Progress update:
- sachac: Given the number of talks this year, we're going to try to
  see if we can pull off two tracks. I've posted a draft schedule at
  https://emacsconf.org/2022/draft-schedule/ and will e-mail speakers
  to confirm their availability. This schedule staggers live Q&A
  sessions so that the person managing the streams can jump back and
  forth as needed. [[#shifts][Want to volunteer for a shift?]]

Help wanted / upcoming tasks:

- We would like to find a way for people to upload large files through
  a web-based interface, since a number of speakers had issues with
  FTP uploads last year. [[#upload][#upload]] has some options to explore. Do you
  have any recommendations or do you want to do some research?

Greetings, fellow Emacsians!

On behalf of the EmacsConf 2022 organizers team, I'm very excited to
announce the program for EmacsConf 2022 (Dec 3 and 4), available at:

                 https://emacsconf.org/2022/talks

We continue working on scheduling the talks in a way that works
reasonably well for as many of our speakers as possible with respect
to their availability, and will add the allocated time slots for the
talks in the coming weeks.

*** BLOCKED Prepare email for nudging speakers to send prerec, and inform on upload workflow :timesensitive:needsowner:

#+TOC: headlines 1 local

Ordered by importance.
*** TODO [#A] Figure out web-based file upload    :needsowner:zaeph:bandali:
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: upload
:END:
zaeph: I can work on it, but I’m not experienced in this domain, so I’d prefer to be a back-up.

Lesson learned from last year: "Since people kept running into ftp
problems, we might want to set up a web-frontend next year to minimise
problems."

Maybe we could ask some of the volunteers who wanted to help us with
the infra? It shouldn’t be complicated to deploy a ready-made
solution.

"file drop" is a common keyword for looking for information.
Considerations:
- Probably run it on media.emacsconf.org
- Bonus features:
  - password-protected or hidden behind some kind of authentication or hidden behind some kind of URL, so we don't have to worry too much about spam
  - extra points for sending speakers links to upload to specific folders so that we can separate resources by talk
  - Resumable uploads would be good, since some speakers had a hard time with unreliable connections
- What other conferences do:
  - LibrePlanet uses plain FTP and recommends FileZilla https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Video_upload_instructions
  - FOSSDEM uses Pentabarf to receive uploads  https://archive.fosdem.org/2022/manuals/program/speaker/
  - DebConf uses SReview(?)
  - FOSSGIS uses Seafile https://vmx.cx/cgi-bin/blog/index.cgi/video-uploads-for-an-online-conference%3A2021-06-12%3Aen%2Cconference%2Cgeo
- Some options:
  - https://www.projectsend.org/
  - https://github.com/pomf/pomf
  - https://github.com/dutchcoders/transfer.sh/
  - https://github.com/epoupon/fileshelter

**** TODO Create 2022/upload.md with the same workflow as last year for a start
**** TODO Implement new workflow
**** TODO Notify speakers when the final solution is available

*** TODO Prepare for prerecs                                         :zaeph:
DEADLINE: <2022-10-28 Fri>
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: prepare-prerec-process
:END:
**** TODO Optimize ffmpeg incantation
Remember to update [[file:prepare.md::Compression]] with the new incantation.
**** TODO Figure out workflow for handling submitted prerecs
We need time after the prerecs get submitted to:
- convert the videos and check that they've been reencoded properly by watching the re-encoded ones all the way to the end
- caption videos
- capture any extra info
- follow up with missing prerecs

*** TODO Delete all the EmacsConf BBB rooms from last year      :chore:bbb:
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: bbb-cleanup
:END:
For the admins on BBB.  The list is accessible here: [[https://bbb.emacsverse.org/b/admins/rooms][Organization Settings]].
Should take no more than ~20′.

*** TODO Investigate streaming options, maybe OBS in the cloud :corwin:zaeph:
DEADLINE: <2022-11-20 Sun>
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: streaming
:END:
- Issue: zaeph was dropping frames and couldn’t pay attention to as many things as he wanted
- Issue: corwin needs assistance to not be locked in his chair for the whole conf.  Premptively, zaeph can do it by broadcasting OBS scenes via the rtmp (instead of just his webcam).
- With a long day, we may want to be able to schedule hosts/streamers/publishers in shifts
- Ideal: Easy reproducible setup to spin up an OBS VM with scenes set up, allowing multiple users to connect to it at the same time. Maybe x2go or vnc? VMs with 8 vCPUs and a vGPU cost more, so it would be good to figure out what's needed, spin it down, and then spin it up maybe the day before or something like that.
- Plus points if we can control the OBS via password-protected websocket so we can tell it to switch scenes (and even more points if we do so from Emacs, maybe via that obs-websocket.el ;) ). MPV is also controllable via IPC, so we can use the same MPV player and then switch videos around. Maybe mpvc? https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/664728/how-can-i-control-mpv-in-command-line
- Probably Linode's Dedicated 32 GB + RTX6000 GPU x1 at $1.50 an hour for 2-3 days + dev time, since live.emacsconf.org is in Linode as well

**** TODO corwin: plan an approach to use a centralized OBS/nginix "bouncer" :corwin:
**** TODO corwin: document such that someone else could use/fix it :corwin:
**** TODO corwin: recruit at least one more person to help operate the "video bouncer" :corwin:

*** TODO Work on the OBS scenes                               :zaeph:corwin:
DEADLINE: <2022-11-11 Fri>
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: obs-scenes
:END:
- [ ] corwin is out from Nov 11-20, and we should start working on them before then.

*** Move scheduling and publishing code to Emacs on a VPS so that other people can help out  :sachac:
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: publishing-vps
:END:
Ideal:
- Update pages with watching information, additional resources, etc. as talks go live
- Update the schedule as needed (cancelled or reordered talks, etc.)

Where:
- front? my own VPS?

  Nice if there's an Ansible playbook
  
  sachac's notes:
  [[file:~/code/docker/emacsconf-publish/]]

*** STANDBY Find a way to accommodate a specific return-speaker
We’re not sure if we’re going to get a presentation or a prerec for them
this year, but we need to keep this at the back of our minds.

*** DONE Add entry in 2022/volunteer.md
*** INPROGRESS Write protocol for adding tech-checker volunteer
- Invite volunteer to BBB (ask core organizers)
- Update [[file:prepare.md::Tech-check]] with new tech-checker info
- Coach tech-checker on the protocol
*** INPROGRESS Write the tech-checking protocol (formerly referred to as “tech-checklist”)
From previous years:
#+begin_quote
- Can you speak and be heard? Is there echo?
- Can you hear the organizer?
- Can you share your screen? Is the screen readable?
- If you plan to show your keystrokes, is that display visible?
- If you want to share your webcam (optional), can you enable it? Is it visible? Will there likely be distractions in the background?
- Can you view the collaborative pad? Will you be comfortable reviewing questions on your own (perhaps by keeping it open beside your shared window), or will you need a volunteer to relay questions to you?
- Can you share contact information (ex: phone number) so that we can get in touch with you in case of technical issues or scheduling changes?
- Do you need help finding your way around IRC so that you can check into `#emacsconf-org`? What is your IRC nickname?
#+end_quote
** STANDBY Update viewing instructions and watch pages               :zaeph:
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: write-viewing
:END:
Extra stuff to consider adding:
- Suggestions for mpv-filter to invert colourscape.
Also add to watch page
** TODO Add category tags and possibly links between talks across 2022 and all previous years :needsowner:wiki:
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: link-pages
:END:

- Prerequisite: Can edit wiki pages (https://emacsconf.org/edit/)
- Goal: Make it easier for people to discover interesting related talks

- List of talks for EmacsConf 2022:  https://emacsconf.org/talks/
- List of talks: https://emacsconf.org/talks/
- List of categories: https://emacsconf.org/CategoryCategory/
- To add something to a category, add =\[[!taglink CategoryName]]= to the bottom of its talk page (ex: 2022/talks/maint.md is in CategoryCommunity)
- You can create new categories by making up new CategoryNames.
- You can also link to a talk with a link like this: =\[[/2022/talks/maint|Maintaining the Maintainers: Attribution as an Economic Model for Open Source]]=
  You can make a new heading called =# Related talks=

** How do we want to make the full schedule more manageable?
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: sched-decision
:END:

updated by conf.org
[[file:schedule.svg]]

- Green: no availability constraints
- Red: invalid because of availability constraint
- Dashed: IRC/pad Q&A, not live

Host role:
- Give the speaker a heads-up before their Q&A session begins
- If needed, read the questions from the pad to the speaker (Many speakers are comfortable reading the pad on their own.)
- Give the speaker time warnings before the end of their Q&A session on the stream. Interested participants can continue
  
Streamer role:
- Switch between playing the prerec and joining the Q&A session
- Adjust audio volume at the beginning of the Q&A session
- (optional) Switch scene layouts to focus on different things

Shifts will be Sat AM, Sat PM, Sun AM, or Sun PM per track. People can take multiple shifts.

https://emacsconf.org/2022/decisions/#schedule

- Figure out how hosting can be done in shifts
  - Add notes in one place
- Figure out how streaming can be done in shifts: OBS in the cloud?
  - [[*Investigate streaming options, maybe OBS in the cloud][Investigate streaming options, maybe OBS in the cloud]]
- Figure out how publishing can be done in shifts
  - Console Emacs in a VM with everything set up for publishing to the wiki
    
** How much do we want to enrich the wiki with JS?
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: wiki-design
:END:
Ideas to consider:
- Toggling local time display on the schedule
- Making organizers-notebook nicer to browse through (or maybe use organice?)
- Improve the video player (resolution switching?)

*** BLOCKED ?: Figure out JS and CSS niceties that will make organizers-notebook more enjoyable to browse through :css:js:


- TODO/DONE/etc. keyword highlighting?
- Collapsible sections?
*** BLOCKED ?: Find a way to add JS libraries to the wiki but shield them from anon editing :js:
gitolite should have some options to do this
*** BLOCKED ?: Beautify video players                              :js:css:
Might not be necessary.

** [#C] Do we want to make the ikiwiki web-editable?
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: cgi
:END:
Pain points:
- Speakers usually ended up going through us

Options:
- Web-editable:
  - Speakers and general public will be able to edit it more easily
- Git: (current)
  - Haven't had a problem with spam
  - Reduces merge conflict potential

** How do we want to make better use of Etherpad?
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: pad-decision
:END:
Pain points:
- Lots of scrolling for speakers
- Takes some effort to move questions from IRC to the pad
*** How many pads do we want?
- One pad for everything
  - Scroll down, down, down
  - Easy to set up at the beginning
  - Inertia
- One pad per set of talks (Saturday AM, Saturday PM, Sunday AM, Sunday PM)
  - Less scrolling
- One pad per talk, plus one meta pad
  - Very little scrolling
  - Can send people directly to the pad
*** Do we want to host our own?
- Use etherpad.wikimedia.org
  - Worked fine last year
- Host our own
  - Might be able to use API to append questions to it, if we want to get super fancy
*** Do we want to embed the pad as an iframe on the watch page? on talk pages?
This guides people to use the pad for discussion/questions instead of IRC

Options:

- Current: None, just a link
- Big pad on the watch page:
- Individual pads:
  - Watch page needs to be updated with current pad and link to previous pad
  - Individual talk page can embed the iframe
- Embed the IRC channel instead
  
** Can we nudge people to ask IRC questions in a way that will make it easier for us to follow them?
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: irc-markers
:END:

Two tracks mean two IRC channels with lots of space for Q&A, so this may become less of an issue

Pain points:

- Q&A/discussions often overlap with the next talks
- Sometimes questions don't get copied to the pad
- Fast discussions can get overwhelming
  
Ideas:

- Announce pad link at the beginning of the talk and at the start of
  live Q&A, encourage most people to ask questions there
- Encourage people to start questions with Q:
  - A little extra work, but not as much as including the slug
  - Easier to pick out when people search
  - Volunteers can restate questions easily if people forget the Q:
- Encourage people to start questions with Q-slug: (ex: Q-news: question about Emacs News Highlights, Q-journalism: ...)
  - Easier to pick out questions even with overlapping Q&A/talks
- Use two or three IRC channels so that talks can rotate among channels
  - Easier to pick out questions even with overlapping Q&A/talks
  - Needs logging and more organizer attention
- Maybe a volunteer can have an ERC command that copies a question into a buffer, or even into the Etherpad
** How many BBB rooms do we want to set up?
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: bbb-rooms
:END:

- One per talk
  - We can send speakers a direct link to their room and they can check into it themselves
  - Needs a little more work when setting up rooms and when extracting videos
  - Easier for the host to join
  - Check-in person can just keep an ear open in that room
- Five or so, rotating among them
  - Check-in person directs the speaker to the next available room
  - Worked fine last time
** Do we want people to advertise any openings with their companies or any work that they're looking for?
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: advertising
:END:

- Speakers on their page?
- General audience on a wiki page somewhere?
  
** Decision archive
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: decision-archive
:END:
*** Where should volunteers e-mail?
:LOGBOOK:
- Note taken on [2022-09-23 Fri 11:26] \\
  Discussed in #emacsconf-org
:END:

- *Default to emacsconf-org and offer emacsconf-org-private as an option*
- emacsconf-org-private
  - less public, e.g. if for whatever reason we might have to decline an offer of help
  - Also, some people want to volunteer but do not want to be in the public’s eye.
- emacsconf-org
  - If you’re thinking about the enticement factor of having people
    volunteer publicly, we’ll still have a well-furnished list of people
    helping us run the conf somewhere on the wiki.  [11:22]
  - i would think if someone doesn't want to do it publicly, they could
    opt to write to -org-private instead, but otherwise the defacto
    should be public (-org)
  - i just think most folks would want to do this publicly unless for
    specific reasons, rather than the other way around
  
*** CANCELLED Do we want to do alt-stream the same way again this year?

Superseded by decision to have multiple tracks

- Alt stream joins the current session and then continues with it until the Q&A finishes; people join the BBB room if they want to ask questions
  - Nice and convivial, Q&A still gets captured
  - Inertia means most people get the main message
- Multiple streams with more space between talks, people choose which stream they want to watch
  - How other conferences do it
  - Speakers can attend related talks more easily
*** DONE Shall we put a generic e-mail address for sending feedback, maybe with different mailtos?
CLOSED: [2022-10-07 Fri 14:45]
Pain points:
- Many talk pages don't have public e-mail addresses, so it takes a
  little extra work (or is sometimes impossible) for people to follow
  up if they have questions

Options:
- Do nothing (current)
- Add a mailto link to emacsconf-discuss that prepopulates the subject
- Add a mailto link to emacsconf-org
  - Wider discussion
- *Add a mailto to emacsconf-org-private*
  - Private feedback that can be forwarded to the speaker  

* Roles needed
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: roles
:END:
Each role comprises different responsibilities.  A person may have multiple roles.  An organizer might take the lead for a role, but if you want to volunteer, speak up and they'll probably be glad to share the load.

Some roles are also described on the https://emacsconf.org/2022/volunteer page. If you want to encourage people to volunteer to help, add a role description there.

- Sacha: Parcel out captioning work to volunteers, help them get set up

    - check screen readability
    - CHECK briefs speaker on process, including:
      - live Q&A: reading questions themselves (can do in any order,
        can skip; coach possible responses for awkward things) or asking HOST to read questions to them
        - HOST can share the pad or IRC; speaker shares screen only if doing demo
      - encouragement of webcam, although it's optional
      - how HOST will join shortly before the prerec ends and then
        give them the go-ahead
      - closing any tabs watching the stream as their talk starts
        (otherwise the audio is confusing)
    - If the speaker will be giving a live presentation, CHECK
      collects emergency contact information (in case of technical
      issues) and shares it with HOST in the CRDT buffer
    - Okay to do other things until the prerec ends
  - CHECK updates ${upcoming} with link to the talk room and
    preferences for Q&A-. CHECK will also /msg the relevant
    information.

**** bandali's check-in steps

- please leave webcam quality on 'medium'
- please read each audience question out loud before responding
- please mute stream on your machine if you're watching
- would you like to stay around for a longer q&a?

Resource explanation:

- slides_new.xml :: Text chat
- webcams.webm :: Webcam as video stream, also has audio
- deskshare.xml :: start and stop time of desktop sharing, if any
- deskshare.webm :: Shared desktop as video
- metadata.xml

Probably focus on grabbing the audio first and seeing what's worth keeping

  FFMPEG process for sending the desktop and audio to the $CONFALT mountpoint on Linux with X11 and Alsa:

  1. Set the CONFALT environment variable to icecast://user:password@live0.emacsconf.org:8000/alt.webm
  2. Install pavucontrol if you don't have it already.
  3. Start the following command ([[file:stream-desktop-and-audio.sh]]:
     #+begin_src sh :eval no :tangle stream-desktop-and-audio.sh
     while true; do ffmpeg -loglevel 0 -ar 48000 -f alsa -channels 2 -sample_rate 48000 -i default -re -video_size 1280x720 -framerate 25 -f x11grab -i :0.0  -cluster_size_limit 2M -cluster_time_limit 5100 -content_type video/webm -c:v libvpx -b:v 1M -crf 30 -g 125 -deadline good -threads 4  -f webm $CONFALT; done
     #+end_src
  4. Use pavucontrol to set the recording source for the ffmpeg
     command to be the audio monitor, so you get system output as
     well.

** DONE Ask emacsconf-org-private for feedback on early submissions

The EmacsConf 2022 CFP was extended to Sept 30 with notifications to
go out on Oct 15. We've got plenty of submissions and with any luck,
you've been reviewing them as they come in (assuming you have access to
emacsconf-submit@).

As a courtesy to people who got their stuff together in a timely manner
and to give them extra time to prepare a prerecorded talk (which might
also translate into extra time for us to process and caption the talks),
I'd like to send acceptances and tentative time allotments by Sept 30.
I plan to offer a max of 20 minutes with a note that additional time may
be available for Q&A depending on how many additional submissions we get.

Could everyone who wants a say in the program please add comments to
$url by **Sept 26** so that we can send out early acceptances? In
general, we try to say yes to everything, so here's your chance to
raise any red flags or suggest ways to make things even better.
Thanks!

Sacha

Right before this e-mail:

- Publish the wiki pages

Objectives for this e-mail:

- Notify people of acceptance
- Tell them the number of minutes to plan for* (might get more)
- Tell them about the target date
- Get them to reply

,${acceptance-tasks}

We've accepted your EmacsConf proposal${plural} for ${titles}! Thanks
for volunteering to share what you're learning about. I know it takes
a fair bit of work to prepare a presentation, so I appreciate that
you're taking the time to show what's possible with Emacs and
encourage people to learn more.${wrap}

---------------------------------------------------------------------
${talk-details-and-comments}
---------------------------------------------------------------------

You'll have some time after your talk${plural} for Q&A, so the allocated time
can be just for your pre-recorded talk${plural}. Of course, if you like, you
can make it shorter.

We've posted preparation tips at https://emacsconf.org/${year}/prepare/ .
We'll send you instructions on how to upload files once we get that
set up.

Could you please plan to **put your pre-rec${plural} together by
${prerec-target}** (or even earlier if you want)? We're going to try
to caption as many talks as possible again this year, and extra time
helps a lot. People found the captions really helpful while watching
the stream, and sending your talk in early will make it more likely
that we'll be able to get your captions edited and reviewed before the
conference.

**Please reply to this e-mail by ${reply-date}** (doublechecking that
emacsconf-submit@gnu.org is in the To: or Cc:) so that we can confirm
that we've got the right email address for you and that messages can
get properly delivered. Also, would you like us to put ${email} as the
public contact information for you, or would you like us to add
something else to the talk page${plural}?${wrap}

${page-urls}

If you have any questions, please e-mail us at
emacsconf-submit@gnu.org or pass by the #emacsconf-org IRC channel on
irc.libera.chat (Web-based: https://chat.emacsconf.org/#/connect).

Thank you so much!

Dear ${name},

We would love to have your talk "${title}" as part of EmacsConf
${year}, and we've allocated ${time} minutes for it.  ${time-explanation}

Your talk is tentatively scheduled for ${scheduled}.  The times
may move around a bit as we update the schedule, so we'll check in
with you if things change a lot.  ${availability}

${other-notes}Please plan to prerecord your ${time}-minute
talk(s) by Sunday ${prere-date} at the latest.  If you can, please send
it in as early as possible.  Submitting your video early lets us ask
volunteers to help caption the video, making your talk more accessible

Hi, ${name}!

I think we haven't heard from you since we accepted your EmacsConf
${year} proposal for "${title}". EmacsConf coming up soon, so I wanted
to check in with you to see how you're doing.

Could you please e-mail us to let us know if you're still working on
your prerecorded video, if you're planning to present live, or if you
can't make it this year? No worries if other priorities have come up
and you don't have the time for a presentation.

If you've been working on a presentation, fantastic! When you're
ready, you can upload it following the instructions at
https://emacsconf.org/${year}/prepare/ (ideally before ${prerec-date} so
that we have time to download it, doublecheck, etc.). 

If you plan to present live, please go through the self-check at
https://test.bigbluebutton.org/ . Some speakers have encountered
technical issues with BigBlueButton that they didn't have with Zoom or
Google Meet, so this is something we definitely want to look into
earlier rather than later. If that works for you, please e-mail us
back so that I can keep your timeslot. The tentative schedule for your
talk is on the talk page at ${url} .

*Please e-mail us your plans before ${date}.* I'm
planning to shift the schedule around to give more time to confirmed
speakers for Q&A and possibly live demos. If I don't hear from you by
then (maybe an over-enthusiastic spam filter has been swallowing up
all our mail?), I'll probably reallocate the ${time} minutes that had
been set aside for your talk. We might be able to squeeze it back in
afterwards or play a video from you at the end of the conference day,
but it would be nice to get the schedule sorted out instead of
scrambling to fill gaps on the day of the conference.

Hope to hear from you by ${date}!

:SUBJECT:  [need answer by Friday noon EST] EmacsConf ${year}: Don't have a prerec from you yet, aaah!
:EMAIL_ID: missing
:END:

Hi ${speakers},

EmacsConf is in a few days and I don't think we have your prerecorded
video yet, so I'm getting miiiildly stressed about the schedule. And
you're probably stressing out about it too, so let's go figure out how
we can make this work.

Option A: If you happen to have the prerecording or can get it done by
tomorrow, we can probably squeeze it in. Please upload it to
ftp-upload.emacsconf.org by following the instructions in
https://emacsconf.org/${year}/prepare#ftp-upload , or send us a link using
your favourite file-sharing service (especially if FTP is giving you
problems).

Option B: If you want to present live, it might be an option. I'm a little
worried about the potential for technical issues, since we've had
problems with that in previous EmacsConfs. The tight schedule means
there's not a lot of time to figure things out, and it can be hard to
make something as focused as a prerecorded video when you're doing it
live. We will definitely want to make sure that:
  - your self-serve tech check works: https://test.bigbluebutton.org
    at your convenience;
  - you check in as early as possible (at least 1 hour before, so we
    know if the speaker before you needs to extend) and let us know
    that you want to do it live https://emacsconf.org/${year}/speakers .
    We keep adapting the schedule as things come up, so please check
    https://emacsconf.org/${year}/schedule/ on the day of the conference.

If there are technical issues or your talk runs a little over time, we
might have to stop streaming it on the main stream when it's time for
the next talk. We may be able to continue streaming it on the
alternate stream. If so, people can continue watching it there if they
wish to.

Option C: If you can't make it, that's okay. Life gets crazy
sometimes. Please let us know and we can update the wiki. If you
happen to be able to make a prerecorded video afterwards, we can add
that to the wiki, playlists, and announcements. We hope you can join
us next year.

Since EmacsConf is *this weekend* (aaaaaaah), please let us know by
tomorrow noon EST (Friday; 9AM PST, 5PM GMT, 6PM CET) so that we can
keep the time allocated for you in the schedule. If we don't hear from
you, we'll probably reallocate the ${time} minutes reserved for you so
that other talks can have longer Q&A. If you can still make it, check
in early and let us know so that we can try to work out an alternate
stream for you. Hope to hear from you soon!

- Double-check Q&A preference, encourage tech checks for live talks/Q&A
  - If they are available:
    - Direct to tech-checks via https://emacsconf.org/${year}/prepare/
    - Inform them of the check-in process
      - They come say hi to us 30' before their session in #emacsconf-org or #emacsconf (they can use chat.emacsconf.org )
      - We get them set up in a room where they can wait until the end of the broadcast of their pretention

Friends, emacsians, hackers, lend me your ears!

This is it, the final stretch until the next EmacsConf.  A couple of weeks
ago, we’ve shared our program with you; now, it is time for us to share our
schedule, i.e. when the talks will happen!

You can find it on our wiki:

All the times on the program are listed in EST (UTC-5).  If a talk catches
your eye, we invite you to click on its title to find out at what time it will
be broadcast in your local time.  Also, if the talk is pre-recorded, it will
also be the time at which the talk will be made available on the same page.

We've also uploaded your talk video to ToobNix (a PeerTube

Dear fellow Emacsians,

We are excitedly calling for your participation for EmacsConf 2022,
planned for December 3 and 4, 2022 (Sat-Sun)!  The CFP will be open
until September 18.  Please see below for details on how to send in
your proposal(s), or chat with us about them and about other ways of
participating and volunteering around EmacsConf via our main IRC
channel #emacsconf on the Libera.Chat network.

As an entirely volunteer-run conference we are always looking for more
volunteers and organizers to help with various aspects of organizing
and running the conference, including reviewing session proposals and
streaming parallel tracks.  To get involved, please come by our IRC
channel or one of our public mailing lists (see below) and introduce
yourself and tell us about your interests, or contact myself or one of
the other organizers directly if you're feeling a bit shy; we hope to
hear from you! :)

Best,
amin

* Lessons learned
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: lessons
:END:
** From previous years
- [ ] Shorter CFP, longer recording time
- [ ] Ask for talk title to be subject in submission
- [X] Fresh eyes can doublecheck that all the talks are included and that availability properties have been set/followed
- [X] Putting ‘availability’ towards the top of the submission template would make it harder for us to miss it during reviews, and it shouldn’t change anything for speakers.
- [X] All the personalised messages we’ve sent during the scheduling campaign should probably be kept in a repo so that it’s less work for those who will be in charge of it next.
- [ ] Since people kept running into ftp problems, we might want to set up a web-frontend next year to minimise problems.
- [X] Might be a good idea to avoid Thanksgiving weekend, as lots of people travel then
- [ ] Tech-checks haven’t been really popular this year, but there are so many ways we could make them more useful.  On the [2021-11-16 Tue], 10 days prior the conf, we thought that it could be nice to use them as recording sessions for late-prerecs, and that’s only one example.
- [X] Having the NO_NEWS / WAITING_FOR_PREREC contrast from the start of ~conf.org~ might have made it easier for us to ping speakers who were late to the party this year.  Rather than sending the personalised 10 days prior to the conference, we might have sent it a week after the submission of the anticipated scheduled (where we ask speakers if their allocated time is okay, based on their availability).
- [ ] Move first dry run earlier (maybe one month before?) to give us more time for process tweaks
- [ ] Dropping talks one week before the conf might allow us to have a near-fixed schedule to announce early.
- [ ] CRM
  - [ ]zaeph: Implementing a variable for ~automatic-emails~ would make it easier to suppress user-hooks for message-mode
  - [ ]zaeph: Even though we’re sending emails automatically, we might want to keep trace of them in our ~Sent~ IMAP folder.  notmuch does it with ~Fcc:~ in the header, so we might need a user-customisable var here as well.
- [ ] less tiring lighting
- [ ] split host and streamer?
- [ ] Cram less with different tracks
- [ ] Review pre-recs, even late submissions in their entirety to ensure no syncing issue
- [ ] Tight opening-remarks, possible pre-rec.
- [X] Asking pronunciation of name as soon as application with SA-cha CHEW-ah pattern would be good.  Not a lot of diligence with it this year.
- [ ] People need to specify their IRC handle on application (potentially forcing nick and/or first-name/last-name.
- [ ] We might want to figure out an ffmpeg workflow for noise-suppressing on top of normalisation.  Take inspiration from Audacity macros.
- [ ] Having a more relaxed Saturday might give us time to adjust to tech-stack.
- [ ] Creating BBB rooms in anticipation and/or automatically, before or during, might make for smoother check-in; right now, people keep wanting to check in via email even though we told them to use chat
- [ ] Pre-recs were a little blocky wrt encoding; we might want to bump the bitrate next year
- [ ] we can see if bot + pads + merging will help next year, and we can also experiment with multiple streams if there are enough people to pull it off so that speakers don't feel like they've just been dropped in a room and left to their own devices :)

** Lessons learned for next year

*** CFP & Review period

- Ask for public e-mail or contact information, IRC handle in CFP
- Be even more stringent about the 10/20/40-min splits. A lot of
  speakers still default to the 20- or 40-min formats without
  providing us shorter formats, and that puts strain on our schedule
  and requires us to use a different template for the notification
  (which can be confusing). We need to stress that not respecting the
  format makes it harder not only for the organizers, but also for the
  speakers themselves (since they will have to rethink their
  presentation). Maybe we can have an e-mail template for a quick
  reply that says something like "Just in case we need to squeeze
  talks into shorter times, could you please also propose an outline
  for a possible 10-minute talk that could get people interested in
  your topic and point them to where they can find out more?"
- Two people is the sweet number of reviewers to have for the
  proposals before sending the notifications, and there’d be
  diminishing returns with more. Two is enough to release the pressure
  on SCHED, verify the metadata (esp. speaker availability), and
  suggest a different ordering where appropriate. It can take a long
  time to comb through the proposals (roughly 10 proposals per hour),
  and whilst it’d be difficult to justify more in-depth reviewers,
  other orgas can do a shallow-pass to catch red-flags or discuss the
  submissions as they come in. Other organizers can always chime in on
  topics they particularly care about so that their encouraging
  comments or suggestions can be included in the acceptance e-mail.
- We extended CFP-end by two weeks this year, but that made it coincide
  with speaker-notifs, and that’s awkward.  Next time, we should only
  extend the CFP by one week to avoid having to scramble with the
  schedule until the very last day.
- Some people assume that they have to suggest longer formats even if
  they intend their talks to be 10′ or 20′.  We should change the
  wording on the CFP to ask them to only provide alternatives for
  shorter formats, not longer.
- It was hard to squeeze all the org/hyperbole talk on day-1.
  Generally, the people who submit these kinds of talk come from all
  over the world, and US mornings are more accommodating than US
  evenings when it comes to timezones.  We might consider having two org
  *mornings* rather than an org *day*; it would give us more flexibility
  with those talks.
- We’re starting to reach critical mass on the org-talks.  We might want
  to consider splitting the org-talks and the dev-talks into two
  distinct events to allow them to grow independently.
- We should associate time-of-day with CFP-deadline; otherwise, the
  scheduler has to be on edge until the very end of the day.  It’s worse
  this year because we made CFP-end coincide with speaker-notif, so this
  might not be as much of a problem next year.
- It’s easier for us to extend beyond 5pm than to go before 9am
  (especially for the West coast).  Extending beyond 5pm puts strain on
  European organizers and volunteers, though.

** Possible big projects for next year

*** Prolog’ing the schedule

*** Designing the EmacsConf suite (to make it easier for people other us to run their own versions)
