# Discussion

-   Thank you for all your patience!
-   Wheeeee! We made it to the end of the first day! Thank you so much
    for joining us for the first day of EmacsConf 2024.
-   We\'re going to keep these closing remarks short so that people can
    get some sleep in preparation for tomorrow (zaeph is in
    Europe/Paris). We\'ll hang out a bit more tomorrow. But if you\'re
    just here for today, you can read through the notes at your
    leisure. 
-   Pre-recorded talks are up on the talk pages at
    [https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/](https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/)
    and at
    [https://media.emacsconf.org/2024](https://media.emacsconf.org/2024)
    . They\'re also on YouTube.
-   We\'ll work on extracting the live talks and Q&As in the weeks to
    come. If you\'d like updates, please subscribe to the
    emacsconf-discuss mailing list
    ([https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacsconf-discuss](https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacsconf-discuss))

    day of fun talks tomorrow.
