WEBVTT 00:00.007 --> 00:03.445 Welcome to the second day of EmacsConf 2024. 00:03.446 --> 00:05.164 Today we have one track of talks, 00:05.165 --> 00:06.483 so you don't have to worry about 00:06.484 --> 00:07.922 missing out on anything. 00:07.923 --> 00:11.201 The best parts of EmacsConf are the conversations. 00:11.202 --> 00:14.000 The wiki has a page on how to watch and participate, 00:14.001 --> 00:15.799 and I'll give you a quick overview as well. 00:15.800 --> 00:18.678 You can watch the stream at live.emacsconf.org 00:18.679 --> 00:20.917 using free and open source software. 00:20.918 --> 00:23.316 Using a streaming media player like mpv 00:23.317 --> 00:26.195 seems to be the best way to watch in terms of performance 00:26.196 --> 00:28.034 but there are also web-based players 00:28.035 --> 00:29.273 just in case that's all you've got. 00:29.274 --> 00:30.672 As you're watching the talks, 00:30.673 --> 00:32.951 you can refer to the schedule in another window. 00:32.952 --> 00:35.750 Hover over the boxes to see the times and titles, 00:35.751 --> 00:37.389 and click on the boxes in the schedule 00:37.390 --> 00:39.948 to jump to the talk's page for more details. 00:39.949 --> 00:42.147 You can also get the schedule as an iCalendar file 00:42.148 --> 00:44.226 or as an Org file in different time zones. 00:44.227 --> 00:45.705 Many talks will be followed by 00:45.706 --> 00:47.624 live Q&A web conferences with the speaker, 00:47.625 --> 00:50.543 which will be done in BigBlueButton or BBB. 00:50.544 --> 00:52.902 These are indicated with a solid border on the schedule 00:52.903 --> 00:55.501 and by Q&A: BBB on the schedule page. 00:55.502 --> 00:57.580 You can join the web conference room 00:57.581 --> 00:59.259 by clicking on the BBB link 00:59.260 --> 01:01.658 on the schedule page or the talk's webpage. 01:01.659 --> 01:04.937 Then you can ask your questions yourself when the Q&A starts. 01:04.938 --> 01:07.336 To improve performance, please keep your webcam off 01:07.337 --> 01:09.735 and stay muted until it's your turn to talk. 01:09.736 --> 01:11.214 If you don't like Javascript, 01:11.215 --> 01:13.373 you can still ask questions via IRC 01:13.374 --> 01:15.012 and the hosts can read them out for you. 01:15.013 --> 01:16.731 We're probably going to automatically switch 01:16.732 --> 01:18.930 between talks and Q&A sessions, 01:18.931 --> 01:21.529 so the transitions on the stream might be a little sudden. 01:21.530 --> 01:23.408 People in the BigBlueButton room 01:23.409 --> 01:25.047 can continue the conversation 01:25.048 --> 01:27.646 even after the talk moves off-stream, 01:27.647 --> 01:29.565 and you can also reach out to the speakers 01:29.566 --> 01:32.564 using the contact information on the talk page. 01:32.565 --> 01:35.243 Other talks will have Q&A via Etherpad or IRC, 01:35.244 --> 01:37.282 depending on what the speakers prefer. 01:37.283 --> 01:39.761 This is indicated in the schedule with a dashed border 01:39.762 --> 01:41.200 and on the schedule page as well. 01:41.201 --> 01:43.679 Please ask your questions in the recommended places 01:43.680 --> 01:45.718 so that the speakers can easily see them. 01:45.719 --> 01:47.476 Again, if you ask your questions in IRC, 01:47.477 --> 01:49.636 we'll try to copy them to the right places. 01:49.637 --> 01:50.995 We're going to start Sunday morning 01:50.996 --> 01:53.154 with more IRC/Etherpad Q&A 01:53.155 --> 01:54.073 to try to get around 01:54.074 --> 01:55.392 some of the bandwidth issues 01:55.393 --> 01:56.431 that we noticed last year. 01:56.432 --> 01:59.110 The schedule pages and track pages have quick shortcuts 01:59.111 --> 02:02.189 so that you can find out more about talks, open the Etherpads, 02:02.190 --> 02:03.916 and join the Q&A sessions. 02:03.917 --> 02:05.707 The watch page has more tips 02:05.708 --> 02:07.666 on how to make the most of Q&A. 02:07.667 --> 02:10.265 If you can, please add notes and ask questions 02:10.266 --> 02:12.424 in the Etherpad for the talk. That makes it easier 02:12.425 --> 02:13.863 for everyone to share their notes, 02:13.864 --> 02:16.542 and speakers and hosts can read the questions from there. 02:16.543 --> 02:19.141 We'll copy the notes to the talk pages afterwards. 02:19.142 --> 02:20.540 We have one pad for each talk, 02:20.541 --> 02:22.579 so you can follow the links to get to the next one 02:22.580 --> 02:25.178 or go back to the schedule and get the link from there. 02:25.179 --> 02:26.817 If you have general feedback about 02:26.818 --> 02:29.056 the conference itself, please put it in 02:29.057 --> 02:34.135 pad.emacsconf.org/2024 , which is linked on each pad. 02:34.136 --> 02:37.134 You can also use this as a general community message board 02:37.135 --> 02:38.893 for things like Help Wanted. 02:38.894 --> 02:40.172 Or you can put it in IRC 02:40.173 --> 02:41.531 and we'll find it there too. 02:41.532 --> 02:44.210 Internet Relay Chat or IRC can be another great way 02:44.211 --> 02:46.329 to be part of lots of conversations. 02:46.330 --> 02:49.768 You can use chat.emacsconf.org to join the IRC channels 02:49.769 --> 02:51.212 through your web browser. 02:51.213 --> 02:53.046 The tabs on the left can help you 02:53.047 --> 02:54.725 switch between the different channels. 02:54.726 --> 02:56.284 Most discussions will be in 02:56.285 --> 02:58.563 #emacsconf-gen for the General track. 02:58.564 --> 03:03.002 If you need to reach us, you can join #emacsconf-org 03:03.003 --> 03:07.241 or e-mail emacsconf-org-private@gnu.org. 03:07.242 --> 03:10.240 You can use #emacsconf for hallway conversations. 03:10.241 --> 03:12.519 Of course, you can join any of these channels 03:12.520 --> 03:14.718 with your favourite IRC client. 03:14.719 --> 03:17.197 You can connect to irc.libera.chat 03:17.198 --> 03:19.836 port 6697 with TLS. 03:19.837 --> 03:23.075 Once again, we're going to be streaming with open captions 03:23.076 --> 03:25.834 for most of the talks this year, thanks to our speakers and 03:25.835 --> 03:28.873 captioning volunteers. The captioned talks are indicated 03:28.874 --> 03:31.592 on the schedule, and with any luck, we'll be posting 03:31.593 --> 03:34.951 transcripts on talk pages shortly after the talks start. 03:34.952 --> 03:36.710 If you need additional accommodations, 03:36.711 --> 03:38.909 please let us know in #emacsconf-org 03:38.910 --> 03:40.428 and we'll see if we can make things happen. 03:40.429 --> 03:44.627 If something goes down, we'll update status.emacsconf.org. 03:44.628 --> 03:46.506 If it doesn't look like we've noticed yet, 03:46.507 --> 03:49.745 please let us know in the #emacsconf-org IRC channel, 03:49.746 --> 03:51.424 where we will be quietly panicking. 03:51.425 --> 03:54.503 In all of these conversations, please keep in mind 03:54.504 --> 03:57.382 our guidelines for conduct. You can find them on the wiki, 03:57.383 --> 03:59.661 They basically boil down to: please be nice. 03:59.662 --> 04:02.900 If all goes well, the prerecorded talks and transcripts 04:02.901 --> 04:04.179 should be available from the talk pages 04:04.180 --> 04:05.698 shortly after they start playing, 04:05.699 --> 04:08.017 and we'll post the recordings of live talks 04:08.018 --> 04:10.176 and Q&A sessions within the next month or so. 04:10.177 --> 04:13.175 If you'd like to get an update, you can subscribe to 04:13.176 --> 04:15.134 the emacsconf-discuss mailing list. 04:15.135 --> 04:16.653 All right, let's get going. 04:16.654 --> 04:19.572 Leo Vivier is hosting the general track again today. 04:19.573 --> 04:23.131 The other volunteers and I will run around mostly backstage, 04:23.132 --> 04:25.210 and you'll probably meet us in the closing remarks. 04:25.211 --> 04:28.689 That's also where we get to thank 04:28.690 --> 04:30.648 all the people and organizations 04:30.649 --> 04:32.927 who make EmacsConf even possible. 04:32.928 --> 04:36.647 Thanks for coming to EmacsConf 2024.
