok.ch and Ardeo for organizing an in-person EmacsConf satellite in Lucerne, Switzerland in their Coworking Hub venue - Thanks to shoshin whose music you heard today - Thanks to the GNU Project and the Free Software Foundation for Emacs and the mailing lists, and libera.chat for IRC community support.  - Thanks to Ry P for the server that we\'re using for OBS streaming and for processing videos. - Thanks so much to all the organizers and participants in EmacsConf 2022! (All of you! =) You\'re all awesome.) - From chat: -  \ I\'d be very happy to help. -  All right! Looking forward to hearing from you - please e-mail us at emacsconf-org\@gnu.org - \ Seriously, an emacsconf-mode would be great. I browsed the website from eww, started vlc from eww, irced from Emacs. The only thing missing was this etherpad. - \ Yes, it may sound a bit cheesy, but it is nonetheless very  true: I think emacs conf does a great job of bringing in very different people together and producing a great feeling of togertherness. \ \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\--\ Questions and answers go here:\ - Q: What did you use to make this?  - All free/libre/open source tools: - One private Org file with speaker/volunteer/talk info - The talks were generally run using run-at-time, org-after-todo-state-change-hook, and some TRAMP (by the way, TRAMP does not like being run from timers at the same time, so we shifted some talks =) ) - A public Org file for processes: - An ansible repo for configuration management: - Lots of Emacs Lisp: - TRAMP for writing files and running commands on remote computers - OBS for streaming, Icecast for sharing the stream with viewers - VNC for letting hosts and streamers connect to the same display for OBS streaming - screen for naming shell commands and making them easier to resume and kill - BigBlueButton for video Q&A - Mumble for speaking on the stream as well as for backstage communications - ERC for Internet Relay Chat within Emacs, The Lounge for web-based IRC - Ikiwiki for the wiki (editing through git commits) - Etherpad for collaborative note-taking - ffmpeg for reencoding videos to free (patent-unencumbered) formats and compressing them - Captioning (): - OpenAI Whisper for computer-generated transcripts to be reflowed and edited by captioning volunteers - Some Emacs Lisp code to help with reflowing (emacsconf-reflow, in ) - Aeneas () for synchronizing reflowed text with the audio files - subed.el () for editing captions within Emacs (synchronizes with MPV) - MPV for playing videos (config tips: ) - Q: How do you have multiple font sizes, countdowns and clocks in fundamental mode? - A: : see emacsconf-stream-display-clock-and-countdown. You can propertize a string with face attributes and then insert it. - Q:  \[what were the\] participation rates (\# of users) \[this year\]? - A:  High-water mark was around 350: 240 people on Gen and \~100 on Dev.  It\'s not clear how these metrics compare to prior years because we ran two streams in parallel this year. (i.e. a given person could be watching both streams at the same time.) - Q:  - A: - Q: A great problem is having too many talks that we have split into 2 tracks. What about having multiple conferences a year? - A: Want to help organize another one? =) - Q: \"emacsconf-org.el\" to elpa/core? :) - There\'s a repo, it\'s probably very idiosyncratic, happy to chat with whoever\'s interested - sachac - A: - Q: My streaming improved immensely once I implemented the mpv solution. I could have benefited from a short \"how to\" beforehand for the command line tool.  - A: ooh, good point, we\'ll recommend that more next time - Q: Suggestion really\-- a few setup videos that orient people to the tools and conventions for participation. would be better. I think y\'all also need to load balance Leo\-- turn him into an MC and allow someone to field and queue up questions.  That way Leo would not be in a hurry to get back to the next presentation. He could hand off the mic to someone who could facilitate.  [[!inline pages="internal(2022/info/sun-close-after)" raw="yes"]] [[!inline pages="internal(2022/info/sun-close-nav)" raw="yes"]]
