[[!meta title="Upload instructions for speakers"]]

You can upload your video through a web-based interface or using your
favourite FTP client. Please start your filename with the identifier
for your talk, which is the last part of the talk page URL. For
example, if your talk page is at
https://emacsconf.org/2022/talks/journalism/ , the ID is
`journalism`.

If you have slides, notes, or a script for your talk, please include
them as well. We can post them on the talk page, and we can also use
them to help caption your talk. You can also send us additional text
or links to include on your talk page. If you need help, please email
<emacsconf-submit@gnu.org>.

Please let us know at <emacsconf-submit@gnu.org> if you do *not* want
your talk included in the EmacsConf 2022 password-protected backstage
area for volunteers and speakers.

# Web interface

Go to <https://ftp-upload.emacsconf.org> and enter the password
**emacsconf** (Javascript required, compatible with LibreJS). 

You can upload multiple files by dragging and dropping onto the window
or by clicking on the green + button at the bottom of the list on the
left. The default settings are fine. 

When you have selected all of your files, click on the **Upload**
button. The page will show a progress bar. When the upload is
complete, the page will display the download URL. You can e-mail
<emacsconf-submit@gnu.org> with that URL, or we can pick up the files
when we check regularly.

# FTP
Here are the FTP server details:

- host: ftp-upload.emacsconf.org
- username: anonymous
- port: 21
- folder: upload-here

To upload your recording and any accompanying material to the above
FTP server, you can use your FTP client of choice.  For instance,
FileZilla, a free/libre user-friendly application with a graphical
user interface.  On deb-based GNU/Linux distributions such as Trisquel
you can install FileZilla by running `sudo apt install filezilla` in a
terminal.  Otherwise, you can download FileZilla from their [project
website](https://filezilla-project.org/).

You can also use a command-line interface with `ftp`:

```
$ ftp ftp-upload.emacsconf.org 21
> anonymous
> passive
> cd upload-here
> send /local/path/to/file.ext file.ext  # Don’t forget the 2nd arg!
# Ctrl-D to exit
```

If you get a `500 Illegal PORT command.` command, try `passive` or
`quote pasv` to switch to passive mode before sending your file.

If connection fails on the first try, please check to make sure the
details are exactly as described above; and if the issue persists,
please email <emacsconf-submit@gnu.org> so we can look into it.

# What happens next?

We'll send you an e-mail when we download your files. Then we'll
process your video to normalize the audio levels and try to reduce
noise. We'll also convert it into a standard format using codecs that
aren't encumbered by patents, and we'll make a compressed version that
will be easier for people with limited bandwidth.

We'll upload your materials to the EmacsConf 2022 backstage area so
that volunteers can work on captioning it. If you don't want your talk
included in the backstage area for volunteers and other speakers,
please let us know at <emacsconf-submit@gnu.org> before you submit
your talk

In a few weeks, we'll e-mail you check-in instructions for the
conference. If you plan to have a live Q&A session, we'll also e-mail
you instructions for the BigBlueButton room that you can use to answer
questions.

On the day of the conference, we'll move your materials to the public
EmacsConf 2022 area and publish them when the talk is streamed.

# What if you can't upload the presentation by November 4?

We can accept later submissions, although it's more of a scramble.
Please try to upload your talk as soon as you can. (Our stress levels
get higher and higher as the conference approaches!)

Thank you for your help in getting ready for a smooth EmacsConf 2022!
