Hi everyone!
Here's what's been happening backstage.
- Speakers have been submitting their videos, hooray! I added a
schedule to the backstage page at
<
https://media.emacsconf.org/2022/backstage/> so that people can see
how the schedule's coming along. We expect more talks to come in the
next two weeks. Not panicking yet. =)
- Thanks to all the people who've been working on captions so far!
Bhavin, Andrea, and Ramin did the captions for their talks, and Jai
captioned Bala's talk. Tom, Bhavin, and Hannah are currently working
on captions. There are three more talks backstage if anyone wants to
work on them.
- I just posted some notes on how I reflow and edit subtitles in case
they're helpful:

It's also linked from the backstage page under More info: editing
captions.
- We added the Emacs development updates talk from John Wiegley and
updated the times of other talks based on messages from the
speakers.
- We did a dry run of the OBS streaming setup with Leo, Amin, and
Corwin. I think we're on track to being able to broadcast two
streams this year.
- IRC announcements, BBB redirection, and media file publishing can
now all automatically happen when the talk status changes,
simplifying our work during the conference. Video playback and Q&A
browser windows can happen automatically if streaming from
res.emacsconf.org. I want to get the publishing workflow all
smoothed out too, so that talks and transcripts can be more easily
published to the wiki pages during the conference.
Plans for this week:
- More videos and captions!
- I plan to work on talk page publishing so that it happens smoothly during the conference
- Leo's going to review the videos submitted so far and prepare intros for them
- Might be a good idea to reach out to speakers for tech checks and bios
EmacsConf is a little less than four weeks away. Stuff is happening!
