00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.519
Welcome to the second day of EmacsConf 2023.

00:00:04.520 --> 00:00:06.858
There's a General track and a Development track,

00:00:06.859 --> 00:00:08.437
but really, you'll probably find

00:00:08.438 --> 00:00:10.156
interesting things on both tracks

00:00:10.157 --> 00:00:12.695
no matter what your level of experience is,

00:00:12.696 --> 00:00:15.354
so don't feel limited to one or the other.

00:00:15.355 --> 00:00:17.093
Please note that the hyperdrive talk

00:00:17.094 --> 00:00:21.172
(titled "hyperdrive.el: Peer-to-peer filesystem in Emacs")

00:00:21.173 --> 00:00:23.491
on the Development track in the afternoon

00:00:23.492 --> 00:00:25.231
is actually a general-audience talk,

00:00:25.232 --> 00:00:28.091
I just didn't have space elsewhere in the schedule.

00:00:28.092 --> 00:00:31.330
The best parts of EmacsConf are the conversations.

00:00:31.331 --> 00:00:34.089
The wiki has a page on how to watch and participate,

00:00:34.090 --> 00:00:36.868
and I'll give you a quick overview as well.

00:00:36.869 --> 00:00:40.347
You can watch both streams at live.emacsconf.org

00:00:40.348 --> 00:00:43.226
using free and open source software.

00:00:43.227 --> 00:00:45.645
Using a streaming media player like mpv

00:00:45.646 --> 00:00:49.044
seems to be the best way to watch in terms of performance

00:00:49.045 --> 00:00:50.643
but there are also web-based players

00:00:50.644 --> 00:00:53.122
just in case that's all you've got.

00:00:53.123 --> 00:00:55.121
The schedule shows the General track on top

00:00:55.122 --> 00:00:56.800
and the Development track on the bottom,

00:00:56.801 --> 00:00:59.419
so you can see what else is going on.

00:00:59.420 --> 00:01:00.618
As you're watching the talks,

00:01:00.619 --> 00:01:03.517
you can refer to the schedule in another window.

00:01:03.518 --> 00:01:06.536
Hover over the boxes to see the times and titles,

00:01:06.537 --> 00:01:08.435
and click on the boxes in the schedule

00:01:08.436 --> 00:01:11.214
to jump to the talk's page for more details.

00:01:11.215 --> 00:01:13.753
You can also get the schedule as an iCalendar file

00:01:13.754 --> 00:01:16.012
or as an Org file in different time zones.

00:01:16.013 --> 00:01:17.511
Many talks will be followed by

00:01:17.512 --> 00:01:20.170
live Q&A web conferences with the speaker,

00:01:20.171 --> 00:01:23.249
which will be done in BigBlueButton or BBB.

00:01:23.250 --> 00:01:26.248
These are indicated with a solid border on the schedule

00:01:26.249 --> 00:01:29.407
and by Q&A: BBB on the schedule page.

00:01:29.408 --> 00:01:31.106
You can join the web conference room

00:01:31.107 --> 00:01:32.725
by clicking on the BBB link

00:01:32.726 --> 00:01:35.664
on the schedule page or the talk's webpage.

00:01:35.665 --> 00:01:38.583
Then you can ask your questions yourself when the Q&A starts.

00:01:38.584 --> 00:01:41.042
To improve performance, please keep your webcam off

00:01:41.043 --> 00:01:43.781
and stay muted until it's your turn to talk.

00:01:43.782 --> 00:01:46.400
This year we're experimenting with automatically switching

00:01:46.401 --> 00:01:48.759
between talks and Q&A sessions,

00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:51.958
so the transitions on the stream might be a little sudden,

00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:53.717
but people in the BigBlueButton room

00:01:53.718 --> 00:01:55.396
can continue the conversation

00:01:55.397 --> 00:01:58.235
even after the talk moves off-stream.

00:01:58.236 --> 00:02:01.594
Other talks will have Q&A via Etherpad or IRC,

00:02:01.595 --> 00:02:03.913
depending on what the speakers prefer.

00:02:03.914 --> 00:02:06.932
This is indicated in the schedule with a dashed border

00:02:06.933 --> 00:02:09.651
and on the schedule page as well.

00:02:09.652 --> 00:02:12.090
Please ask your questions in the recommended places

00:02:12.091 --> 00:02:14.609
so that the speakers can easily see them.

00:02:14.610 --> 00:02:17.328
Some talks will have the Q&A after the event,

00:02:17.329 --> 00:02:20.187
so you can add your questions to their Etherpad.

00:02:20.188 --> 00:02:21.919
We'll e-mail the speakers afterwards

00:02:21.920 --> 00:02:25.185
and update the talk pages when they answer.

00:02:25.186 --> 00:02:28.324
The schedule pages and track pages have quick shortcuts

00:02:28.325 --> 00:02:31.803
so that you can find out more about talks, open the Etherpads,

00:02:31.804 --> 00:02:35.362
and join the Q&A sessions. The watch page has more tips

00:02:35.363 --> 00:02:38.061
on how to make the most of Q&A.

00:02:38.062 --> 00:02:40.840
If you can, please add notes and ask questions

00:02:40.841 --> 00:02:43.839
in the Etherpad for the talk. That makes it easier

00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:45.658
for everyone to share their notes,

00:02:45.659 --> 00:02:48.597
and speakers and hosts can read the questions from there.

00:02:48.598 --> 00:02:52.616
We'll copy the notes to the talk pages afterwards.

00:02:52.617 --> 00:02:54.675
We have one pad for each talk,

00:02:54.676 --> 00:02:56.794
so you can follow the links to get to the next one

00:02:56.795 --> 00:02:59.953
or go back to the schedule and get the link from there.

00:02:59.954 --> 00:03:01.592
If you have general feedback about

00:03:01.593 --> 00:03:03.751
the conference itself, please put it in

00:03:03.752 --> 00:03:09.210
pad.emacsconf.org/2023 , which is linked on each pad.

00:03:09.211 --> 00:03:11.869
You can also use this as a general community message board

00:03:11.870 --> 00:03:15.008
for things like Help Wanted.

00:03:15.009 --> 00:03:18.259
Internet Relay Chat or IRC can be another great way

00:03:18.260 --> 00:03:20.786
to be part of lots of conversations.

00:03:20.787 --> 00:03:24.505
You can use chat.emacsconf.org to join the IRC channels

00:03:24.506 --> 00:03:27.344
through your web browser. The tabs on the left can help you

00:03:27.345 --> 00:03:29.903
switch between the different channels.

00:03:29.904 --> 00:03:32.959
There's #emacsconf-gen for the General track

00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:36.521
and #emacsconf-dev for the Development track.

00:03:36.522 --> 00:03:40.240
If you need to reach us, you can join #emacsconf-org

00:03:40.241 --> 00:03:45.219
or e-mail emacsconf-org-private@gnu.org.

00:03:45.220 --> 00:03:48.498
You can use #emacsconf for hallway conversations.

00:03:48.499 --> 00:03:50.617
Of course, you can join any of these channels

00:03:50.618 --> 00:03:52.759
with your favourite IRC client.

00:03:52.760 --> 00:03:56.735
We're on the libera.chat network.

00:03:56.736 --> 00:03:59.374
Once again, we're going to be streaming with open captions

00:03:59.375 --> 00:04:02.453
for most of the talks this year, thanks to our speakers and

00:04:02.454 --> 00:04:05.812
captioning volunteers. The captioned talks are indicated

00:04:05.813 --> 00:04:08.531
on the schedule, and with any luck, we'll be posting

00:04:08.532 --> 00:04:12.030
transcripts on talk pages shortly after the talks start.

00:04:12.031 --> 00:04:13.849
If you need additional accommodations,

00:04:13.850 --> 00:04:16.609
please let us know in #emacsconf-org

00:04:16.610 --> 00:04:18.508
and we'll see if we can make things happen.

00:04:18.509 --> 00:04:22.747
If something goes down, we'll update status.emacsconf.org.

00:04:22.748 --> 00:04:24.606
If it doesn't look like we've noticed yet,

00:04:24.607 --> 00:04:28.045
please let us know in the #emacsconf-org IRC channel,

00:04:28.046 --> 00:04:30.204
where we will be quietly panicking.

00:04:30.205 --> 00:04:32.903
In all of these conversations, please keep in mind

00:04:32.904 --> 00:04:35.902
our guidelines for conduct. You can find them on the wiki,

00:04:35.903 --> 00:04:39.382
They basically boil down to: please be nice.

00:04:39.383 --> 00:04:41.821
If all goes well, the prerecorded talks and transcripts

00:04:41.822 --> 00:04:43.820
should be available from the talk pages

00:04:43.821 --> 00:04:45.559
shortly after they start playing,

00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:47.458
and we'll post the recordings of live talks

00:04:47.459 --> 00:04:50.577
and Q&A sessions within the next month or so.

00:04:50.578 --> 00:04:53.096
If you'd like to get an update, you can subscribe to

00:04:53.097 --> 00:04:56.395
the emacsconf-discuss mailing list.

00:04:56.396 --> 00:04:57.954
All right, let's get going.

00:04:57.955 --> 00:05:00.354
Leo Vivier is hosting the general track,

00:05:00.355 --> 00:05:03.473
and Amin Bandali hosting the development track.

00:05:03.474 --> 00:05:06.192
The other volunteers and I will run around mostly backstage,

00:05:06.193 --> 00:05:08.271
and you'll probably meet us in the closing remarks.

00:05:08.272 --> 00:05:09.910
That's also where we get to thank

00:05:09.911 --> 00:05:11.549
all the people and organizations

00:05:11.550 --> 00:05:14.588
who make EmacsConf even possible.

00:05:14.589 --> 00:05:17.463
Thanks for coming to EmacsConf 2023.
