Hello fellow Emacsians! By all accounts, EmacsConf 2019 was a big success, and I'd like to say thank you to each and every one of you for your help and efforts in making it so! With just over 3 weeks after the conference, I'm very happy to announce that the EmacsConf 2019 videos are now available for your viewing pleasure! Videos ------ To view the videos and accompanying material, head to the videos page of EmacsConf 2019 at: https://emacsconf.org/2019/videos I would like to say a huge thank you to the Computer Science Club of the University of Waterloo for agreeing to host the EmacsConf videos on their mirror server. Thank you CSC! The videos were also uploaded to toobnix.org, a PeerTube instance run by the SDF folks and part of the fediverse network. Feel free to visit the EmacsConf channel at https://toobnix.org/video-channels/emacsconf and browse the "EmacsConf 2019" playlist for an ordered list of this year's videos. Shownotes pad ------------- Per suggestion of Karl Voit, the viewers used a shared etherpad for collecting show notes and other useful tidbits of information on Nov 2. The pad has been archived and converted to an Org file by Karl himself (thank you, Karl!). See https://emacsconf.org/2019/pad for more information. Caveats ======= Of the 32 talks scheduled for EmacsConf 2019, 31 of them are available for your viewing right now! With only these caveats: 1. Due to technical difficulties, we were sadly unable to host Sachin's live talk on the day of the conference. Sachin has told us that he would send us a recording, but that he is currently very busy. Of course, we will make Sachin's recording available as soon as it's ready and we receive it. 2. Another technical issue lead to frozen video starting in the middle of Howard's talk. Howard told us that he would work on putting together a recording of his talk, and we'll post the recording as soon as we get it. 3. Please note that the links for the videos and especially the notes/transcripts are very likely to change in the near future, and as such, I'd like to ask that you please try to link to the main videos page itself https://emacsconf.org/2019/videos as much as possible for now while we sort this out. I have been looking for a nice low-overhead and bare-bones free software solution for hosting the conference videos, and I think I've found a great candidate, LibreTube: https://libregit.org/heckyel/libretube. I'll look into experimenting with LibreTube and setting this up on our server if it suits our needs well. That will likely imply a change of some URLs, so if that's necessary, I'll try to make the change as smooth as possible, e.g. by setting up automatic redirects to the new addresses. Postmortem (coming soon) ======================== Now with the videos taken care of, I will work on preparing a postmortem followup article with details of our free software infrastructure and streaming setup, as promised. Thanks again to all of you for all of your help and encouragements; I look forward to seeing you around for the next EmacsConf! P.S. we will hopefully have even more exciting news to share with y'all soon; be sure to keep an eye on this list. ;-) Best, amin
