WEBVTT

00:00.007 --> 00:03.445
Welcome to the second day of EmacsConf 2024.

00:03.446 --> 00:05.164
Today we have one track of talks,

00:05.165 --> 00:06.483
so you don't have to worry about

00:06.484 --> 00:07.922
missing out on anything.

00:07.923 --> 00:11.201
The best parts of EmacsConf are the conversations.

00:11.202 --> 00:14.000
The wiki has a page on how to watch and participate,

00:14.001 --> 00:15.799
and I'll give you a quick overview as well.

00:15.800 --> 00:18.678
You can watch the stream at live.emacsconf.org

00:18.679 --> 00:20.917
using free and open source software.

00:20.918 --> 00:23.316
Using a streaming media player like mpv

00:23.317 --> 00:26.195
seems to be the best way to watch in terms of performance

00:26.196 --> 00:28.034
but there are also web-based players

00:28.035 --> 00:29.273
just in case that's all you've got.

00:29.274 --> 00:30.672
As you're watching the talks,

00:30.673 --> 00:32.951
you can refer to the schedule in another window.

00:32.952 --> 00:35.750
Hover over the boxes to see the times and titles,

00:35.751 --> 00:37.389
and click on the boxes in the schedule

00:37.390 --> 00:39.948
to jump to the talk's page for more details.

00:39.949 --> 00:42.147
You can also get the schedule as an iCalendar file

00:42.148 --> 00:44.226
or as an Org file in different time zones.

00:44.227 --> 00:45.705
Many talks will be followed by

00:45.706 --> 00:47.624
live Q&A web conferences with the speaker,

00:47.625 --> 00:50.543
which will be done in BigBlueButton or BBB.

00:50.544 --> 00:52.902
These are indicated with a solid border on the schedule

00:52.903 --> 00:55.501
and by Q&A: BBB on the schedule page.

00:55.502 --> 00:57.580
You can join the web conference room

00:57.581 --> 00:59.259
by clicking on the BBB link

00:59.260 --> 01:01.658
on the schedule page or the talk's webpage.

01:01.659 --> 01:04.937
Then you can ask your questions yourself when the Q&A starts.

01:04.938 --> 01:07.336
To improve performance, please keep your webcam off

01:07.337 --> 01:09.735
and stay muted until it's your turn to talk.

01:09.736 --> 01:11.214
If you don't like Javascript,

01:11.215 --> 01:13.373
you can still ask questions via IRC

01:13.374 --> 01:15.012
and the hosts can read them out for you.

01:15.013 --> 01:16.731
We're probably going to automatically switch

01:16.732 --> 01:18.930
between talks and Q&A sessions,

01:18.931 --> 01:21.529
so the transitions on the stream might be a little sudden.

01:21.530 --> 01:23.408
People in the BigBlueButton room

01:23.409 --> 01:25.047
can continue the conversation

01:25.048 --> 01:27.646
even after the talk moves off-stream,

01:27.647 --> 01:29.565
and you can also reach out to the speakers

01:29.566 --> 01:32.564
using the contact information on the talk page.

01:32.565 --> 01:35.243
Other talks will have Q&A via Etherpad or IRC,

01:35.244 --> 01:37.282
depending on what the speakers prefer.

01:37.283 --> 01:39.761
This is indicated in the schedule with a dashed border

01:39.762 --> 01:41.200
and on the schedule page as well.

01:41.201 --> 01:43.679
Please ask your questions in the recommended places

01:43.680 --> 01:45.718
so that the speakers can easily see them.

01:45.719 --> 01:47.476
Again, if you ask your questions in IRC,

01:47.477 --> 01:49.636
we'll try to copy them to the right places.

01:49.637 --> 01:50.995
We're going to start Sunday morning

01:50.996 --> 01:53.154
with more IRC/Etherpad Q&A

01:53.155 --> 01:54.073
to try to get around

01:54.074 --> 01:55.392
some of the bandwidth issues

01:55.393 --> 01:56.431
that we noticed last year.

01:56.432 --> 01:59.110
The schedule pages and track pages have quick shortcuts

01:59.111 --> 02:02.189
so that you can find out more about talks, open the Etherpads,

02:02.190 --> 02:03.916
and join the Q&A sessions.

02:03.917 --> 02:05.707
The watch page has more tips

02:05.708 --> 02:07.666
on how to make the most of Q&A.

02:07.667 --> 02:10.265
If you can, please add notes and ask questions

02:10.266 --> 02:12.424
in the Etherpad for the talk. That makes it easier

02:12.425 --> 02:13.863
for everyone to share their notes,

02:13.864 --> 02:16.542
and speakers and hosts can read the questions from there.

02:16.543 --> 02:19.141
We'll copy the notes to the talk pages afterwards.

02:19.142 --> 02:20.540
We have one pad for each talk,

02:20.541 --> 02:22.579
so you can follow the links to get to the next one

02:22.580 --> 02:25.178
or go back to the schedule and get the link from there.

02:25.179 --> 02:26.817
If you have general feedback about

02:26.818 --> 02:29.056
the conference itself, please put it in

02:29.057 --> 02:34.135
pad.emacsconf.org/2024 , which is linked on each pad.

02:34.136 --> 02:37.134
You can also use this as a general community message board

02:37.135 --> 02:38.893
for things like Help Wanted.

02:38.894 --> 02:40.172
Or you can put it in IRC

02:40.173 --> 02:41.531
and we'll find it there too.

02:41.532 --> 02:44.210
Internet Relay Chat or IRC can be another great way

02:44.211 --> 02:46.329
to be part of lots of conversations.

02:46.330 --> 02:49.768
You can use chat.emacsconf.org to join the IRC channels

02:49.769 --> 02:51.212
through your web browser.

02:51.213 --> 02:53.046
The tabs on the left can help you

02:53.047 --> 02:54.725
switch between the different channels.

02:54.726 --> 02:56.284
Most discussions will be in

02:56.285 --> 02:58.563
#emacsconf-gen for the General track.

02:58.564 --> 03:03.002
If you need to reach us, you can join #emacsconf-org

03:03.003 --> 03:07.241
or e-mail emacsconf-org-private@gnu.org.

03:07.242 --> 03:10.240
You can use #emacsconf for hallway conversations.

03:10.241 --> 03:12.519
Of course, you can join any of these channels

03:12.520 --> 03:14.718
with your favourite IRC client.

03:14.719 --> 03:17.197
You can connect to irc.libera.chat

03:17.198 --> 03:19.836
port 6697 with TLS.

03:19.837 --> 03:23.075
Once again, we're going to be streaming with open captions

03:23.076 --> 03:25.834
for most of the talks this year, thanks to our speakers and

03:25.835 --> 03:28.873
captioning volunteers. The captioned talks are indicated

03:28.874 --> 03:31.592
on the schedule, and with any luck, we'll be posting

03:31.593 --> 03:34.951
transcripts on talk pages shortly after the talks start.

03:34.952 --> 03:36.710
If you need additional accommodations,

03:36.711 --> 03:38.909
please let us know in #emacsconf-org

03:38.910 --> 03:40.428
and we'll see if we can make things happen.

03:40.429 --> 03:44.627
If something goes down, we'll update status.emacsconf.org.

03:44.628 --> 03:46.506
If it doesn't look like we've noticed yet,

03:46.507 --> 03:49.745
please let us know in the #emacsconf-org IRC channel,

03:49.746 --> 03:51.424
where we will be quietly panicking.

03:51.425 --> 03:54.503
In all of these conversations, please keep in mind

03:54.504 --> 03:57.382
our guidelines for conduct. You can find them on the wiki,

03:57.383 --> 03:59.661
They basically boil down to: please be nice.

03:59.662 --> 04:02.900
If all goes well, the prerecorded talks and transcripts

04:02.901 --> 04:04.179
should be available from the talk pages

04:04.180 --> 04:05.698
shortly after they start playing,

04:05.699 --> 04:08.017
and we'll post the recordings of live talks

04:08.018 --> 04:10.176
and Q&A sessions within the next month or so.

04:10.177 --> 04:13.175
If you'd like to get an update, you can subscribe to

04:13.176 --> 04:15.134
the emacsconf-discuss mailing list.

04:15.135 --> 04:16.653
All right, let's get going.

04:16.654 --> 04:19.572
Leo Vivier is hosting the general track again today.

04:19.573 --> 04:23.131
The other volunteers and I will run around mostly backstage,

04:23.132 --> 04:25.210
and you'll probably meet us in the closing remarks.

04:25.211 --> 04:28.689
That's also where we get to thank

04:28.690 --> 04:30.648
all the people and organizations

04:30.649 --> 04:32.927
who make EmacsConf even possible.

04:32.928 --> 04:36.647
Thanks for coming to EmacsConf 2024.
