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).

Objectives:
- keep everyone in the loop without them feeling like they'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'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'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!

Legend:
- light blue: constraint is <= a time
- peach: constraint is >= a time
- solid line: Q&A will be through BigBlueButton web conference
- dashed line: Q&A will be IRC/Etherpad during the event or e-mail after the event

Notes:

- Updates:
  - [2024-10-22 Tue] Swapped emacsconf:org-teach and emacsconf:blee
  - [2024-10-21 Mon] Extended emacsconf:blee
  - [2024-10-17 Thu] Added emacsconf:org-update to Saturday morning, moving emacsconf:org-teach to Sunday afternoon
  - [2024-10-15 Tue] Swapped emacsconf:students and emacsconf:literate for availability reasons
  - [2024-10-13 Sun] Moved emacsconf:hyperdrive to the afternoon (swapping with emacsconf:flp) because of changed availability
  - [2024-10-12 Sat] I fixed the time constraint for emacsconf:students (needs to be in the afternoon), so I moved emacsconf:hyperbole to the morning.
- General approach:
  - I've mostly tried to alternate IRC/pad Q&A with live Q&A.
  - 1.5 tracks keeps things faster-paced than the 2-track option.
- Sat:
  - Gen track:
    - emacsconf:papers, emacsconf:project, emacsconf:org-teach, emacsconf:flp, emacsconf:color should be pretty general
    - emacsconf:color and emacsconf:theme are both theme-related. emacsconf:color needs to be in the morning and emacsconf:theme needs to be in the afternoon, so I put them on either side of the lunch break.
    - Other afternoon talks: emacsconf:water and emacsconf:shell are by the same speaker. emacsconf:casual, emacsconf:hyperdrive, and emacsconf:writing will probably be good for a general audience. These speakers are only available in the afternoon, so this part of the schedule is a bit tight.
    - I put emacsconf:emacs30 at the end of Saturday to act sort of as a keynote. Closing remarks on Saturday are usually very light, so we could skip them.
  - Dev track:
    - emacsconf:gypsum, emacsconf:rust, emacsconf:julia, emacsconf:guile, and emacsconf:mcclim are about other projects
    - emacsconf:graph, emacsconf:p-search, emacsconf:secrets, and emacsconf:repro will probably be more dev-focused
- Sun:
  - Sunday morning last year had some packet loss issues at around 9:30, so we'll start with some talks that don't have BBB Q&A: emacsconf:students, emacsconf:links, emacsconf:regex
  - emacsconf:blee and emacsconf:language are probably general-audience
  - emacsconf:pgmacs, emacsconf:regex, and emacsconf:transducers are all development-oriented, but are on the general track for scheduling purposes. [[emacsconf:transducers]] can only be on Sunday afternoon at 4pm because of availability.
  - I've separated emacsconf:hyperbole and emacsconf:hywiki by lunch so that people who are interested in that can attend the live Q&A for both without worrying about missing things.
  - emacsconf:learning, emacsconf:sharing, emacsconf:literate will probably be good for a general audience
