# Good/better/best

This table makes it easier to move the slider depending on who wants
to volunteer and how much we can get done. At some point, we&rsquo;ll figure
out how to track our current status so we know what we need to
scramble to do in order to get the conference off the ground. **bold**
is our current goal. Feel free to volunteer for anything that
interests you!

## DONE Draft CFP


### How to mark pages as drafts

Put inside double square brackets: `!template id=pagedraft`


### Considerations

We could see if there are parts of the CFP that we can remove or
postpone. Here are some thoughts:

-   We might not need the 10+20+40 structure in the proposal. We did
    that before because people tend to propose longer talks, and we had
    to do lots of e-mail coordination in order to squeeze everything
    into one track. If we&rsquo;re doing multiple streams, there&rsquo;s less time
    pressure, so we might not need to confuse people with those
    requirements. I think it would still be good to nudge people towards
    20 minutes for their prerecorded presentations (separate time for
    Q&A) instead of 40 minutes, because it&rsquo;s good for people&rsquo;s attention
    spans. As an incentive to consider a 5-10 minute talk, we can say
    that 5-10 minute videos can be played extra times during the
    conference to fill gaps.
    -   Choices:
        -   Keep the 10+20+40 structure so that people who want to propose
            longer talks are nudged to think about shorter versions
        -   Strongly nudge people towards 20-minute talks, with repeats as
            the incentive for shorter talks and extra coordination/waiting
            needed for longer talks. People propose just the talk length
            they want (and can optionally propose other talk lengths if they
            want to be considered for them).
-   We added emergency contact info, public contact info, pronouns, and
    introduction to the submission form because we ended up going back
    and forth with people in previous years, and sometimes we had
    incomplete info and were panicking about how to reach people during
    the conference. We could drop this from the submission form and do a
    separate speaker information form.
    -   Choices:
        -   Talk submission, then speaker information form: less
            intimidating for speakers
        -   Everything in one: easier for organizers


### Previous years

-   Ask for public e-mail or contact information, IRC handle in CFP
    -   Added to submit page.
-   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 &ldquo;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?&rdquo;
    -   sachac: I&rsquo;d love to experiment with rolling acceptances. If people
        have a good 10-20 minute version of their talk and we want to
        accept it in the program, it would be nice to be able to say yes
        early so that they can start working on it. We can work with any
        duplication of content in later proposals.
-   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.
    -   sachac: Who wants to help me with this?
-   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.
    -   Proposed dates in <https://emacsconf.org/2023/cfp/> have similar
        spacing, so yeah, we&rsquo;ll want to extend by only one week.
-   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.
    -   Added a brief note to CFP.
-   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.
    -   Let&rsquo;s see if we can do two streams again. That was fun.
-   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.
    -   Let&rsquo;s see if we can do two streams again. That was fun.
-   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.
    -   If we do rolling acceptances and we extend by at most one week
        instead of two, this should be fine.
-   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.
    -   Time pressure should be alleviated with multiple streams.
-   Sometimes, ikiwiki on front0 took a lot of time to process the new
    commits.  sachac assumed this is due to a faulty regex parsing.  We
    should be able to find out more by looking at the logs from ikiwiki
    after a slow commit.
    -   Seems speedy at the moment.
-   Ask for preferred timezone in CFP
    -   Added to availability.
-   Check with John Wiegley re: schedule - we always happen to coincide
    with his work trips
    -   I checked with him and the people at his work don&rsquo;t have a schedule
        yet, so we should go ahead and plan


### Lessons learned for next year

-   Maybe incentivize proper timezone specification by saying we can translate times to their local time?
-   Make sure to include cfp.org as an attachment instead of inline


### Other thoughts

-   sachac: bandali likes having the commitment to freedom section in the CFP as a form of activism
-   sachac: I thought about pulling the deadline back to Sept 1, but it might be
    good to keep it at Sept 14 so that anyone who tends to work with the
    schoolyear can still have a little time to work on it.

This time last year, we had 2 proposals, with most of the proposals
coming in at the end of the CFP. This was usually when we started
panicking about not having lots of proposals, but I think we can skip
stressing about it this year. <laugh> Even with the program as it is
now, we&rsquo;d already have a pretty fun EmacsConf. Can&rsquo;t wait to see what
it&rsquo;ll look like when more people get their proposals in!

bandali, maybe we can do a 1-month and/or 2-week reminder about the
CFP deadline? I&rsquo;d like to see if we can get away without officially
extending the CFP this time.

### Lessons learned from the CFP acceptance phase     :lessons:

-   Early acceptances are nice. A few got comments within the 1-week
    period, which helped refine the talk idea more. We probably don&rsquo;t
    need to make this a 2-week review period.
-   It&rsquo;s a good idea to send the review and acceptance e-mails even to
    fellow organizers/volunteers, even if they&rsquo;re quite familiar with
    the page already. =)
-   We successfully didn&rsquo;t panic about submissions, yay! It was nice to
    be able to draft schedules as we went along, and to compare the
    dates with last year&rsquo;s trends.
-   I added some more automation for including a template in a mail
    reply. Changing the subject to `EmacsConf 2023 acceptance: talk
      title` made it easier to verify that talks had been responded to.
-   I added `emacsconf-mail-add-submission` for parsing submissions from
    e-mail and adding them to `emacsconf-org-file`. That was nice
    because it automatically saved `EMAIL`, `DATE_SUBMITTED`, and
    `DATE_TO_NOTIFY`.
-   Displaying the schedule as a list with time constraints made it
    easier to verify the time constraints and to see how I can fix
    errors.
-   Drafting the schedule in the public organizers notebook was nice
    because I could share that with the speakers and other volunteers.

    -   <span class="timestamp-wrapper"><span class="timestamp">[2023-11-04 Sat] </span></span> Moved [emacsen](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/emacsen "The Emacsen family, the design of an Emacs and the importance of Lisp") earlier to accommodate live session, moved [test](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/test "What I learned by writing test cases for GNU Hyperbole") later to accommodate travel
    -   <span class="timestamp-wrapper"><span class="timestamp">[2023-10-31 Tue] </span></span> Cancelled hn, added [doc](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/doc "Literate Documentation with Emacs and Org Mode") before [emacsconf](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/emacsconf "EmacsConf.org: How we use Org Mode and TRAMP to organize and run a multi-track conference")
    -   Moved [hyperdrive](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/hyperdrive "hyperdrive.el: Peer-to-peer filesystem in Emacs") talk to general track; removed afternoon break. Changed [solo](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/solo "How I play TTRPGs in Emacs"), [unentangling](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/unentangling "(Un)entangling projects and repos"), [ref](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/ref "Org-Mode workflow: informal reference tracking"), [devel](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/devel "Emacs development updates"), [sat-close](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/sat-close "Saturday closing remarks"), [overlay](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/overlay "Improving compiler diagnostics with overlays"), [eval](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/eval "Editor Integrated REPL Driven Development for all languages"), [repl](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/repl "REPLs in strange places: Lua, LaTeX, LPeg, LPegRex, TikZ"), [hyperdrive](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/hyperdrive "hyperdrive.el: Peer-to-peer filesystem in Emacs"), and [world](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/world "GNU Emacs: A World of Possibilities"), but none of the talks moved by 2 hours or more, so no extra e-mails needed for now.
    -   <span class="timestamp-wrapper"><span class="timestamp">[2023-10-08 Sun] </span></span> Added [core](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/core "Emacs core development: how it works"). Moved [hyperdrive](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/hyperdrive "hyperdrive.el: Peer-to-peer filesystem in Emacs") to Sun afternoon.
    -   <span class="timestamp-wrapper"><span class="timestamp">[2023-10-09 Mon] </span></span> Renamed `extending` to [world](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/world "GNU Emacs: A World of Possibilities") and moved it to the morning to accommodate IST.
-   Saturday on the General track: Org day + misc
    -   [adventure](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/adventure "An Org-Mode based text adventure game for learning the basics of Emacs, inside Emacs, written in Emacs Lisp") is the first talk because of availability constraints; would be nice to connect it to [solo](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/solo "How I play TTRPGs in Emacs")
    -   [uni](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/uni "Authoring and presenting university courses with Emacs and a full libre software stack") for teaching, [teaching](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/teaching "Teaching computer and data science with literate programming tools") is also related, and [table](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/table "Who needs Excel? Managing your students qualifications with org-table") for grading
    -   [taming](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/taming "Taming things with Org Mode") and [one](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/one "one.el: the static site generator for Emacs Lisp Programmers") both deal with exports in some way. [unentangling](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/unentangling "(Un)entangling projects and repos") would be nice to add here, but that one needs to be in the afternoon because of availability constraints.
    -   [writing](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/writing "Emacs turbo-charges my writing") is connected to [nabokov](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/nabokov "Why Nabokov would use Org-Mode if he were writing today") (blog posts, novel). It&rsquo;s also a little connected to [one](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/one "one.el: the static site generator for Emacs Lisp Programmers") (exporting a blog).
    -   [collab](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/collab "Collaborative data processing and documenting using org-babel") and [solo](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/solo "How I play TTRPGs in Emacs") are amusing to pair together.
    -   [unentangling](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/unentangling "(Un)entangling projects and repos") and [ref](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/ref "Org-Mode workflow: informal reference tracking") are also Org-related. [ref](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/ref "Org-Mode workflow: informal reference tracking") would be nice to place together with [nabokov](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/nabokov "Why Nabokov would use Org-Mode if he were writing today"), but that would move [unentangling](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/unentangling "(Un)entangling projects and repos") too late.
    -   [devel](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/devel "Emacs development updates") is not Org-related, but probably good to share with everyone.
-   Saturday morning Development track: large language models, AI. Has to be morning because of [matplotllm](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/matplotllm "MatplotLLM, iterative natural language data visualization in org-babel"). [llm](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/llm "LLM clients in Emacs, functionality and standardization") is about general interfaces, so we can put that last. Could have a general LLM discussion after the talks. Can&rsquo;t swap it with Sunday morning because [test](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/test "What I learned by writing test cases for GNU Hyperbole") should stick with [hyperamp](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/hyperamp "Top 10 ways Hyperbole amps up Emacs") and [koutline](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/koutline "Using Koutline for stream of thought journaling") (Hyperbole talks), and the Hyperbole talks won&rsquo;t fit into Saturday morning
-   Saturday afternoon, developer track: REPLs, misc talks
    -   start off with developer tweaks: [overlay](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/overlay "Improving compiler diagnostics with overlays") (compilation), and then [eval](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/eval "Editor Integrated REPL Driven Development for all languages") and [repl](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/repl "REPLs in strange places: Lua, LaTeX, LPeg, LPegRex, TikZ") are paired together
    -   [hyperdrive](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/hyperdrive "hyperdrive.el: Peer-to-peer filesystem in Emacs"): adding another file protocol, using HTTP APIs
    -   [world](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/world "GNU Emacs: A World of Possibilities") might be replays of demos + Q&A session if people are interested
-   Sunday morning gen: Hyperbole (gen track, then crossing over to dev for testing) + misc talks
    -   Hyperbole mini-track is in the morning because of [test](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/test "What I learned by writing test cases for GNU Hyperbole")&rsquo;s availability constraints; [hyperamp](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/hyperamp "Top 10 ways Hyperbole amps up Emacs") and [koutline](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/koutline "Using Koutline for stream of thought journaling") go before it. Try to avoid conflicts so they can attend each other&rsquo;s talks
    -   Sunday morning after [test](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/test "What I learned by writing test cases for GNU Hyperbole") could be a fun extended &ldquo;let&rsquo;s write tests together&rdquo; session if someone wants to lead it
    -   [parallel](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/parallel "Parallel text replacement") needs to go in the morning. Might be okay to include in the general talk.
    -   [poltys](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/poltys "The browser in a buffer") and [cubing](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/cubing "Speedcubing in Emacs") aren&rsquo;t related to Hyperbole, but we need to fit them into the schedule somewhere. It would be nice to connect [poltys](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/poltys "The browser in a buffer") (talking to web browsers from Emacs) to [web](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/web "Emacs saves the Web (maybe)") (doing web stuff in Emacs instead), but [poltys](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/poltys "The browser in a buffer") needs to be in the morning (which is pretty full) and [web](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/web "Emacs saves the Web (maybe)") is in the afternoon because Yuchen is in Australia/Sydney.
    -   [cubing](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/cubing "Speedcubing in Emacs") can be something fun to transition to lunch, then.
-   Sunday afternoon gen: misc talks, community
    -   [eat](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/eat "Eat and Eat powered Eshell, fast featureful terminal inside Emacs") is about shells and running commands, so it&rsquo;s generally useful
    -   [emms](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/emms "Emacs MultiMedia System (EMMS)") is a user+dev talk
    -   community theme ([mentor](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/mentor "Mentoring VS-Coders as an Emacsian (or How to show not tell people about the wonders of Emacs)"), [hn](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/hn "The many ways to browse Hacker News from Emacs"), [sharing](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/sharing "Sharing Emacs is Caring Emacs: Emacs education and why I embraced video")), with an aside for [web](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/web "Emacs saves the Web (maybe)") (using Emacs as a client for stuff). [sharing](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/sharing "Sharing Emacs is Caring Emacs: Emacs education and why I embraced video") is possible closing keynote - encourage people to go out and explore/share all year? If not, [web](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/web "Emacs saves the Web (maybe)") could be good for a closing talk - encouraging people to use Emacs for more stuff.
-   Sunday dev: misc dev talks
    -   Morning:
        -   [test](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/test "What I learned by writing test cases for GNU Hyperbole") is related to the Hyperbole talks [hyperamp](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/hyperamp "Top 10 ways Hyperbole amps up Emacs") and [koutline](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/koutline "Using Koutline for stream of thought journaling"), so we don&rsquo;t want to overlap with the Q&A for those talks
        -   [flat](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/flat "A modern Emacs look-and-feel without pain"), [scheme](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/scheme "Bringing joy to Scheme programming"), [gc](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/gc "emacs-gc-stats: Does garbage collection actually slow down Emacs?"), [flat](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/flat "A modern Emacs look-and-feel without pain"), [windows](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/windows "Windows into Freedom"), [emacsconf](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/emacsconf "EmacsConf.org: How we use Org Mode and TRAMP to organize and run a multi-track conference"), [steno](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/steno "Programming with steno")
        -   [emacsen](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/emacsen "The Emacsen family, the design of an Emacs and the importance of Lisp") is more high-level and can talk about other editors
-   checking with [web](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/web "Emacs saves the Web (maybe)") and [hn](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/hn "The many ways to browse Hacker News from Emacs") if ~3pm Sunday afternoon (~7am Mon local time) is okay with them. It would be nice to pair it with [hn](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/hn "The many ways to browse Hacker News from Emacs"), which is nice to connect to [mentor](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/mentor "Mentoring VS-Coders as an Emacsian (or How to show not tell people about the wonders of Emacs)") and [web](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/web "Emacs saves the Web (maybe)").
-   Thinking about the flow:
    -   General: Org day, then misc talks Sunday morning and part of Sunday afternoon. Ending with a focus on community and expanding Emacs. It would be nice to get people excited about connecting and sharing throughout the year.
    -   Dev: people who are really curious about AI can connect on
        Saturday morning and keep the conversation going. Some programming
        tweaks are grouped together. The rest are mostly based on
        availability.
-   if the talks get cancelled, we can have an open meetup possibly with
    breakout rooms
-   coordination notes:
    -   TODO [uni](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/uni "Authoring and presenting university courses with Emacs and a full libre software stack"), [teaching](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/teaching "Teaching computer and data science with literate programming tools"), [table](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/table "Who needs Excel? Managing your students qualifications with org-table") are all about Emacs, Org Mode, and teaching
    -   TODO [repl](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/repl "REPLs in strange places: Lua, LaTeX, LPeg, LPegRex, TikZ"), [eval](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/eval "Editor Integrated REPL Driven Development for all languages")
    -   [hyperamp](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/hyperamp "Top 10 ways Hyperbole amps up Emacs"), [koutline](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/koutline "Using Koutline for stream of thought journaling"), and [test](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/test "What I learned by writing test cases for GNU Hyperbole") are all in touch because they work on Hyperbole together
    -   [hn](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/hn "The many ways to browse Hacker News from Emacs") and [web](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/web "Emacs saves the Web (maybe)")
    -   [unentangling](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/unentangling "(Un)entangling projects and repos"), [taming](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/taming "Taming things with Org Mode")?
    -   [matplotllm](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/matplotllm "MatplotLLM, iterative natural language data visualization in org-babel"), [voice](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/voice "Improving access to AI-assisted literate programming with voice control"), [llm](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/llm "LLM clients in Emacs, functionality and standardization") (so they don&rsquo;t all have to define LLMs?)
-   The schedule doesn&rsquo;t have neat aligned slots on purpose so that
    organizers can jump between streams if needed, and also because we
    have so many awesome talks. Somehow people managed to handle the
    schedule last year. =)
-   Next steps:
    -   Schedule: We&rsquo;ll e-mail the draft schedule to speakers so that they
        can get a sense of where they are in the schedule, see if they
        really want to make it to a conflicting session&rsquo;s Q&A live
        (they&rsquo;ll have early access to the videos), etc.
    -   Infrastructure:
        -   Dust off and document infrastructure, processes
        -   Sort out access to media.emacsconf.org so that we can get the upload service up and running
    -   Draft brief intros for talks, keeping in mind that we&rsquo;re going to say them out loud
    -   Speakers will work on videos, and we can help with nudges/coordination if needed


### DONE E-mail all the speakers a link to the draft schedule

so that they can confirm that I&rsquo;ve got their availability correctly coded and ask for any adjustments in case they really want to attend someone else&rsquo;s Q&A session


### DONE Announce schedule publicly


### DONE Incorporate &ldquo;About the speaker&rdquo; info on the wiki pages     :conforg:

Good idea to include it because that gives people (a) more context on
where a speaker is coming from, and (b) a feeling for the kinds of
backgrounds and interests people have.


### TODO Follow up with people we haven&rsquo;t heard from in a while

When do we want to do this?

We don&rsquo;t have to worry too much, because we can offer them the option of doing it live,
and we can have space in the schedule if they cancel last-minute.

-   res.emacsconf.org
    -   up right away, so people can get started on captions
    -   more memory than media.emacsconf.org - is the upload service thrashing?
-   media.emacsconf.org

-   mkdir /data/emacsconf/$year
-   rm ~/current
-   ln -s /data/emacsconf/$year current
-   ln -s /data/emacsconf/$year $year

When we receive files

-   change the TODO status to PROCESSING
-   mkdir ~/current/$slug
-   copy the files to there
-   rename-original $slug $file
-   process-prerec $video
-   Copy the files to the res:~/cache, laptop:~/proj/emacsconf/2023/cache, and media:~/backstage

### INPROGRESS Captions

-   OpenAI Whisper SaaS (<https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/speech-to-text/longer-inputs>) limits audio files to 25MB, so it&rsquo;s probably easier to do it ourselves


#### TODO E-mail previous captioning volunteers to see if they&rsquo;re interested in helping out


#### DONE E-mail captioning volunteers the backstage instructions


#### DONE E-mail current caption volunteers backstage information, captioning process, etc.

I&rsquo;ll wait a few days for Yoni to get back to us about whether he wants
to caption his own talk and/or seeing if other speakers will get their
talks in.

`emacsconf-mail-backstage-info`

Hi ${name}!

You&rsquo;re getting this e-mail because you have volunteered to help out
with captions for ${conf-name} ${year}. (Thank you so much!)

I&rsquo;m so excited! =) We&rsquo;re starting to get recorded talks, which means
it&rsquo;s time to get captions going. People really appreciate the
captions, especially when the captions have been lovingly edited by
volunteers who change things like &ldquo;Emax&rdquo; to &ldquo;Emacs&rdquo; and &ldquo;metaX&rdquo; to
&ldquo;M-x&rdquo;.

Just like last year, we&rsquo;re using OpenAI Whisper to give us a
reasonable starting point for transcripts. If working from scratch
works better for you, you&rsquo;re welcome to do that too.

We&rsquo;ve set up ${backstage} as the backstage area where you can view the
videos and resources uploaded so far. You can access it with the
username "${backstage-user}&ldquo; and the password &rdquo;${backstage-password}&ldquo;.
Please keep the backstage password and other speakers&rsquo; talk resources
secret. ${backstage-use}

To call dibs on a video to caption, just send a message to me at
sacha@sachachua.com and I can update the page so that it&rsquo;s assigned to
you. You can e-mail me the edited captions when you&rsquo;re done. Don&rsquo;t
worry too much about timestamps; we can re-align the text with the
audio afterwards. If life gets suddenly busy and you can&rsquo;t see it all
the way through, no worries. Just e-mail me what you&rsquo;ve got and I&rsquo;ll
put it back in the pool. Every little bit helps!

Thank you!

Sacha Chua

### DONE VNC

We use VNC to connect to the X servers on res.emacsconf.org so that we can stream from it.

Success:

-   [X] Confirm that you can connect to emacsconf-gen via VNC
-   [X] Confirm that you can connect to emacsconf-dev via VNC

Setting up

-   <emacsconf-publish-res-index>


<a id="vnc-instructions"></a>

#### Instructions

NOTE: VNC+OBS doesn&rsquo;t work well if you have a window manager that
automatically resizes windows, like i3. Please configure your window
manager so that the VNC window is not resized.

1.  Install a VNC viewer on your system (ex: tigervnc-viewer).

2.  Set up your local environment:
    -   gen: export TRACK=gen; export TRACK\_PORT=5905; export SSH\_PORT=46668
    -   dev: export TRACK=dev; export TRACK\_PORT=5906; export SSH\_PORT=46668

3.  Copy the password:
    
    scp emacsconf-$TRACK@res.emacsconf.org:~/.vnc/passwd vnc-passwd-$TRACK -p $SSH\_PORT

4.  Forward your local ports and connect via VNC viewer to the
    appropriate forwarded port from your laptop:
    
        ssh emacsconf-$TRACK@res.emacsconf.org -N -L $TRACK_PORT:127.0.0.1:$TRACK_PORT -p $SSH_PORT &
        sleep 5   # Give it time to establish the tunnels
        xvncviewer 127.0.0.1:$TRACK_PORT -shared -geometry 1280x720 -passwd vnc-passwd-$TRACK &

If you get the following error:

    channel 2: open failed: connect failed: Connection refused
    CConn:       End of stream
    CConn:       The connection was dropped by the server before the session could
                 be established.

then the VNC server hasn&rsquo;t started yet. You can start it with

    ssh emacsconf-$TRACK@res.emacsconf.org -p $SSH_PORT /home/emacsconf-$TRACK/bin/track-vnc

and then connect with:

    xvncviewer 127.0.0.1:$TRACK_PORT -shared -geometry 1280x720 -passwd vnc-passwd-$TRACK &


#### TODO Ask bandali or zaeph to share their window manager configuration     :bandali:zaeph:


### DONE OBS

We use OBS to stream to Icecast on live.emacsconf.org.

Success: Confirm that you can stream

-   [X] gen
-   [X] dev

New year: reprovision with

    ansible-playbook -i inventory.yml prod-playbook.yml --tags obs

so that the year is updated in the shell scripts.


<a id="obs-instructions"></a>

#### Instructions

1.  [Connect to the VNC session for the track.](#vnc-instructions)

2.  Start **recording** (not streaming). If you don&rsquo;t see OBS when you connect, it&rsquo;s probably on workspace 2, so you can switch with Alt-2. If you still don&rsquo;t see it there, you can open a terminal with Alt-Enter and then run `track-obs`. After you start recording, confirm that it is now broadcasting to the stream.

3.  Verify with MPV on your local system:
    
        mpv https://live0.emacsconf.org/$TRACK.webm &


#### DONE Double-check OBS setup and streaming on res


### DONE Icecast

Success: You can use [OBS+VNC to record](#obs-instructions), and the results can be viewed by mpv.

-   [X] Gen
-   [X] Dev

New year: reprovision with

    ansible-playbook -i inventory.yml prod-playbook.yml --tags stream

so that the year is updated in the configuration.

This is on live.emacsconf.org and can be restarted with `/etc/init.d/emacsconf restart`.


#### DONE Double-check icecast


### DONE MPV


### DONE Watch page

live.emacsconf.org is on the front0.emacsconf.org server.

To set up for the year:

1.  Create directories and update the Nginx configuration
    
        ansible-playbook -i inventory.yml prod-playbook.yml --tags live

2.  Generate the pages
    
        (emacsconf-publish-watch-pages)

3.  Add the $year/watch to the wiki.

4.  Create a $year/watch.md manually.


### DONE Status page

Manually maintained

/ssh:front0.emacsconf.org:/var/www/status.emacsconf.org/index.html


### DONE Public media

Start of year:

1.  Set `media_protect_root` to true in Ansible `group_vars/all.yml`.
2.  `ansible-playbook -i inventory.yml prod-playbook.yml --tags media`
3.  Generate the index with `emacsconf-publish-update-media`

Confirm by setting a submitted talk to `PLAYING` and testing with
<emacsconf-publish-media-files-on-change> . The public media
directory should have the files and the entry should be in the index.
Switching it back to `TO_STREAM` and calling
<emacsconf-publish-media-files-on-change> should remove it.


#### TODO Switch public media to unprotected root before the conference

1.  Clear public media directory.
2.  Set `media_protect_root` to false in Ansible `group_vars/all.yml`.
3.  `ansible-playbook -i inventory.yml prod-playbook.yml --tags media`

You can generate the index with `emacsconf-publish-update-media`.


### DONE Mumble

If you see `Server connection rejected: Wrong certificate or password.`, use **Certificate Wizard** to reimport the .p12 file in that user&rsquo;s home directory.


### DONE Etherpad

<emacsconf-pad-prepopulate-all-talks>


#### DONE Create pads for all the talks

Because the pads refer to the next and previous talks and include the talk titles, this is best redone after the schedule has settled down.


### DONE Pad proxy

#### DONE Regenerate overlays


#### TODO Add all intros to the backstage so that people can review them


#### TODO Record intro for Mike Hamrick

Next, we have &ldquo;Literate Documentation with Emacs and Org Mode&rdquo;, by Mike Hamrick. He will answer questions via BigBlueButton. You can join using the URL from the talk page or ask questions through Etherpad or IRC.


#### CANCELLED Write 1-2 sentence intros for all the talks

We do a brief introduction before each talk so that people know the
topic of the next talk, the pronunciation of the speaker&rsquo;s name, the
pronouns to use when referring to them, and the type of Q&A that will
follow.

The template we used last year was: &ldquo;In this talk, SPEAKER shares
TITLE OR SUMMARY. Afterwards, PRONOUN will handle questions over Q&A
METHOD.&rdquo;

This year, we asked speakers to contribute a short introduction. These
are in conf.org in the private repository. Many of the introductions
are a little longer than the template, but we might be able to handle
that. Some need to be rewritten into third-person (using the speaker&rsquo;s
name/pronouns instead of I). Some might be a bit of a tongue-twister
and can be rewritten to be easier to say.

We can store the introduction in the `INTRO_NOTE` property in
conf.org.

Actually recording the introductions can wait until closer to the
conference because talk titles and Q&A methods can change. We can
verify speaker name pronunciations at that time.

Hmm&#x2026; Actually, we can go ahead and record all of these so that
speakers can doublecheck pronunciations, and then we&rsquo;ll re-record them
in case someone wants to get fancier about intros.


##### Intros     :levels:

-   Good: Use the same template as before: In this talk, SPEAKER shares
    TITLE OR SUMMARY. Afterwards, PRONOUN will handle questions over Q&A
    METHOD.
-   Better: Include some more biographical information to give listeners some context.


##### DONE Do we want to use honorifics like Dr.?     :decision:

DECISION: Include in the intro-review email:

> We will usually introduce you by your first name (or handle, if you
> prefer to go by a pseudonym) but if you&rsquo;d rather be introduced
> differently (for example honorific followed by last-name, or whatever
> you prefer), just let us know.

Let&rsquo;s see if we can decide on this by <span class="timestamp-wrapper"><span class="timestamp">[2023-11-04 Sat] </span></span> so that we can
use it when recording the intros.

-   OPTION: Consistently using names without honorifics, even if indicated in the
    speaker-submitted intros (as in previous EmacsConfs)
    -   Equality
    -   votes: zaeph
-   CHOSEN: Asking speakers if they want us to use any honorifics in their intro:
    
    -   Observes personal preferences
    -   votes: corwin, max, jc (We can also say that we prefer not to use honorifics (it&rsquo;s not an academic
        -   Corwin&rsquo;s suggested wording: We will usually introduce you by your first name (or handle, if you prefer to go by a pseudonym) but if you&rsquo;d rather be introduced
            differently (for example honorific followed by last-name, or
            whatever you prefer) just let us know.
    
    conference) but we respect people&rsquo;s preferences.)
-   OPTION: Using honorifics based on e-mail signatures and intros:
    -   Recognizes credentials


#### DONE Record intro videos with 1-2 sentence intros for all the talks


#### DONE Record the rest of the intros


#### DONE Generate intro slides

We generate intro slides to display in between talks so that people
can find out information about the previous talk and learn about the
next talk. It includes talk titles, speaker names, URLs, and Q&A
methods. The image will also be used for an introduction video if we
can record one before the conference.

We also generate overlays that show talk information during the talk
itself.

SVGs don&rsquo;t support line-wrapping, so it helps to do a quick pass to
make sure all the talks are displayed properly.

Hmm&#x2026; Maybe I should take the names and pronouns off the video
overlay? Then there&rsquo;s less worry about wrapping, and people can always
go to the URL to get more information.

<a id="lowres"></a>

#### TODO Figure out a better way to handle 480p stream     :corwin:

It kept dropping last year and sachac didn&rsquo;t have the mental bandwidth to figure it out.
Might need another node so that we don&rsquo;t risk it getting killed for memory reasons?

Corwin has volunteered to take this on


### Audio processing


<a id="audio"></a>

#### TODO Find volunteers for audio processing (normalization, noise reduction) and document the process     :helpwanted:

-   audio normalization
-   noise reduction


### Other things people can help with


<a id="eval-video-sync"></a>

#### TODO Video editing: the eval talk is a little bit out of sync     :helpwanted:

The circular video inset into
<https://media.emacsconf.org/2023/backstage/#eval> is a little bit out
of sync with the audio. Not sure if the screenshare is offset as well.
Maybe just nudging the audio a little bit will be enough to bring
these in sync? If someone would like to fix this, that would be
awesome.


### TODO Write something for merging in information from previous years if not specified

-   availability
-   timezone
-   name
-   short name
-   pronouns

## Get ready for production

## Volunteers


### DONE E-mail the list asking people to sign up

Hi everyone!

EmacsConf is coming up soon! Here are some roles we need help with
during the conference:

-   Check-in (can handle both tracks):
    -   Keep an eye out for speakers on IRC and in the BigBlueButton room
    -   Give the speaker moderator permissions
    -   <https://emacsconf.org/2023/volunteer/checkin/>
-   Host (one for each track):
    -   Read out questions (and ask some of their own while waiting for questions to come in)
    -   Remind people how to join
    -   Keep the speaker company
    -   Moderate the Q&A sessions as needed
    -   Let us know when you want the Q&A session to be opened up to everyone
    -   <https://emacsconf.org/2023/volunteer/host/>
-   Streamer (one for each track):
    -   Manage what happens on the screen
    -   Listen to the audio volume on the stream and adjust as needed, especially for BigBlueButton rooms
    -   <https://emacsconf.org/2023/volunteer/stream/>
-   Internet Relay Chat scribe (one for each track):
    -   Check the IRC channel for questions and answers and copy them to the talk&rsquo;s Etherpad
    -   <https://emacsconf.org/2023/volunteer/irc/>
-   Pad scribe (one for each track):
    -   Add notes, questions, and answers to the talk&rsquo;s Etherpad
    -   <https://emacsconf.org/2023/volunteer/pad/>
-   Other things you might be interested in helping out with - feel free to suggest!

If you let us know which role(s) you&rsquo;re interested in, the track(s)
you&rsquo;re interested in (general / development) and your availability for
the conference (ex: Sat AM, Sat PM, Sun AM, Sun PM, or more granular
as needed), I can make a shift schedule.

If you&rsquo;re new to the role and have questions, we can help you get
started via e-mail or set up a training meeting. Let me know what you
want to know and what times what might work for you.

We can also set up a dry run in a couple of weeks so that people can
try working together. Please let me know your availability for maybe
Nov 11 or Nov 18 for a dry run.

Looking forward to a nice smooth EmacsConf!

Sacha

### DONE Document volunteer roles

Copied it over from the previous year


<a id="orgbb5487c"></a>

## Lessons learned

-   Make sure timezones are on anything that has time (schedule page, watch pages, etc.)
-   Remember to publish the icals and schedule org files: `emacsconf-update-schedule`. Added to the schedule-details.md.
-   For really late submissions, make sure you also create the pad (`emacsconf-pad-prepopulate-talk-pad`) and the BBB room (`emacsconf-spookfox-create-bbb`).
-   We need to move off the current bbb.emacsverse.org or discuss the future of the current BBB VM.

Thanks for submitting your proposal! (ZZZ: feedback) We&rsquo;re experimenting
with early acceptance this year, so we&rsquo;ll wait a week in case the
other volunteers want to chime in regarding your talk. =)

### Template

Hi, ${speakers-short}!

Looks like all systems are a go for your talk. =) Thanks for proposing
it! Your talk page is now at ${url} . Please feel free to update it or
e-mail us if you&rsquo;d like help with any changes.

If you want to get started on your talk early, we have some
instructions at <https://emacsconf.org/${year}/prepare/> that might help.
We strongly encourage speakers to prepare a talk video by
${video-target-date} in order to reduce technical risks and make
things flow more smoothly. Plus, we might be able to get it captioned
by volunteers, just like the talks last year. We&rsquo;ll save ${time} minutes
for your talk, not including time for Q&A. Don&rsquo;t sweat it if
you&rsquo;re a few minutes over or under. If it looks like a much shorter or
longer talk once you start getting into it, let us know and we might
be able to adjust.

I&rsquo;ll follow up with the specific schedule for your talk once things
settle down. In the meantime, please let us know if you have any
questions or if there&rsquo;s anything we can do to help out!

## DONE Check with hyperdrive and core if they&rsquo;re willing to swap     :decision:

DONE <span class="timestamp-wrapper"><span class="timestamp">[2023-10-08 Sun]</span></span>: hyperdrive on Sunday afternoon, will keep an eye out for openings on general track and call it out in the opening remarks so people know that it&rsquo;s a general talk.

If Stefan Kangas puts together [Emacs core development: how it works](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/core "Emacs core development: how it works")
speaking as a new Emacs maintainer, that might be a good general
closing talk on the first day because it can encourage people to help
with Emacs development. We don&rsquo;t have a lot of space on the General
track, but if we move [hyperdrive.el: Peer-to-peer filesystem in Emacs](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/hyperdrive "hyperdrive.el: Peer-to-peer filesystem in Emacs")
to the other track, then there&rsquo;s enough space.

It might also be a good idea to move [devel](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/devel "Emacs development updates") earlier than
[unentangling](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/unentangling "(Un)entangling projects and repos") in case John Wiegley can have a live Q&A
session (he might be travelling at that time, so it&rsquo;s unsure), so that
there&rsquo;s more time for people to ask emacs-devel highlight questions
and so that John Wiegley and Stefan Kangas can attend each other&rsquo;s
Q&A.

Joseph Turner wanted to make sure that people don&rsquo;t assume the
[hyperdrive](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/hyperdrive "hyperdrive.el: Peer-to-peer filesystem in Emacs") talk is too technical for them. We can rename the
tracks (Track A and Track B)? if that helps, so that people don&rsquo;t
think the other track is exclusively for more technical things.

Thoughts?


### Option A: Here&rsquo;s the schedule with [hyperdrive](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/hyperdrive "hyperdrive.el: Peer-to-peer filesystem in Emacs") in the second track and [core](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/core "Emacs core development: how it works") in the first track.

### Other ideas?

Feel free to suggest something!

Notes:

-   [sharing](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/sharing "Sharing Emacs is Caring Emacs: Emacs education and why I embraced video") is nice to pair with [mentor](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/mentor "Mentoring VS-Coders as an Emacsian (or How to show not tell people about the wonders of Emacs)") and [hn](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/hn "The many ways to browse Hacker News from Emacs") and might be a good general-audience keynote-type thing as well. I don&rsquo;t want to schedule [core](https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/core "Emacs core development: how it works") to compete with it.

## DONE Test the idea of three tracks and more aligned times     :decision:

Decision: We&rsquo;ll stick with the two-track schedule for now because it&rsquo;s
more likely, and we&rsquo;ll adjust as we get closer to the conference
depending on speaker submissions and on volunteer availability.

Note: Let&rsquo;s see if we can decide on this by <span class="timestamp-wrapper"><span class="timestamp">[2023-10-13 Fri] </span></span> so that we can
e-mail the draft schedules to people.

Compared to [two-track schedule](#draft-schedule):

What if we have three tracks instead?

-   Two-track advantages as in EmacsConf 2022:
    -   Fewer volunteers needed (host, IRC, pad)
    -   Can do with existing computing power (instead of spinning up another node for VNC+OBS)
    -   Less fear of missing out for participants
    -   votes: zaeph
-   Three-track advantages:
    -   More space between talks for streaming the Q&A
    -   Easier to explain the schedule
    -   More logical grouping
    -   Ends earlier, which is easier for participants from Europe
    -   votes: max (Three tracks is the best policy if you’re more than 75% sure that you can round up the volunteers)
-   [Three tracks just for Sunday morning](#three-tracks-sun-am):
    -   Allows us to have 20 minutes between talks instead of 15
    -   Might be easier to test the idea for just one part of the conference

### Three tracks for Sunday morning?

-   unentangling: Starts at 14:35 before 15:00
-   world: Ends at 16:20 after 11:30
-   Missing talks: core
