We like to have at least a month to work on audio
normalization and transcription, and we want
speakers to have at least a month to work on their
videos (considering early submissions will already
have gotten started on processing).

# Communications plan

Objectives:

-   keep everyone in the loop without them feeling like they&rsquo;re overloaded

Everyone:

-   [ ] Call for participation (speakers and volunteers)
-   [ ] Reminder about CFP
-   [ ] Last call

Speakers:

-   [ ] Send all speakers backstage access and upload instructions
-   [ ] Send all speakers check-in instructions

Volunteers:

-   [ ] Send captioning volunteers the backstage info
-   [ ] Send past captioning volunteers an invitation to participate - ask when there&rsquo;s a lot of load
-   [ ] Ask for help with audio processing

# 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!
